Hunter shot and killed near Otter Lake Quebec

[senior]

I would love to see them. I'm sure there are some around here, but I rarely hear of them, despite this area beening shoulder to shoulder hunters in the fall.

Your area of "shoulder to shoulder" would probably make up for 1/50th of the same density as here in S Ont & S Quebec!

Ever look at a map

but I have NEVER heard of anyone "then I let him have it." with-out identifing the target.

yes 3 shots at an (identified) deer throu a slash but if NOT if you don't have a Doe tag (party hunting) in camp!

No-one in our camp would do or say those things nor would anyone in any camp I know of

I'm not saying its you or me or anyone we even know, but you cant deny those types of guys are out there and probably far more than we would care to know about.

Who hasnt sat in there stand opening morning and listed to dozens of guys all around them rattle off 4 or 5 shots at every deer they see. Do you think by the 5th shot they are considering the backstop if they miss.

I think you'll find that certain type of guy no matter where in the world you are

It seems that often when we read about these types of incidents, the shooter was "an expperienced hunter" or was very "bush-wise"
I remember a few years back a group up in Grande Prairie was hunting and two of them were shot off their quad by one of their hunting partners(a relative?)
And the "experienced hunter" statement was used.
Froom what I read he shot at them (who were wearig red) through
ONE HUNDRED YARDS OF BUSH!!
How do you see clearly throough that much crap that far away??!!

This always enforces why I am very leary of hunting if I know others are in the area ......

The "Experienced Hunter", with all of 100 days hunting experience during those 27 years.

"I think you'll find that certain type of guy no matter where in the world you are"

Right, every year we seem to put another couple of people on the list of guys we will never hunt with again.The trick is to put them on the list without hunting with them first.

I fear this thread will become a wizzing contest. I've hunted purdy much every where. And yes theres NEVER an excuse for an accident of any nature the hunting in the west is totally different than the thick of quebec. West is more like the plains of africa. As for many accidents here in the east the reason is the same as the reason we wear blaze to begin with. Here you dont snipe an animal that you've had a chance to watch for God knows how long like the west and africa. Instead you reflex shoot at something that jumps out of a swamp in stuff so thick its like jungle.. Probably 80+% of the hunters in quebec and northern ontario are using 35 cal or bigger. In the west its the long shootin flat fliers. We have to plow through whatever the animal is behind in a snap situation....Example,When shows like canada in the rough are filmed just watch how many are done with whitetail in the thick. Their typically shows on western animals.or sheep,etc etc. It would make for a boring show if the guy never had time to talk to the camera. You only saw him walk through the bush,then all of a sudden a tangle of fur took off out from under him and he blasted. How many in the west can say they walk through total and utter s**t for 2 weeks to see one deer? and not cause we dont have em ,its just that their numbers are lower than yours and we dont get to spot heards in different places and select after minutes yes sometimes hours..In another post here someone complained as to the lack of trophy whitetail in some parts of the west. When your in an environment where you can sit on a hilltop and select hunt.....No I'm goin to say it,select shoot, the trophies out you create a trophyless herd...Anyway back on topic. Never a reason to take a human life,but until you've been immersed in both worlds I wouldnt comment if it were me. 100% sure,100% this 100% that in the quote above. Sounds like a lot of time to think.The same amount of time I've seen while in the west,the same amount of time we have also called the C**N**D hunt here so many times..

Where in the west are you talking about? 3/4 of Alberta is covered in thick bush just like in the east, 1/4 is prarie or grass land, and yes I have been out east as well. Saskatchewan is very much the same, not nearly as much prarie as most people think.

Also, where are these trophyless herds you talk about? Considering most of the biggest bucks in Canada get taken in Alberta and Saskatchewan every year, your statement doesnt make allot of sense. Most people dream of deer hunting(either mulies or whitetails) in the west.

How many in the west can say they walk through total and utter s**t for 2 weeks to see one deer?

I have, as I am sure most of the northern Alberta and Saskatchewan hunters can say they have as well. But I usually see allot more deer than one, as well as many other species of animals.

Ever been hunting in BC? They have a few trees there as well

Sask is covered in just about 3/4 thick bush as well, shown below.

The west is much different than you explain above, sounds like we need to get you out here hunting more often.
