Gun Owning Smokers

[CptnBlues63]

Yes CptBlues63 I'm a hunter. My home is Alberta where if there was a season for it, I hunted it. I unfortunately don't find myself with those opportunities anymore. I am now living in Southern Ontario. The hunting opportunities are just not the same. The fishing though is impressive:)

Dude!

I moved here from SK here to AB in 2005. In SK I only ever hunted deer, waterfowl and upland game. No moose or elk. Since moving here, I've stopped hunting birds (am considering getting back into it) but now hunt elk, moose as well as both types of deer. I'm up in Athabasca, about 2 hr's north of Edmonton. Whereabouts in AB are you from?

On our annual hunting trip we hunt on the Peace River valley, almost at the BC border near Silver Valley, AB.

I'm lead to understand there's lots of excellent hunting in northern Ontario. I wouldn't know, I've only ever hunted in SK and AB. But it might be worth checking around, you might meet someone who does hunt in Northern ON. I'm betting you're already signed up on canadiangunnutz.com ? If not, you should and maybe ask around on there. Lot's of members from ON. Barring that, if you own a travel trailer, you could go hunt crown land.

I hear the walleye fishing out Ontario way almost compares to the walleye in SK and MN.

Went out to Tobin Lake, SK this past June with my long time friend and fishing partner. We tied into lots of fish, just none of the real huge ones. My bro and I have both been avid fisherman since around age 5 and have logged many hours together in a boat. His family and mine both had cabins at lakes (different ones of course) and we've fished pretty much every species there is in SK at one time or another and have fished many, many different lakes all over the province. The limits here in AB suck totally (most cases it's zero and the rest are either one fish, or at best, two. Sk it's still 4 or 5 in most lakes) and there aren't near as many lakes as SK or MN. Oh well, I gained in the hunting department but lost in the fishing. Just goes to show, you can't have everything. Luckily I like hunting almost as much as fishing............
