Learning to hunt starting small

[10x]

Well, I just can't let this one pass by......did you know that Alberta is rat free? We have border patrols that set baits and traps and inspect farms along the borders, and have so far kept them out. We have muskrats and packrats and lots and lots of gophers..... there is the odd rare Liberal that sneaks through, and one or two New Democ(rats) have been observed.... but we've managed to keep the little furry long-tailed variety out!

Alberta may be "rat free" but it isn't Liberal free.

with .22 you could start with something like Rabbit

Out here I use .22 for Grouse and that is about it. I would use it on rabbit if I ever saw one, but they are pretty rare to see on the island here.

thats about it I'd say.

If you want more variety I'd consider getting a 12 guage at least that way you can put in different shot depending on what you are hunting up to 00 and slugs for deer, etc.

rabbits EVERYWHERE at Uvic.... too bad you cant shoot there!

Thank you all for taking the time to reply, I appreciated it.


I will go check this place out as soon as I have time. Thanks again.

Go to Maptown in downtown Calgary and pick up a "county" or land owner map for the area. Crown land will be clearly marked, as will the owners of private land.
