Newbie to this forum. Figured I should start my research on Hunting BC. Should be making a move in the next 2-4 years to your province. Lots of info and helpful members it seems like.

Looking at Kootenay area for the future. Anything can change. Avid retriever trainer, hardcore waterfowler, and a touch of big game & fishing.

Hello, another new guy for ya.

This will be my second season hunting coming up. Hopefully I can learn something from this site before I have to learn the hard way.

Chris

[Steeleco]

Welcome Chris, I told you you'd like the place. lots to learn, no time for CGN now!!!

[Caveman]

Welcome aboard Chris, enjoy.

[Mr. Dean]

I thought that we weren't accepting walk-in's any longer and that every one was now going to be filling out an application that would be passed around to existing members for their approval.

We GOTTA get this cleared up... We can't turn him back now... didn't you guy's get the memo?

If we keep letting them in willy-nilly, pretty soon I'm gonna loose track of threads/posts.







I bet that this one even knows how to type! Good grief.

[Chris76239]

Damn your right, My wife is gonna be pissed; between the gun collection and all the time in front of the PC. Ahh she'll have plenty of time to use the computer come September :biggrin:.

[knighthunter]

New member here, having just regestered. I been hunting for about 30 years. moose and deer are my favorite animals to hunt. I have never hunted muley's or goats.Shot an elk once, but the meat never impressed me. I am as my name implies.

[Drachen Jager]

Hi everybody,

I've been hanging around for a week or so and I've enjoyed your thoughts (especially ruger#1's essay). Due to timing and monetary constraints I won't be joining the hunt this year but if my life works even approximately close to plan I'll be one of the first in the bushes next fall for my first season as a hunter. I'm hoping I'll be able to find someone to mentor me on some of the finer points when the time comes.

Thanks everybody for sharing your knowledge here and I hope everyone has a great season!

[Marc]

[cxvalleyman]

Hi everyone , I am new here, just want to say hi to everyone, I lived in Courtenay on Vancouver Island. I love Hunting and Fishing.

[blackdog]

Hi everyone,
This is a terrific website. Last year was my first year hunting. I don't really know many people that hunt so I have started with information in books, magazines and huntingbc. For the past 4 years I have lived in Ucluelet. I spend my summers fishing and sailing as much as I can. West coast fishing is almost too easy this time of year. The last two years I have been getting into winter steelhead fishing from December- on. This is a little bit harder than the chinook/coho fishing off Ucluelet, but I still managed to land a couple. I really tried to get a blacktail buck last year, but it just didn't work out. The bush here on the west coast is so thick, and aside from seeing a single buck ( I believe it was the same buck that I came across multiple times) there aren't many deer outside town. I hunted pretty hard for grouse too. At the end of the year I had two grouse from a single trip - that's about it. So I just wanted to introduce myself here - I'm new to the sport, but there's so much I want to do. At the top of my list: Blacktail from the east island. Next is Waterfowl - I have a great lab who is either a natural bird dog or was trained in his past life. Anyway, that's all for my introduction rant.

[Viking]

Welcome blackdog and better luck with hunting this year.

[Bow Walker]

Welcome aboard BD. Love the fresh meat of a newbee! ;)

BTW - you are aware (of course) of the "newbies must post a joke" rule that is physically enforced by HBC's mini-mod aren't you? Don't get Mr. Dean P.O.'d at you. :eek: :roll:

Looking forward to stories of the hunt/pursuit and pics, of course. :mrgreen:

[newhunterette]

welcome welcome welcome - a joke is must or Mr.Dean will be on the prowl after ya. This is a great site - post away - always great to hear new experiences and dreams of harvesting the critters.

oh and all trips hunting or fishing require pics to follow or the HBC'rs become restless and well ya don't want that to happen hehehehehehehehehehe

Ali

[Wolfman]

Yeah, welcome aboard! ;-)

Wolfman

[blackdog]

Thanks for the welcome!

You guys are a scary bunch. Ok here's a hunting joke:

A hunter gets a scope mounted at the gunsmith. The gunsmith says: you should be able to hit the target at 100 yrds, take a look at my house down the street. The hunter does, and asks: 'is that your wife in the window?' The gunsmith takes the gun and sees his wife undressing in front of the post man in his own living room. 'Here are two cartridges' he says to the hunter.' I want you to shoot my wife in the head, and shoot the postmans dick off.' The hunter takes back the gun, looks through the scope and replies 'I'll only need one.'

[todbartell]

hahahha...:mrgreen:

[Philcott]

Hi everyone,

I have lurked here for a while and finally decided to join up after reading many great stories.

I started hunting, in rural Quebec, back in 1970 when I was 12. My uncle started me out on an old H&R single shot 12ga. with no recoil pad and a bag of ice for the shoulder.

I came to BC in 1978 and started deer hunting in the Tyaughton creek area near Goldbridge. I saw some fantastic country and we got some nice deer.

I now live in Victoria but still do most of my hunting on the mainland. My hunting partner and I go out each fall for a week or two and pursue moose and deer. Though moose is out for us this fall we are still going for our 4 point mule deer hunt.

I'm looking forward to getting to know a bunch of you here and to sharing stories and tips.

