Ottawa Area Mentoring, Small Game, Deer and Ducks

[line052]

Hi All,

For those in the Ottawa area and further out, I am will to host new hunters for weekend hunting. I had no one to mentor me and I made a lot of mistakes and wasted many opportunities to take game. To that end, I go out every weekend (mostly-unless wife put foot down) until Dec for all game listed in subject line.

I hunt on crown (public) land and know many spots for hunting all game. I stay Fri-Sun so if you only have time for a morning hunt or a evening hunt, by all means join me.

Thru trial and error and reading I have learned how to spot signs of animals, what to look for and how to move when hunting. As a former soldier, I am very safe and stress safety right off the bat.

I have all the gear needed for all types of hunting and can expose you to it and how I do hunts. I am by no means an "expert" but have learned valuable lessons to pass on.

Ducks/Geese
Deer
Rabbits/grouse/Crow/other small game
Coyote
Wild Edibles mushrooms/herbs/berries

Since I am in location and camp all weekend, I have all that is needed to camp out at night, cook, clean, process game. IF you are to stay over at night, I have two tents to use and you would be welcome share and use my camping gear. Not having this gear, should not take from your experience of wanting to try.

You would need to have your own guns, ammo, licenses, food and water if staying.

All the lands and locations I hunt are accessible by car. I am not a business, just someone who wants to give back. The coffee is always on and I welcome anyone.

Just wanted to bump this for any new hunters like myself. I went out with line052 and a couple other guys at his main camp area yesterday and it was a great experience. I don't have my PAL yet, but they brought me along and showed me the areas where they hunt and gave me some good insight and info on the local scene. Looking forward to more of this.

Highly recommended.

FYI: I got in there with my civic. It's doable, just need to go a bit slower....but now I'm wishing I got a truck :P

We need more people like you. I wish I had a mentor when I started out.

I can attest to Mark's hospitality and willingness to accept and mentor new hunters. My friend and I joined Mark and Johnathan this morning for a duck hunt and we had a great time. Mark gave us his tin boat and made sure we were set up in a great spot. He was even kind enough to miss several ducks which led to me(or John) getting this beautiful black duck. For anyone who is looking for a great time, dont hesitate to contact Mark. He is a great guy all around. IMG_4777.jpg

HA...HA...HA...HAAAA. But that is what it is all about. Good times, shared experiences, constant ribbing, jokes, coffee and just simply enjoying the hunting experience. I am so happy to help out, like others have said, I had no one to help once in the field. Lots of great advice online, but it was different to be in the field.

Hey anfield...too bad I missed your visit. Marc was confusing me with you a couple of times. With both of us there, it probably would have cause a break in time and space for the poor guy. Lol
