Sounds like theres a catch. Whats up eh ?

…. I didn’t really see any catch in what’s been posted

Curious what makes Canadians less fortunate? Pretty fortunate today to tell the truth. Hoped on a Cessna 185 on floats. Flew to a lake in the mountains. Bucked up a 36 inch spruce that was impeding travel to the outhouse. Had lunch and flew home. 2 take offs and 2 landings makes me very fortunate. Lol

I left my house all day and didn’t worry about anyone harming me or my family. Pretty rough up here.

If you like the outdoors & freedom to get out there, the US is not the place to live, unless your rich. There’s a reason the provinces are changing the rules for foreign hunters. It’s a shame what US $ is trying to do up here. Manitoba is the first province to take steps in the right direction for Canadian hunters. Hard to believe considering the people at the top of our Wildlife Branch…….lol

Well i hope when Alberta achieves its independence that we'll take whats good here and take whats good there and apply it accordingly.

I feel same about yesterday and basically every day. I was able to talk to my son about his one day of fishing with his buddies in which they caught well in excess of 100 walleye up to 28" long and in excess of 100 pike up to 44" long. Then he went and had a no shot encounter on a black bear that would make the knees weak on literally 10's of thousands guys who pay thousands of dollars to have that chance every year. His cost.....friendship. I concede that the mosquitoes are bad right now but aside from that I'm betting day to day life here isn't worse than many places on earth. Now winter.....that's a different story. lol

I can read a thread on this forum right now about the woes of land leasing for hunting purposes. It does not make me feel less fortunate. lol

Amazing

Yep. Apart from the induans saying I stole their land life is pretty good. Get hungry a guy can go shoot a moose, deer or elk depending on the day from my kitchen window.

I’ve got lots of places to hunt, fish and trap and I’m not rich. Got no complaints.

You got me there trapdog.I got to travel at least 200 miles south to find any corn.

What does Manitoba do different ? We got hunter host program that allows me to take a non resident alien hunting for any OTC big game tag once every 2 years. I can take non resident hunting every year. As a landowner I can shoot as any black bear and cougar that trespasses and any wolf within 5 miles that looks like it might trespass. Haven't tested it out yet but sounds like we can deal with 2 legged trespassers accordingly if they're in our dwelling.
We've got the same drug and libtarded problems as anywhere

We have the occasional tree, too. Adds variety to the landscape.

If I got a bud with good land that can’t be bought, I’m set…….. awesome elk trips I’ll tell ya!…..lol.

We stopped the “sale” of private land to Americans that were basically outfitting up here. Saskatchewan is following suit. There’s been issues with “Canadian” outfitters in Saskatchewan and elsewhere that aren’t Canadian at all and burnt enough bridges for the province to look into it. The waterfowl hunting really exposed this problem. “If you don’t got $, you can’t hunt here.” It was getting hard for the average Joe to take his boy out to the neighbours pond to duck hunt, when an American gave him a blank check for the sole rights to hunt, then brings all his buds up for two months. That’s over with. Here in southeast Manitoba the blank checks didn’t work out so well. They ticked off one farmer, news travels fast and they’re all ticked.
American hunting is all about privatize and commercialization…….. in a lot of states but not all.
They can still do this in Alberta, but it’s far less convenient than Manitoba or Saskatchewan. I don’t wanna upset my friends in the other states by giving away their secrets……lol, but you Americans that are hard core hunters know where I’m talking about.

Thats not being very nice to the unfortunate shakey.

I hunted south of Thompson many years ago, no people, 1000s of ducks and 100s of sharptails. Can't imagine it's changed much.