All the best,

Phil

Initiation joke:


Phil and his buddy Pete, were out deer hunting a few weeks ago. After following tracks in the snow all morning, they cant to the realization that they were lost. Phil, being a skilled outdoors man with years of experience, reassured his buddy saying, "Don't worry, Pete. All we got to do is shoot three times into the air, stay where we are, and someone will come and find us."



So Pete shot in the air, three times, they waited, but no one came. After an hour or so, they tried again and still no one came. After deciding to try another time Pete said, "I sure hope it works this time, we only have three arrows left."

[Mr. Dean]

Yup, you can tell who's been lurking when the jokes just 'come'... :lol:


Welcome fella's!

[The 'Hummer']

Welcome Phil. There are a lot of great people here with a wide variety experience and knowledge that they are willing to share.:smile:

[Bow Walker]

Welcome Phil - does that mean that either you or Pete are Archers? Lots of deer and bear here on the sland to test your skills/patience/perseverance.

[BigBanger]

Welcome to the site .

[4570hunter]

Marc a Question .... How to post pics on the site when you right click insert image it asks for URL addy Can you explain this please.

Thx

[Mr. Dean]

Marc a Question .... How to post pics on the site when you right click insert image it asks for URL addy Can you explain this please.

Thx

It's prompting you to place the address of where the pic is hosted; Even if its HBC's gallery.

Just cut-n-paste it.

[Philcott]

does that mean that either you or Pete are Archers?

I think using the term archer indicates a certain proficiency level. I ain't there yet.

I believe I might get a chance for some near town deer in the near future but I need to get a better bow and do some more practice. I just have an old crappy low tech recurve now.

I did quite a bit of hunting on the island in the years past but there are a lot of locked gates now and the nice Saturday morning hunt seems to be a thing of the past.

I had some nice week long hunt camps up near Sayward and Gold River some years ago but as everyone knows the deer dried up when the wolfs and cougars were allowed to flourish. It does sound like things are coming back now though so I should make a few weekend trips to see for myself.

Good to chat with like minded folks.

Phil

[Spyder]

Hi everyone! Pritty new to hunting anything other than grouse starting to learn tracking mullies and other game (lot harder than tracking people).

Good luck on your hunts every1
Stay safe
Spyder (aka Greg)

Well I guess i best be putting my "Fresh Meat" joke in too lol...

One Sunday, a priest decided to skip church and go hunting in the neighboring forest. So while he was hunting he saw a gigantic grizzly bear the had stopped to get honey from a beehive. The priest thought the bear was good game, so he clumsily shot at it, and he missed. The bear, startled by the shot, jumped up and started charging at the priest. The priest used his only option: he dropped to his knees and prayed. "Dear God," he said, "Please let this bear be a good christian, a better one than I was." As the bear drew closer, is dropped to its knees and said, "Dear God, thank you for this meal I am about to receive."

[Mr. Dean]

All good!

Please feel free to plunder and pillage tis site for all its worth. :wink:

Hello Everyone,

Chasin

So here's another joke:

One summer night, a father and son were talking on the porch when the kid suddenly ask his dad, "hey dad, how did you ever come up with our names?" "Well son..." the father answered, "when your sister was born, I saw a falling star so I named her 'Falling star'.... and when your brother was born, I saw a running deer so I named him 'Running buck'. So.... why are you asking.... Pooping dog?"

Hi Guys, new guy to the site and I have found it to be awsome. Great tips and stories.
I myself am an archery addict. Nice to find some others with the same passion. Although I like to hear the bark from my rifles from time to time.
Thanks to my buddy Elkhound for getting me to sign up.
I'll have to get back on the initiation joke, got a few just no time.
Cheers,
Scott

[Magnumb]

Okay here's a couple of jokes, hope they are new to some.

A horse walks into a bar and the bartender says to him "Hey, why the long face?"

What do divorce in the south and hurricanes have in common? Eventually someone is losing a trailer.

What is the worst thing someone can do during sex? Phone their spouse.

Thanks for letting me share....

[Island Idiots]

Hi,
I have been visiting this site for some time and thought I should say hello.
Hello! Here is the required joke:
Three guys are out hunting and sitting around the evening campfire exchanging their worst experiences.
The first guy says the worst thing that ever happened to him was, he was up on a scaffold 7 stories high washing windows when the scaffold collapsed and he fell, breaking every bone in his body and he was hospitalized for six months.
The second guy says the worst thing that ever happened to him was, he was hitch-hiking and a Greyhound bus ran over him, breaking his back and he wound up in the hospital for nearly a year. The 3rd guy was not saying anything, so one of the others asked him about his worst experience. He said, "Well, I'll tell you about the second worst thing that ever happened to me, I was out hunting one time and I had to take a shit, so I stepped behind a tree, dropped my trousers, and crouched down into *the* position."
"Yeah? what happened next?" asks his friend. "I got a little too close to the ground and -- WHAM -- a bear trap snapped shut on my testicles." One of the other guys said, "God! If that was the second worst, what in the world was the worst?" He calmly replied, "Oh, that would be when I reached the end of the chain . . .


:)

[Big Dog]

I am having trouble posting in the for sale section is says i don't have access not to start a post but to reply to one could you tell me why this is.

[NaStY]

No one can reply to "Buy and Sell" section except mods and admin.

[Phreddy]

I am having trouble posting in the for sale section is says i don't have access not to start a post but to reply to one could you tell me why this is.

To reply to things in the for sale section you have to send it via personal message. Prevents clutteringup the site I guess.
