I bet everyone went for the fish and wildlife program........then once they got you in they tell you there is no jobs in it and pick something else....lol. Then they sell you on drilling and blasting...100% job placement rate....yeah because nobody wants to do it lol. But it was a fun school I can admit. I remember missing an exam once because we got into some good grouse numbers lol. Told the teacher our car broke down. We still had our hunting gear on hahahah.

It was funny when I went. The school was divided....1/2hunters 1/2 tree huggers. My buddy brought a deer head in one day for a project and almost started a riot lol.

This is off-topic a little, but, maybe worth mentioning. Are you staying in residence and if so, what's the school's policy re: firearms? I have a hunch I might know what it might be.
You probably have other living arrangements to be considering brining a firearm, a safe/secure/legal way to store it, etc.

There is enough work for every graduate of F&W provided you are willing to move. Same goes for Drilling and Blasting. The oil sands are looking for both.

I graduated in '04 from EnviroTech before going to Trent in ptbo. That region is excellent for small game and bird hunting, and being in school there was no shortage of time to scout and hunt. I would contact the conservation authority and ask them if they have any land parcels where hunting is allowed.
