Not looking to ruffle any feathers here cause I know it can be a touchy subject for some people who don’t enjoy the hobby but are there any hunter/fishermen on here? Any successful hunts from the past season? If pictures are allowed I’d love to see um!
I like fishing but don’t do much of it these days.
LOVE hunting and get out every chance I get which hasn’t been often this year due to much time spent at work. Archery hunt locally for deer and usually go up north, Sudbury area, each year for bear, moose, deer. Our group was lucky enough to get a nice bull moose this year. My brother shot it…was his first big game animal ever.
Hunt deer locally at my uncles farm in Essex County. Haven’t been out more than 3-4 times this year though. Off all next week so hoping to hunt every day and put some venison in the freezer before the season ends…we’ll see? I’m usually fortunate enough to get at least one deer a year off the farm, sometimes two if I can get out often enough.

Sounds awesome! Deer season is still open there? Ours ended weeks ago. I got my first deer this year on my third season hunting. Heavy bodied 4 pointer. Around 180lb field dressed, he ran about 20 feet and was out before he hit the ground. Butcher found a broad head in his neck, I imagine he was in some serious pain but was a very healthy deer otherwise

Wow that’s alright. Just small game for us know. I’m trying for some yotes once the snow flies!
I do a bit of both. Its been a long time since i’ve gone for big game but every year we got for Duck and Geese. This year has been a bad year for Fishing and hunting for me. Would love to have the time to get out there more. My boys are getting to the age where I could take them out hunting with me but I’m afraid i’d be too tempted to shoot their tablets right out of their hand.
This year is shaping out to be a colder winter than last year so hopefully i can continue our annual CCF ice fishing herf. Bring on the ice!!!

Congrats on that first one !! Over here we call it beginners luck as the 1st timer always gets one !!
Been hunting / fishing since my young age, courtesy of my dad…Many years together going on a whitetail hunt or trout - walleye fishing trips. On my part I was extensively involved in waterfowl hunting for more that 20yrs, even had the big 10 Ga for that purpose !! Many many successfull hunts & happy times…I also did a lot off upland hunting, trying out various over-unders on grouse & woodcock…
Pretty slow in the last few years (read as I stopped hunting) as my dad passed away a few years ago & most hunting partners were lost as times changes…But one day I’ll get back at it…

I haven’t gotten into the duck and upland yet but I hope to eventually! My goal for the upcoming fishing season is to hook into a big ol Brown trout. Havent managed to get my hands on one yet!
Use to do a good bit of duck and goose hunting too…no 10 guage though…can you say BOOM!! lol
Lost touch with those hunting partners and don’t really have a place to hunt right now.
My dad lives up north now so I don’t hunt with him as often but still cherish hunting with him a couple times a year. We got our moose on his property this year. 180 acres just outside of Thunder Bay.
My wife and youngest daughter just got their hunting license and PAL this summer so looking forward to many good hunting memories with them. My oldest daughter plans to get hers too when she’s not so busy with school.

J.Krug, We’re not that far apart, I’m mostly a Bird/Rabbit hunter but your right the key is finding a place to hunt.

Ya, I’m really happy about that too. I have 3 daughters and they’ve always enjoyed shooting my long guns and handguns with me as well as our crossbows. It makes a man smile to see his pretty little daughters sending lead downrange from a .45!!
The last couple years the oldest and youngest have gone hunting with me a few times and have really enjoyed it and wanted to get into it so I have encouraged them and helped to foster an interest in it for them. Very, very special to hunt with them now. Wifey likes shooting the crossbows but is a little intimidated by the firearms but that’s ok. We’ll have fun together archery hunting locally.

Very cool that we are so close…practically neighbours for Pete’s sake.
Hunting is very popular in our area and interest/participation is growing steadily. I’m pretty fortunate to have my uncle’s farm to hunt and it’s only 10 minutes from my house. I don’t know what I’d do if I didn’t have his place to hunt. It’s a deer hot spot too!!
We’ll have to try and meet up for a smoke and talk up some hunting and shooting one day soon.
Alberta moose from this fall.

That’s a real nice moose nitrousbird. Congratulations.
Here’s the moose my brother shot when we were hunting near Sudbury this fall.

Ah well heck I’ll share a picture then.. my deer this season. First one I’ve gotten. You can see in the other picture the swelling on his neck where the broadhead got stuck in there. It was about 5 or 6 weeks later I dropped him.

Found this old cleaning kit in the basement. Seems to be a pretty think cleaning rod. Might be good for shot gun, don’t thick it’ll fit any rifle. Cool find non the less

Another sportsman here. Like most, I don’t get out as often as I’d like to but I’m hoping to turn that around in 2017. Both my sons go for their PAL and hunter courses in early April and I hope to bag some waterfowl with them this coming fall.
Can’t wait for the turkey opener.
