Tazzy Use google earth and set the preferences to NAD 83 UTM. Go to "titusville" to get close (not the one in florida) and then look at the bottom of your screen and the corrdinates will be there, mouse around till they match the ones I gave

Sounds like you are not speaking from experience with that statement.

Please, explain to me what NB has to offer for hunting opportunity that Alberta doesn't.

Here is an example. These are the tags that will be in my pack this season:

-General elk
-General whitetail
-Two bighorn sheep tags(one ram, one ewe which was a draw tag)
-Mule deer buck tag(draw)
-If I decide to go up north this year, two more supplemental whitetail tags.
-Could have black bear but already shot one this year. Around here I can kill one on private land without a tag anyways.

I also could have had these but decided to wait(999):
-Antlered moose
-Trophy antelope

Now, please fill me in gtrussell. As we all know you are an expert at most things hunting and firearms related...

I can speak from experience that it is a step backwards as far as hunting goes. NB cannot compete with hunting opportunities (species) against AB. Also the number of game animals per species has no comparison.

There is no need to turn this thread into a fight about where the hunting is better. Alberta and BC clearly have far more opportunity and greater variety than most provinces, I was just asking about NB hunting in general.

Also not terribly smart to openly talk about breaking the Fish and Game laws on this forum.

I wasn't looking to start a fight. I made a statement directed at you about hunting opportunity, that's it. Then gtrussell has to chime in like he always does and he doesn't have a clue, like always...

Now, please explain to me what game laws would be broken? If you are talking about the bear statement you had better read the regs again. I have written permission, see below:

Black Bear and Coyote*
Any person who is (a) the owner or occupant of privately owned land, or (b) authorized to keep livestock on public land, or (c) a resident authorized by a person described in (a) or a resident authorized in writing by a person described in (b) may, without a licence, hunt (but not trap) black bear or coyote on such lands, at all times of the year.

Fair enough on the private land no license thing for black bear.

Does that mean you can shoot them on sight 12 months of the year?

On my land and on the land I have permission to do so on, yes. See below:

I wish you the best of luck in NB Martin! I am sure you will find some good hunting and make the best of what NB has to offer. Sounds like some of the above posters know some pretty good spots :cool:
 
If you hunt for the experience of it, not for food, NB will do just fine. Thick woods and smart bucks. When I first moved to NB, having been use to hunting caribou in Newfoundland, I took my hunting knife to a skate sharpener who also did knives. I said " Gotta get it sharp to cut up the buck". He, a black gentleman, said " First you gotta get the buck". I don't go in for baiting (got nothing against people who do, just personal choice), I just stalk. No, I'm not breaking any records for buck trophies.

woodcock? (maybe alberta has em? )

IMHO they are one of the best kept secrets in NB. no locals bother with em but rich guys travel from all over for em. fast fun and oh so tastey. Do not dismiss the diminutive size they are so rich that it does not take much to make a meal.

Aside from that the only thing I can think of is a plethroa of pretty women without alberta attitudes and spending habits. LOL (no disrepect intened to the minority)

I saw woodcock when I lived in Deep River Ontario, they pretty much ignore them there too.

As for the woman thing, I will be bring two(wife and 19 year old daughter that I think are both pretty) with me who's spending habits probably won't change but have pretty good attitudes as it is:cool::cool::cool:
