Sunday hunting in SK

[kjohn]

Finally, finally, finally! I am going chicken hunting tomorrow on a Sunday for the first time in my 48 years or so of hunting. I like to walk the little trails and around the edges of nice wheat stubble fields, especially on a crisp sunny afternoon.

I'll take my faithful old Savage 24 22/20ga. I keep my shells for chicken hunting in a candy tin that I've been using for that express purpose for over 40 years now. I have some Imperial Long Rifle shells in there in the plastic box that let five shells out at a time. I also have some Canuck 20 ga shells that are getting old.

You'd never guess that I am a bit of a nostalgia buff.

I know what you mean. Sunday hunting is AWESOME !!!!!!

For me it essentially doubles my hunting season. Being a 9-5 MON-FRI worker all I had was Saturdays.

Going out today for geese/chicken. Sunday hunting is the best.

About bloody time!

I used to figure that the politicians were lobbied by the bar owners, to keep guys from going hunting on Sundays, so they would spend the time in the bar watching the game on TV instead.

Wonder what's gonna be next to go? Do you think SK will ever allow naked dancers to be in the same room as open beer? (Or has that changed?)

For them that don't know, SK allows strippers, but not if alcohol is present. Pretty much shuts down the peeler bar as a business opportunity.

Good luck hunting!

Cheers

Sask has come a ways in the last few years. Don't know about the peelers but I remember when you could not even carry your drink in a bar to another table. You had to get the waitress to move it for you even if it was to the table next to you.

Too many years of old woman socialist NDP rule.

Did any one else notice that when the Sask Party was voted in the province actually started to prosper.
I remember when Sask got their august or feb long weekend so one asked the premier "wont that cost employers alot of money?" To which he replied. "When has the government done anything that has not cost employers money?"
Hope the NDP never get back in Sask.

There is a pile of "old lady thinkers" in S'toon and in Regina there are too many trough gobbling gov workers. Never assume the NDP won't get back in. This province still has not seen the light. When things get a bit tough everybody starts sticking out there hand for the government to save them.

The Sask. party cleans up a mess gets things right then at the first sign of a downturn the NDP float back in and screw things up again .

Saskatchewan Political History 101.

Sad ain't it

I have lived, worked, and hunted in Sask. all my life, and, yes, I definitely noticed the difference when the Sask party came in. It was like a dark, heavy cloud passed out of existence. The NDP would have liked for everybody to live in Regina or Saskatoon, join a union, and line up for their daily/weekly/monthly/yearly edition of the socialist manifesto. Well, guess what? There were just too many independent thinkers that wouldn't knuckle under and we voted the ba$tard$ out!!!!!! Nothing worries a socialist like an independent thinker who doesn't need a government handout every month.

Hurrah for Sunday hunting!!!!!

Went for a walk this afternoon, on SUNDAY, with old faithful. Didn't see anything, but enjoyed the cool Fall weather, the smells of wet bush, and best of all, the freedom to carry a firearm down a little old road!

Two buddies and I shot three elk on the first Sunday ever of elk season in Saskatchewan. We were very, very pleased!!

Right on, Longwalker, right on!!!!! As someone earlier had posted, it doubles a lot of peoples' hunting time. Well, a good milestone for hunters. What the gun-haters and other grouches don't seem to understand is that a goodly portion of us just simply like to get out and roam around in the fresh air. Some people think a big "outing" is going to some trendy gym and handle everyone else's sweaty stuff. That's nice, go for it. My idea of an outing is to take a good old rifle or shotgun and stroll the fields and bushes, enjoy the fresh air, take in nature's bounty. I went out this afternoon and cut a bit of firewood for an old friend who is having grave breathing problems. Felt good to be in the fresh air and felt good to see the look on his face when I backed up to his house and opened the endgate on my old truck.
