Just for curiosity's sake (and to give us an idea of how many Canadians visit this site), please make a post here with a few details about your location etc.

I'm a retired civil servant living in the Ottawa, Ontario area (Don't crucify me yet! :eek: ). I'm primarily a big game hunter, going to the Parry Sound district for 2 weeks of deer and 1 week of moose hunting each year. I bowhunt moose in the Kapuskasing area, and bowhunt deer locally.

Anyone else?

Youse guys bedder be quiet!!! All dem udder guys on dis site frum de Unexplored Southern Area might jus' figger out dat der is sumtin' tween Warshington State an 'Laska!

But they will never understand Rick Mercer or Red Green!

I'm a P.Eng. (Mech.), and live in South Central B.C., midway between Calgary and Vancouver.

Keep yer stick on the ice.

PS - How about them Canucks!

Rick Teal · « **Reply #2 on:** December 03, 2002, 04:10:03 PM »

Welcome aboard guys - maybe we can get a few more Canucks to sign in, and get into some real government bashing (our national past time).

Jim:

I follow the Sens myself, and they've been doing great as well with 18 points in 10 games, but the Canucks are unreal right now.

p.s. I don't get Rick Mercer and Red Green myself. :? :oops:

My wife used to get rather peeved with us, when my two boys (then young teenagers) and myself would recite the "Man's prayer" at the end of the show.

Being a mechanical engineer, Reds my hero.

Did you guys kidnap Red Green ?

Hey Rick
So you got the big chair here eh?
Red Green is as Canadian as "eh".

I hail from Lindsay, Ontario Originally from Belleville, Corbyville to be exact. Grew up with the smell of corn mash. (yum), and surrounded by warehouses full of barrels of aging booze. (Now mostly gone, plant closed) :cry:
I now hunt deer just east of Denbiegh, near Vennachar Ontario.
Moose hunt near Minden Ontario.
What's really nice, is that Cell phones don't work at all in Vennachar, and only intermitently from the moose camp (climb a ridge). :grin:

Rick Teal · « **Reply #6 on:** December 06, 2002, 10:31:45 AM »

John Y:

I thought I might eventually see you here. I think we frequent a lot of the same sites.

I'll have to check a map to find Vennachar. I often go through Denbigh on my way to my sister's cottage near Minden (Devils Lake). Never saw much moose sign around there - hope it's better where you hunt.

You make our 4th for euchre, now if I can just figure out how to deal the cards with this computer thing. :lol:

Just nosing around & thought I'd better check in

Glad to see the Ottawa valley represented here. I cottage near Barrys Bay. I shoot mostly cast bullets at the Barrie anglers & hunters, hunt deer @ my brothers in Sask. & black bear @ the cottage & Mactier. My wife is the one who likes Red Green in our house, although I do use a lot of ductape eh.
I think on Jan. 1 03, we should all pretend to sell all of our guns to our relatives & then on Feb 1 03 pretend to buy them all back. I think the paperwork involved would fry those Ottawa computers. Anyway, glad to meet you all. Ron.D

Ron and Leo:

Welcome aboard!

It looks like we have a little representation from across the country now. Maybe we'll be able to get two euchre tables going after a bit. :twisted:

Damn, I was down there last weekend, but came down 62.

Nick Humphreys · « **Reply #16 on:** December 17, 2002, 12:35:16 PM »

Another BC boy, Vancouver Island, work in forestry research and mostly hunt deer. Hope to hear from someone from that other Island, the one on the East Coast, the one with all the moose.

xxclaro · « **Reply #17 on:** December 21, 2002, 07:29:30 PM »

One more Canuck checking in. I'm from Aylmer, Ontario. Just a little s@#t town, but its near London, which is maybe 1.5 hours from Toronto. We've got excellent deer populations down here (though you would't know it by my success rate). Anyhow, just thought I'd say hey.

upnorth · « **Reply #18 on:** December 31, 2002, 09:47:07 AM »

Rick Teal · « **Reply #19 on:** December 31, 2002, 05:51:28 PM »

Nick, XXclaro and Upnorth:

Glad to see you guys here! Pretty soon we'll have enough of us for a hockey game to break out. :twisted:

Bluenose · « **Reply #21 on:** January 11, 2003, 09:51:24 AM »

Hey Fellas,

Just surfing for hunting sites from North Bay and found this one. I like it so far. At the moment I moose and deer hunt between Whitney and Bancroft although I plan on moving my moose hunt more north....don't seem to be any tags left in the southern areas. I'm a transplanted maritimer that moved to southern ontario 20 years ago. Got tired of having to ask permission to go for a walk in the woods, so we came up to the near north...never looked back. Still make it down to Haldimand Norfolk for the spring turkey hunt though.

Butler, Bluenose, Northern Hunter:

Glad to see you guys on-line here. Pretty soon we can get a typical Canadian b*tchfest on gun control going here. :wink: I hope you guys stick around and join in.

Northern Hunter:

Is that Globco 555 on the Epps web site operational? It would be fun to hunt with a .303 auto (as long as it can be relied upon).

First let me start off by saying that i only just found this site and i think it is great!!
My name is travis and i am born and bred in newfoundland.

Great site.

Hiwallhunter · « **Reply #27 on:** February 12, 2003, 10:27:31 AM »

:roll: Tsk Tsk!!! all this talk about Red Green. He's truly a Canadian icon. I sometimes venture out in original signed Red Green suspenders [thank my wife]

Well add another Canuck to the list will ya. The place I live in you have to turn the map of Ontario over to get to. Thunder Bay is a great place! Heck we even get the odd errant moose visiting our city streets! Musta taken a wrong turn at the expressway! I hunt moose here primarily with my 45-70 High Walls. With modern powder and bullets you can reach out and touch bullwinkle real hard at 200 yards! This is a very interesting discussion group and one I might add that Allan Rock need not subscribe too!! NOT my favourite politician! By for now!

Welsome aboard guys!

I'm glad to see our numbers growing (however slowly). Maybe we'll be able to have a euchre tournament pretty soon. :twisted:

Hi all I just found the sight. I am layed up for a few days with my knee surgery so I have just been poking aroung. I live and hunt in southwestern Manitoba. My wife and I deer hunt with both Muzzleloaders and rifles. I also spend some time trying to keep the coyote population fron taking our chickens and turkeys. After a quick look I think I will be back lots.
