The folks kitty-corner across the street here in Vancouver left Thursday after 18 years. The family had lived in the QCI for years before coming to town and had lived on deer meat up there and the neighbour and me told hunting yarns and we went hunting together a few times. Had some interesting guns too. I have them in temporary custody until he buys a new house.

New family moved in Saturday. I had a glance at the back window of the new neighbour's Toyota Tacoma (I have one too) and there are BCWF and Browning stickers on the back window. I can't wait to introduce myself. Another hunter.

Go figure. I know it is popular for folks beyond Hope to imagine that everyone in Vancouver is a bunny hugging, Birkenstock wearing latte-sucking bunny hugger but there are two hunting guys on this block.

You should mate and create more...(just joking)...I am always on the lookout as well. A block and a half away is a truck with browning stickers on it. Always keep my eye out for the owner. Doesn't hurt to make friends with like-minded folks.
 
That is good news MD, We had new neighbors move in kitty corner 2 years ago. The previous ones didn't really fit in even though her brother lived next door.
When I saw the flat deck with a few sets of antlers on it, I was thinking awesome. He is a died in the wool hunter and we get along great. We have gone duck and goose hunting several times and deer hunting also.
Hopefully your new neighbor works out just as well for you.
 
There are more of us here in Vancouver than some may think, just because we live in the lions den of granola munching, yoga mat toting, soy latte sipping neo-hippies doesn't mean we aren't around. Just harder to spot.

I identify as "urban redneck" and proud of it lol
 
Hahahaha
A situation close to my heart...bought my first .22 rifle a Cooley repeater, tube fed from Woodward’s in Oakridge Mall, 41st and Cambie. I grew up around 49th and Cambie. We would catch the Cambie 15 to Georgia and Granville with our cased rifles then transfer to East Hastings and then on to a PoCo bus I cannot remember. Don’t get old :eek: Burke Mountain Range?. Is that it? Well we never got stopped by any LEO folks with cased guns on B.C. Hydro Transit. Back in the mid 70’s we did,not have FAC or PAL rules at all. I believe I just showed my drivers license at the gun counter at Woodward’s.

Hey Marlin JM stamped 336 guns sold for $109.00 back then....

My bus fare was 15 cents with my Sir Winston Churchill HS student card....hahahahaha. :evil:

Good times... and that was a ONE way trip ahahaha

Sorry for the hijack but yes in South Hongcouver there were pick up trucks with campers adorned with Remington and Winchester stickers around the Marpole area!

Cheers, Barney

:wave:

Sounds like my dad. He, my uncle, and their friend next door (see how I tied that in to the thread topic) would ride their bikes, one hand on the handle bars, the other holding their 22s. Ride a couple miles to Sears, walk in the store with their guns (had to leave the bike outside but guns were fine) buy some ammo, then ride to some treed lot in the middle of the city, shoot until they ran out of ammo, drink a coke, and ride home.
 
I can remember shooting a .22lr for the first time in my backyard in the 80s, right in the middle of Vancouver.

It was illegal but my dad didn't give a sh!t lol. Mind you Vancouver was a lot different back then, oh the memories. I weep for what this city has become :(
 
Where im from browning car stickers arw common. Likely half dont have a clue what the symbol represents.
Civic driving skinny jean wearing man buns rocking browning stickers and sweaters
 
Yeah... Browning stickers in southern Ontario are like tramp stamps, earings and nose rings ... everybody's got one.... 'cept me...
 
You are lucky OP. We have farm status and decent sized place and have had the cops called on us for shooting 22LR in the back (neighbour across the tracks) and neighbour to the North shouting at me through the bush when we were butchering pigs. Doesn't stop me particularly - just cant let off a ton of rounds. Evil 22lr, evil. Hunting buds are not near my place.

P.S. 22 Mag for the pigs :)
