Nice to see this dine...!!!
Way to go Rodney ;D
So How may hunters do we have here...I started fishing with my Dad around 5-6 years old...He taught me to shoot at the age of 8 and started hunting at 10...have hunted ever since...mainly moose and deer with the odd bear thrown in....
I have found that most hunters are also fishermen and vice versa...what about you....???

Searun has tried to talk me into going out with him a few times, and I would like to. Just haven't gotten around to getting the permits just yet. But maybe someday!! ;D
-
love to hunt waterfowl mostly, theres nothing like that sounds when duck hits the ground
-
I Kill some stuff on a regular basis if given the chance, its duck season for now!!!!!!!!!!!!
-
aYup! ;D
First and foremost passion! Was in deer & elk camps at age 4, handed a rifle at age 10 and told to "fill yer boots". Been doing so for over 35 years now.
Have hunted waterfowl, upland birds (still desperately miss pheasants!) and big game in many varied locations from the Arctic down through Western Canada & the States, and Africa. Now living on The Rock, I've become chiefly a slayer of larger game, and usually make a couple of pilgrimages to our North Country, or points East (Alberta & Saskatchewan) annually. Couldn't make that this year, but already planning next ;) Managed a couple of fine eatin' black-tails on the Island, but that simply didn't provide the fix chasing elk, moose or canny whitetails does.
Fishing has always been a secondary call for me. But the hunting season only lasts so long, and a guy's gotta do something to fill in the gaps between them :D
Like the new to the Forum Rod (http://bestsmileys.com/thumbs/7.gif)
Cheers,

hows the duck hunting been for you thomas? me and dusty have done well when we've gone out. havent had too much time though with his school.
-
Have for 50 plus years mostly waterfowl but used to have wonderful hunts for blue grouse around Chemainus as well as deer.
It was good to get out for a deer again after getting the last one 30 years ago.
The 4 point from up Clinton way this year sure makes for some nice eating and could make a interesting journal one day, when time permits. ::)
Thanks Rodney for Hunters Cabin, a great title. ;D
-
You know it! Had a pretty slow year, deer didn't seem to be sticking to their traditional areas all that well due to a dry summer and short grass. Managed to get one though. Time to look for new spots, anyone ;D?
-
I've had a hunting license every year since I was 14 so that's 43 so far, in my opinion there is hardly anything as much fun as sneaking up on something all day when you don't have a clue where it is, which is how I do my blacktail hunting. I'm happy to see this addition to FWR.
-
I have been thinking about it for the last couple years. Dont have anything so I would have to find out everything I need and learn I guess. Sounds like fun though. I love the taste of deer and moose so it would be worth it.
-
Yes, great eating, sure enjoying the deer I got this year.
-
I have got all the books and a teacher in searun ;D , just need the time to write the exames. Love the taste of wild game but love the outdoors even more. Better get it soon though because I am sure that searun is getting tired of me saying "this year yes definatly this year" . ;D ;D .
-
Used to go a lot more then recently..moving to Washington it's sad down here hunting wise..I'm in the process of getting my b.c. hunting license..(no you can't ask how)...not a trophy hunter but got a nice bear on my wall and a few antelopes...I trying to hook up the time off for some moose and elk..best meat around...all comes down to getting the time off though and that's been my biggest hinderence....been out on the flats for ducks too...good feathers for the fly tying.. ;D
-
Great to see a Hunting section!
Big game is my fav but I hunt waterfowl quite a alot.
-
didn't see the forum till today, dont forget me guys! Big game only, no girly bird hunting for me!
-
any retard can point a rifle and shoot a big deer or bear, it takes skill to call waterfowl and get them to commit, or shoot them on the pass, takes a lot of practice and skill to learn how to lead them properly and its the best hunting around.
-
Big game or bird shooting both require its own set of skills... I would not just pin point at certain type of hunting. And kingpin, i would not make such statement "any retard can point a rifle and shoot a big deer or bear..." Each of those game do mean alot to that hunter. He/She might put in hours and hours of stalking, climing thousands of feet in rough terrain, soaking in down pours or baking under the boiling sun before they get that animal... Anyway, we still got about another 10 days before the season end so go out and do some field control... goodluck
-
i wasnt saying big game hunting is easy, i know how much effort can go into finding animals and stalking/tracking them, its tough, i was just saying shooting waterfowl is tougher IMO as you have to lead them and fall into a rythme and get used to it. i think pointing a gun with a high powered scope at an animal is easy compared to learning how to shoot birds. maybe im just a good shot though ;D
-
im a hunter that dont hunt anymore try to stay on the river ???
-
I hunt mainly big game, I used to hunt birds in the beginning but the shot gun doesn't agree with my back from a work injury that won't go away. My favorite hunting is stalking blacktails in the thick of it and though it is gruelling hiking at times, I have taken some nice animals from some crazy places. I hunt for meat and the enjoyment of being in the wild. This year I am on a mission for a big bull elk.... I missed one on a stalk this year, my calling partner had it within 100 yards but the cover was too thick for a clean shot so I passed. I also love hunting upland birds and i do so with a tricked out .22 with a 6 to 18 power scope, nice clean head shots so none of those little birdies lose any meat.
just saw this section today, pleased that Rod has included hunting on this great site
I also enjoy hunting bulls eyes at the gun range... this lil baby helps me out with that... can't take this one in the bush but that's prolly a good thing :D

Ive been known to do a little hunting as well. Not much of late, but I intend to get back to it in the near future and get another moose.
-
I know all about shoot water foul, i trap shoot out at the richmond range! 12ga. burretta breaks them clays nicely! I just find big game more exciting, and physically tougher!
-
I personally enjoy mulie/blacktail hunting in regions 1, 2, 8, and 5. I have taken animals from all areas listed, each presents its own unique challenges.

Wow, I have been away from this site for a few months and look what happend. A Hunting Cabin! Thanks Rod.
