Alberta hunters wild last day
- Thread starter tbdtp
- Start date
I believe (and have said i before) this is a direct result of the "once a year" hunters hitting the bush. They have been confined to the city and havent seen a deer or handled a firearm in 358 days. Result is usually at best a bad decision and a wounded deer.................at worst.........
These guys who shoot at whatever moves (NEED TO SPEND TIME IN JAIL) examples should be made of them.
1. know what your target is (and what is beyond it)
2.never point a firearm at something you do not intend to shoot
This last weekend of hunting season a friend was working out in a field in a bright blue tractor and had a bullet strike the tractor.
There is only one cure for stupidity and it is not blaze orange.

It was bound to happen. My buddy and I went out for the last day hunt around Sylvan, Eckville and Markerville. Started out bad as we pulled in to our favorite 90 acre parcel that the owner has posted signs reading "No access with out permision" right at sun up only to find fresh truck tracks in and out and an unfrozen gut pile at the edge of the one bush line. It was definitely fresh, but seeing how they were in, shot, dressed and out before we got in there they would have had been shooting in the dark. I called the land owner to see if he happened to be in there and he said we were the only ones aside from his family that had permission and they all filled there tags earlier and at camp.
Another friend of mine told me he was heading into take a look around his own quarter when a pick up with four guys came around the trail in, almost hit his truck then kept driving. No idea who it was and they just took off like a bat out of Hell.
These are all good folks who would not likely turn anyone down for access if they ask, but get a bit annoyed when they just don't care.
We seen so many we called it early and were home before the white out. Lots of idiots, but undoubtedly lots of decent guys as well.

Global News said the clown who killed his friend was also charged with Possessing a Firearm While Being Prohibited from Possessing a Firearm.
HE NEVER SHOULD HAVE HAD THE GUN.
This is a Criminal Act.
A Hunting Accident is when you crap your pants while you are hunting.

And you wonder why all the land gets posted Twenty years ago you never saw a NO HUNTING sign. I guess there is just to many wanna be hunter F***Kheads out there.
How about you have to serve a five year apprenticeship hunting with a bow before they let you out there with a rifle. Hell I hunted for years as a kid under the watchful eye of my dad and uncle. They made sure I learned self control and safety or I got a smack upside the head.
This is why I seldom hunt in rifle season and never on busy days or anywhere near other hunters even if I have to go to crappy locations with few deer.

Haven't seen that one. I was hoping the limited range of the weapon might offer some protection. I guess I was wrong. The only thing I have left is that I'm willing to walk a long way away from roads where these drunken road warriors operate.
Hopefully there is a correlation between a mans willingness to get off his a** and walk to go hunting and his intelligence in terms of being a good and safe hunter. If not I'm out of options
Years ago I read a story about a bowhunter in a tree stand being shot and killed by another 'bowhunter' on the ground. They figured it was an extremist anti trying to make hunters look dangerous.

Somebody gets shot by his buddy every year out here. F$^ktards.

There were a lot more hunters this year than in the past. The road by our place (central Alberta) was like the QE II throughout all of November. All road warriors of course. You even see them driving by slowly with the lights out a 1/2 hour after the season ended for the night. I ended up posting our land about 20 years ago. The idiots would drive right through the yard to get to the creek valley. They even shot deer that were 50 ft from our house that were in the same pasture as my horses. A neighbor had his pinto horse shot by hunters a few years back. You can't even go for a walk for fear of being shot. I'm always glad when it's over. No, I don't hunt.

I was hunting from a ground blind this year & I noticed a heck of alot of road hunters out there this year. Next year I want to be deeper in the bush, and in a treestand for sure.
At this rate, Northern Alberta is soon going to be as uncomfortably crowded, as the Ottawa Valley is during thier hunting season.

This is most likely the problem....

As stated above....
Be SURE or your target and beyond is #1 rule of thumb when hunting.
Shooting a house is down right stoopid...
Blaze orange vest should be required....and IF I ever hunted in Alberta I would still wear something that stood out.
Members of the Deer family do NOT see color therefore no reason not to wear at least blaze orange vest in big game hunting season?
Blaze orange shouldn't be required, a BRAIN for all the stupid hunters who don't follow the most basic of firearms rules SHOULD BE REQUIRED! Unless everything in the world other than the woods are painted blaze orange,idiots will still shoot at what they shouldn't. Blaze orange is not and never will be a substitute for a brain!
