The most "Anti-Hunting" Province??

Actually all the rivers that flow into the Great lakes flow east to the Atlantic, look at a map for Lake Superior

Check out the sign on the side of the highway that marks the western boundary of the Atlantic Water Shed, all of the land east of that points drains into the Atlantic Ocean, whether there are large intermittent lakes or not, just as all lands west of that point, to the eastern edge of the Pacific Water Shed, drain toward the Arctic Ocean, despite hundreds of thousands of intermittent lakes.

I live not too far from the watershed. There is a pullout at that sign, everytime I pass by there I stop and take a leak to see which way it flows. My findings support Boomer.

I own two hunting properties and I don't feel the need to high fence either one of them.... The game there is plentiful, and I choose to support hunting by bringing new hunters out on my property, and believe it or not, I don't charge them a dime......

...and they appreciate it very much. :)

Obviously you were from southern Ontario, which is a totally different place than the other 80% of Ontario.

I wish Southern Ontario, that's is, everything south of Sudbury, would separate from Canada.

No, damn it, the cutoff line is Orillia. Dont leave me with those other people. We can support ourselves by charging an entrance fee to the rich people going to their Muskoka cottages.

If a person living in Ontario is closer to Calgary then Toronto, what half of the country are they in?

The good part..... Takes me less travelling to hit the BC border than it does to get to Toronto. I do wish everything from Thunder Bay west could separate from Ontario.
 
I live in BC.

BC is the only western province all the rest are just wannabe's...

I don't need to own hunting properties or fence animals in because most of BC is remote wilderness that is readily/legally accessible to everyone.

We also have more game animals and more liberal hunting seasons than anywhere else in the country.
 
I've been a member of a major gun range east of Toronto for about 25 years. It now has over 1000 members about 1/2 of whom are hunters of one kind or another. The only ones I've met who are looking for a place to hunt are those who are relatively new to the game and have no friends outside the Big City. They need to make some friends by not showing up at the range with firearms that look like they want to start a war! There is lots of room in Ontario for hunters if they are willing to inquire and travel to the Central and Northern regions, north-east or North West Ontario.

Stop complaining! We have a wonderful heritage in most parts of Canada for hunting and fishing purposes. Ontario has the largest wilderness in all of Canada except, perhaps, for the Far North. We have over 100, 000 black bears and around 10,000 wolves. No, those aren't deer but I prefer hunting them than deer anyway. Moose hunting is, and has been, an area of concern for hunters and the MNR for a long time. Stopping the Spring bear hunt has helped decimate the moose population as the increase of bear numbers has exploded. Much more could be said, but there is still a healthy deer presence on private and Crown Land, along with coyote, wolf, fox and other fur creatures for trappers, etc. Ontario has many thousands of lakes that are in wilderness areas that supports an ecosystem for a variety of wildlife and fish.

So, be happy with this abundance. There are more opportunities for hunting than most of us could exploit within several years. I always have a small game license in my pocket for anything I may come across in my wanderings while toting a .22LR, big-game rifle or 12ga. for hunting anything in season with a current tag. That includes pests like skunk, groundhogs and crows, as well as edible small game like rabbit, grouse and turkey. And I've only hunted a very small portion (or parts) of Ontario.

Some people may be happy simply out on the water catching anything. Those people are called boaters. Likewise some hunters may be happy even when they shoot nothing. Those people are called hikers or wildlife viewers. But deep down inside what separates us hunters and fishermen from everyone else is that we expect to bave something to show for the time we put in, whether that be a catch or a kill

Don't know if we expect it, it is always our intent, but that is different than expectations.

Is a man that shoots fish in a barrel a fisherman, a shooter, or a hunter?
 
I have come to the abrupt conclusion that we are feeding a troll...... This is not a hunter, nor is it someone that is interested in hunting........ If you don't have any a challenge or to put in effort, you may as well buy your meat and shoot paper IMOP.....
 
If someone defines "hunting" as only the harvesting of game, they have no idea what hunting really is. It's that simple.

If you feel you have to "show" others your bone or meat to prove your worth, you missed the point of what we all do, completely.

Stop watching TV shows where they always get a massive "insert game species here" at retarded distances. It isn't a realistic viewpoint of what really happens.

If you want to hit game farms, go south of the border and shoot "fish in a barrel". Then bring your trophy home and brag about your "hunting" experience and prowess to people that don't know any better.
 
I don't like the fact that the original elk population was all but wiped out in Ontario. I like the fact that elk were re-introduced into Ontario and are making a come back. My great grandfather talked about hunting elk in the late 1800's and early 1900's on the north shore of lake huron. He saw the elk disappear in his life-time... He told stories about how his brother and him used to push them up the rocky hills and get them at the top... I talked to MNR about the elk and they said they monitored them by helicopter... I asked him where they most often found them..? He said on the tops of the rocky hills... So what I garnered from their observations was that the animals adopted the same strategies for survival that they had over 100 years ago when they ranged the area. Hunting is for food - if you hunt for horns one will often find the meat tougher then the average sized animal. , But each to their own. I hunt alone sometimes, and I hunt with friends and relatives. We do what we do because we eat what we shoot. And we share with those who need some meat.
