Hello all. Came across this site a few years ago and peeked in occasionally. After a bit of moving around I'm back in Calgary with a bit more time to enjoy. Hoping to pick up suggestions on outdoor activities to explore the province. Cheers

Hi All,

Just wanted to say hi before I get started. I did quite a bit of hunting and fishing with my dad until I was about 11 or so but haven't in the 24 years since so I'm essentially brand new to it all.

Just starting to take my own son (8) out fishing and camping and so far we're loving it! We live in Calgary and tend to stick in the Southern/Central Alberta area just due to travel time constraints.

Been lurking here for a few years, bought quite a few items from the Buy and Sell. As my name implies, I have been hunting sheep mostly in BC for close to 50 years now. Happy to be a member

Hey outdoorsmen! New guy here from Kamloops BC. Heard about the forum through the rookie hunter podcast. Interested in everything from moose, Elk and deer to salmon and trout. Happy to be here!

GrizzlyBeard · #5 08-05-2017, 12:12 PM

Hey everyone,

Edmonton born and raised. Always lived in the city and enjoyed camping when I could. I've recently got approved for my R/PAL (after 6 months and a stern phone call) and am eagerly awaiting it's arrival in the mail. I've always camped in designated camp sites and am looking to do some back country exploring and hunting.

It seems as though there are many knowelgable memebers on this forum. I'd be happy to get to know everyone and be grateful if anyone would take a new hunter under their wing.

See you in the forums ladies and gentlemen,

-GrizzlyBeard

AJB_winchester.lever.nut · #11 12-04-2017, 02:27 PM

Hello all. I am new here, and to forums, so... real newbie here. Northern Alberta boy, hunting and fishing all my life, and pack in the mountains on horseback. For fun. One day I will make it a hunting trip, but for now it's just the most work-intense holiday you could know.
Always been a lever gun guy. (If anybody knows anybody looking to give away an original Winchester 1886 in 45-70 I would give it a loving home in my saddle scabbard) but my eyes are getting worse, so I have been moving into the bolt action scoped rifle world.
Also recently acquired a brand new fishing boat! No more dragging one to the shore, packin the motor fuel tank and such.... back er in and go. Now pretty upset the water went stiff... anyway, i hope thats enough for now.

StraightRippin · #12 01-20-2018, 09:26 AM

Allow me to introduce myself, my name is Nowell, I'm a 25 year old avid waterfowl and predator hunter from Viscount Saskatchewan. I work as an Industrial Electrician around Western Canada.

Being raised on the farm I took a big interest in hunting right off the hop. My grandfather took me under his wing and showed me a few tricks of the trade. Ive always been into decoying animals wether it be ducks/ geese or predators it never seems to get old, I try and let my friends do the shooting, although it is fun to get a bit of trigger time myself.

I hope to meet a few people on this forum who are as passionate about the sport of hunting as I am. If anyone lives in the Saskatchewan area don't be afraid to message me, good hunting partners are tough to come by these days.

If you would like to know more, check out our youtube channel, here you can catch a glimpse of the waterfowl hunting we enjoy.
Regards,
Nowell

Hello everyone!

Would like to introduce myself and my newly wedded wife as of July 28th, 2018!
We have always been eager campers and rather spend our time in the bush than being anywhere in the city. We camp and quad a lot, and went out hunting for our first time last year with a few friends and were hooked!
We might be new but would love to listen to any input and advice.

Johnsonn2018 · #17 08-18-2018, 06:42 AM

Hi Everyone,

Been a lurker here for a while, really enjoy this forum. Have lived in Parkland County for close to 30 years, grew up in northern Alberta. Love fishing, snowmobiling, canoeing, anything outdoors. Bit of a self taught mechanic, love to fix things and anything auto related.

Hi everyone! It's great to be here and meeting you folks.

killborn · #26 10-22-2019, 08:48 AM

Hello to all,

Fairly new to Alberta, having moved to the Foothills (212) just a few months ago. Looking to improve my fishing and get into some hunting, though I am a newbie for sure. Have lots of field experience from my military time, but hunting itself is a new game for me.

I have a very small 3 acre piece of land in the Foothills MD and trying to figure out what my options are for bow hunting in the area or even on my property. I have Elk and White tail pass through daily. Also plenty coyotes.

Fairly new to Bow, so I need to improve these skills first. Also looking to expand my knowledge on hunting birds and other game in AB. I am probably too late for this season, but there might still be a chance.. Safety training done (Texas) and am working on my WIN etc.

Still a little confused about some of the rules as they relate to 212

BugsyTrad · #27 12-10-2019, 09:53 PM

I am new to Traditional archery and lived in Calgary for a yr and a half. Looking forward to learning and improving my archery skills and maybe collect a few bows along the way when my wife doesn't object . I am a former farmer and an entomologist and enjoy the outdoors and nature. Hopefully I will gain invaluable insights from this forum.

Bullet891 · #28 02-14-2020, 08:39 AM

Sort of new to hunting, used to hunt grouse when I was quite a bit younger.
Just starting to get back into it. Just finished up getting all the required documentation in order.
Going to head out this summer for a few scouting trips around the Calgary area, see if we can locate some potential spots.
If nothing else it is a good excuse to get out and explore our province, and enjoy time with friends and meet new ones.

Rx1hunter · #29 12-05-2019, 01:44 AM
