Looking at possibly doing a brunch type ordeal around Sat Jan 28th in the Cambridge, Kitchener or Guelph area. Looking to see who is interested and we can set it in stone then.
This is a good opportunity to meet new and experienced hunters alike. Myself I normally offer up a few free duck hunts to new hunters on the forum each fall.
Anyway, lets see how much interest we have and go from there:)
Scott
If I am able to I will be there.
Just keep us all informed.
Everyone let me know where your coming from and we can set a central location based off that

There are a bunch of us here in Eastern Ont that do a 'meet and greet' breakfast a couple times of the year. They are very successful, nice to put a face to the forum monikers. Lots of real life friendships have developed.
Hope your initiative pans out for your area skeeter.
I should be able to make it, it would be kind of cool to meet up with a few members, will follow this thread and see how it pans out.
I would be interested in that.
Interested .
Glen
Definitely interested. I'll put it in my calendar.
Coming from south end of Kitchener - close enough to Cambridge to throw a stone at it. :)
OK so Cambridge it is, which is easier Sat or Sun morning??
I'd like to attend I'd be coming from Toronto!
If it's morning, I'm OK either way.Quote:

There is a place on the corner of Dundas and Franklin (S.E corner about 100 yds down from Dundas st)... The restaurant is Tony's Family Diner. Not fancy but a good place for a breakfast meet. I have had breakfast there many times so know the food is good.Quote:

There's a place called Galt View right across from the hospital, it's decent and has a back room we could potentially have to ourselves for a breakfast.
Ive been to the Galt View a few times. Good breaky. What date are you guys talking?
So let's say Sunday the 29th at nine am. I will call Galtview this week and see about back room. I will post response.

Hey Skeeter, Looking forward to it. It will be a Saturday at 9am right? not Sunday?
Cheers!!!
Ok I just read the comments from before. Sunday it is haha
Definitely Sunday at 09:00, I will be there for a while for those who are coming a little later :)
Awesome. Looking forward to it!!!
I should be there too....
I'm still in.. if ya's will have me!

I just look at the place, and it seems you can only enter or exit the parking lot if you are north bound on Coranation Blvd. There is a pay to park or private parking lot on both the north and south side of the diners parking lot.
So just to confirm, as there is a lot of talk about the other events (scout camps, archery shoot), the plain old "meet and greet" is January 26 at the Galtview restaurant at about 9? And are folks still looking to swap/trade? I have some decoys, brass, a new Columbia vest and a dog crate I would bring if people are doing that. If not, I will just bring an appetite. Thanks.
I will definitely be there.
Ill be there and Ill bring any trade or swapables as well.
No it is Sunday Jan 29th at 9:00am.Quote:

See you all Sunday.
Sorry, had the right day in mind, but had my day planner (yes, I know a paper planner is old school) on February. So this Sunday. Hoping to make it. Ken T.
Hey, I use one too :)Quote:

Cheers guys. Looking forward to the meet
Just confirming.... going to do a quick coyote hunt and then see you guys there, Galt View restaurant, 693 Coronation Blvd.... 9am tomorrow morning... :)
As far as possible trades and people bringing stuff for sale goes, I'm in the market for a crossbow scope. Nothing fancy just something to get me started
Cheers by's

THANKS Scott AKA skeeter1

Yeah thanks Scott, nice meeting those who I did. Will have to do it again eh maybe a recreational shoot somewhere and a pub after to switch it up a bit?

Thanks Skeeter1 that was great to meet some other members for sure I'm in for next meet!
Great get together..... Some trap shooting at the next should be fun....I had a good time...And hope to make the next one.
Looking forward to may as well, as G Skinner has got my stoked about bow fishing on Erie.
Yes thanks Scott (Skeeter1), it was great, too bad I had to leave so early as I was really enjoying my time there...
Nice to meet everyone, lets do it again soon.
That was cool. Good breakie too. Thanks Scott for getting a great gang together. It was fun meeting others from here and Fratri I missed you by a few minutes. Another meet is in order for sure.
I'd like to have been there, spirit was willing, but the body was not.
Thanks to Scott for putting this together. Nice to have breakfast with the guys, a couple of hours flew by and I learned a lot more than I expected to. Unfortunately I did not get to talk to everyone. We should really do this more often.
Crap, I forgot all about this. Would have been there. Next time.
Thanks all for coming out, we will definitely plan some more events. Pot luck wild game dinner and bbq maybe :)
Scott
Yup was not fun getting "Kicked out". Seems we just got there and they are showing us the door..:rolleyes:Quote:

So bummed out I had to miss this one. Glad you guys had fun!!!
Thanks again Skeeter, was great to meet everyone and put faces to screen names.
It is a shame I missed this. Is anything planned for east of Toronto? Oshawa, Ajax, Pickering, Coburg?

I am in for a meet in the eastern gta. I bet some on here would like to meet me in person, face to face. LOL.
Funny you should mention "face"...:joker:Quote:

I would. Contrary to how it would appear, I value your views. Always good to have someone with a completely opposite ideology from your own. Keeps one on their toes.Quote:
