Flintlock Season

Well we had a good and interesting deer rifle season - hunted with a son and two grandsons - got 5 doe and the one grandson hit a buck but we couldn't find it - now one of the kids want to go hunting with a flintlock - that's what he wants for Christmas - the flintlock season runs from December 26 to January 20 - you can get a buck and doe depending how many doe licenses you have - usually there is snow on the ground at that time of the year and it makes a hunt pretty neat - archery season also extends from 12/26 to 1/20 - just hope that CWD doesn't move into our area - would really ruin the hunting -

Flintlock hunting is a lot of fun. Good luck

Wow how many deer tags are you allowed over there.

I had 3 doe licenses and a buck license - if a guy wants he can get 6 doe licenses and a buck license- there are places where there are too many deer - farmers are given permission to shoot them because of crop damage - lot of meat in the freezer -

I would like to see a youth season in Canada which extends past (or before) the general season(s). Short seasons create a larger volume of hunters in the woods increasing the possibility of hunter conflict.

Always had mixed feels about youth seasons. Ya on one hand seems like a good thing to encourage new hunters but on the other in a sense may give an unfair advantage which hunting rules and regulation endeavor to put hunters on an even footing.

Well the grandson got his wish for Christmas - he got a flintlock rifle and all the things that go with one - I never paid much attention to these things but when I learned that the grandson wanted one I viewed a lot of videos showing how they work and many videos made by guys hunting in the snow with them - my son - grandson and I went in the woods to try this thing out - pretty neat the way it works - we took a lot of shots with the thing aiming at a target - after watching the hunting videos I kinda came to a conclusion that - people are going to get frustrated when you aim at a big buck and the thing doesn't do off - it is not that accurate compared to a scoped rifle - a lot of deer are going to get wounded and not found because the ball isn't going to have the impact that a rifle bullet has - I can see where it is a lot of fun hunting with one - the season begins tomorrow and lasts to January 20 - we will see what happens - the hunting fraternity sure has it's range - some guys hunt with these old time guns while where are others pushing for AR15 type guns for deer hunting - so glad that I live in the US. instead of Canada - we have our 2nd amendment and the right to have guns where you guys are loosing this right more and more every day -

We do not have a second amendment therefore we are not losing this right every day as we did not have it in the first place.

I guess time will tell if you will be so grateful to have this right, for instance when another civil war might erupt in America. It seems some folks are still not happy about the results of the first one and want a replay.

Some where along the way in the upcoming future with you newly elected leader The Donald wanting to invade Greenland, Panama and Canada all at the same time, you might actually need your guns.

I keep reading about the Canadian government keeps adding more and more guns to the restricted list - pretty soon all you can have is a BB gun - when that happens I hope you don't shoot your eye out -

Joe,


We pretty much all have all our regular hunting rifles up here, semi auto, bolt action, lever you name it. We have very restricted access to handguns and this has been in place for many years.

What the Liberal Government has attempted to do is take out of the hands of civilians, assault style rifles which can fire multiple rounds and fully automatic firearms.

So you would be very familiar with them as they are the type of guns used in Mass School Shootings that you see on an almost daily basis in the USA.

They are also the type of guns going down THE IRON RIVER to Mexico, sold by your manufacturers that are used by the drug gangs and are responsible for mass murders.

ITS BASICALLY THAT SIMPLE.

Coming on here and talking about pellet guns is all we are going to have is wrong.

Even in Australia where they had a few mass shootings and then restrictions, you can still get any hunting style gun you need.

I know there are WEEKEND WARRIORS and so called Sports Shooters in both the USA and Canada that would like to blast away at paper targets and have fun, I know a few people like this,
but Governments have to act for the entire population of a country and what makes people feel insecure.

We have had whole elections up here where the Liberals won the election because they said they would take steps to prevent civilians having access to these guns and won the election on that.

We have had Conservative Governments that won elections going the opposite way, just Like democrats and Republicans.
