Big Frank 25,

Thanks for the info. You ever waterfowl hunt in Canada??

[Canadian Hunter]

I see they cut 6 days off of our season, openned of the 22nd last year. They did up our goose limit in this district to 2 a day though. Didnt cut the number of cans or redheads I know at least 1 who will be over this year!!!

[Big Frank 25]

Shoveler,
Yes I have, a few years ago.

Did you freelance or go with a guide? Been thinking about going but would like to pick an area and freelance.

[Big Frank 25]

Freelanced. I don't think I could help you too much. Was back in the 80's, a few things have changed. Went downriver along the many islands. Tossed out some blocks and had our way with late season divers. Was a house blind built on a gravel bar that would hide my boat.
The regs changed to you had to hunt so many meters from this and that. The guy didn't build it again. Kept getting burnt down. I think with a good camo job on his boat a guy might do well! My youngest has expressed an interest in hunting big water. I might just hook him up!;) I really enjoy watching my boys roll some birds.:D

Thanks, in thinking about it I should start with the firearm laws of Canada. I have read a few posts about their laws but never checked into what is needed.

Just more filling of paper work and an added cost. I'm not sure if you don't go ashore. We'll have to check on all the regs.

And the countdown begins,,,,

Hunter, did you mean me? if so e-mail and I'll head over this week and knock out all the tags and such

is canada back on the third staurday opener again...

we need a meet and shoot at roundeau for the opener....

what do think..

it has been a long time since i hunted there, but it used to alot of fun..

[Canadian Hunter]

You know i meant you!!! I see my deer hunting area opens the 21st of sept. for waterfowl,, It would be worth the trip just to hunt the teal in the swamps and beaverponds on the property. And the lake will have huge numbers of divers in it. Ducks in the morning and antlers in the afternoon, sounds good to me!

If you guys want to find some local areas to hunt, I can help you out. I wont give you my honeyhole's, but I can point you in the right direction. Late season you pretty much have pick of the litter! Just have to watch for private property and hunt club stakes(they are a pain in the a**)

[Dead Bird]

does holiday beach still have hunts... it used to be a fun spot..

[Shoveler]

Canadian Hunter,

Can'nt ask for more than that. How about pointing to a site with information on how to bring my shotguns into Canada. I will be putting the search engines to work as well.


Dead Bird,

If you are talking about a group from this site count me in. What details need to be done?

Shoveler

[Big Frank 25]

Not sure of everything. I heard $50 a gun fee.

I used to hunt with a bunch of guys from the Teutonia (sp) Club in Windsor

It was a lottery system for the opener than a first come first serve after that.... we used to sleep in our cars to get a good draw the next day..

I'll look into the details... alot dirds... good time... I'll start getting details together...

If someone has a better suggestion I'm open to that... just want to start hunting across the creek again...

[Shoveler]

We have a plan (or at least started) let me know if you need help with anything.


Big Frank 25

Have you guys heard of this place? Havent been there in years, but friends have always had good hunts the last couple years. From what I remember you parked at one of the 60 stakes and that claims your area, no fee's. I believe there is even some flooded timber in there too hunt.

Firetiger..

Never hunted there ... checked out the website... sounds like the same set up as Roudeau...

It sounds like a good place.. do have any detailed info on the area..

I'm sure of one thing I don't want to be sitting at home and thinking about why I didn't even give it a shot..

I'm trying to get the details together for Roundeau... sounds like you have to go up the week before the opener for a drawing for the opener... at least you will know if you have a place to hunt..

[Firetiger]

I'am way in for a Canadian duck shoot, What do you think hunter, camp at the park? I'am thinking, puddle ducks in the morning and layout shoot the rest of the day,,Man, we could put a out a thousand dekes....I told you guys the countdown has begun, I'am going to touch up my dekes tomorrow,, dog needs work though,,,

[Shoveler]

Canadian Hunter,

Checked out the website, it sure looks good, so I don't care where we hunt. Ducks in the morning and ducks the rest of the day works for me.

Shoveler

[Firetiger]

hey dead bird and hunter do you want to hit the camp fire and Yak about a canadian duck hunt?

[Canadian Hunter]

Im there!

[Dead Bird]

guys,

I am leaving for vac for the next 10 days.... I can make myself available anytime after next week friday (July 5)... I tried to send you guys a PM with my number but I have no clue how to use the PM message thing.... If you guys can send me a PM I will reply and give you my phone numbers so we can start making the plans happen... sorry about the vacation timing... what ever you guys agree on count me in... only 2 months till we start shooting for real...

[Dead Bird]

I'm going to try to hang out on the campfire for awhile..

[Canadian Hunter]

Dead bird just click on the little symbol(bottom of theyre message) that says PM to whoever you want to send a message too. I'm leaving the 6th for a week to do some work at the deer camp., and actually take a vacation up there.LOL.

I was talking with Tiger earlier, Im open to anything, possibly even openning deer camp for the last weekend of sept to hunt fowl for a couple days. It would be a long trip, but everything is there, could hunt puddlers in the ponds and divers off the deck of the cottage(seriously), geese are everywhere. Also a good pop. of grouse on the property.
