6 days of hunting, 53 hours (give or take) of stand/blind time.

Didnt even see one.

Hunt was out near Campbellford Ontario.

I dont even care that I didnt get one or see one. I dragged three out with the other guys, got drunk, drove ATV's through swamps, found a beagle cold and half dead and didnt have to listen to my old man/boss or my girlfriend complain for a week.

no running water, no electricity, re-read Green Hills of Africa, ate a deers heart 2 hours after it was killed (bbq).

I was truly in touch with my inner caveman.

Not bad for a city boy from d-town Toronto;)


Oh yeah and I was 15 feet from a 300lb wild boar!!!!!!!:eek:

Didnt have my gun cause apparently loaded guns in the dark in the woods arent safe according to liberals....too bad, would have been a nice trophy.


I will post more pics and the whole story at some point.

Weekdays are for making money to buy fast things to help you get laid!

1 week a year is for going up North and being a SAVAGE. Hopefully I can find ways to have more time for hunting and try some different animals in some different terrain. (mountains interest me....)

I dont think I have not had a shower for a week ever, it was awesome!!!

I know alot of you guys on here are from rural areas or grew up hunting or around it etc.

I am the exact opposite. I live in downtown Toronto, went to Upper Canada College, never really cottaged much, grew up around fast cars and boats etc. My dad is the owner of a large Toronto trucking company (still is- I am there too now the last 2 years- after university) and never hunted or even owned a gun or anything. My grandfather was a Ukrainian immigrant who didnt hunt either and lived in dtown TO as well, as did my mother's father.

Basically the point here is that for me, a true city guy with no real outdoor experience, this is a very different experience. When I was sitting in the tree stand or hiding against a tree in the swamp/bush cold and miserable it wasnt very fun. More like terrible work. But after the hunt you feel something that is very hard to explain. here goes.

Like a 10 year old kid again......:)

I think men have something inside of us that makes us want to hunt, and I think even the guys who dont think they would like it, if you take em into the bush and cut off the outside world and hunt hard and hunt like it is a job you activate that ancient desire inside of yourself.

I have never felt more energized than when we killed that first little doe (almost sounds silly); and to think before I went I thought I may not even be able to pull the trigger on something. I think for alot of people (including me) the idea of killing a large mammal and skinning it and stuff is just alot to get your head around. The idea that killing one would become a monumental accomplishment is also something that a person who has not hunted simply cannot understand.

[On a side note, to me hunting is not drinking all night to wake at noon and head to the bush for a couple hours in the afternoon and sip coffee and eat a muffin. It is serious business and deserves serious attention and dedication.]

When I got there and started to hunt, waking 1.5 hours before the light and walking through the forest or swamp as quietly as possible, searching for a beast something changed. I dont think it was mental either, I now truly believe there is something inside all men that makes us hunters; alot of us dont know it yet because we have subdued it over time. The hunt for wealth has taken over completely in alot of people (before this week I was one of those people). It is not sad; I would say it is actually natural given the way people have to live nowadays. What is sad is that alot of people will never experience what it is to hunt a big cagey beast; even more sad is how many people claim to be anti hunting, not realizing that hunting is one of the only things you can do that truly takes you back to ancient times. Sure there is better technology etc but the hunt is the hunt. That hasnt changed; it never will.

This I am sure of.
 
yah they were usually too busy learning to run the country to get enough sleep before practice;):nest:

But I mean what I said above, I feel like hunting was a great experience and I think I am going to be a lifer now.:cheers:
