I searched by user name and nothing came up. By topic I see it comes up.

[Camomutt]

Why was his membership removed?

[Foxton Gundogs]

Because he requested it to be as post 2 said.

I wonder if Vern Bergen is a member here?

[Yuritau]

Hope that's not the same bay where they park the fire engines and/or store the turnout gear.. I wouldn't want the potentially carcinogenic off-gases from those getting on game meat that I was planning to eat.

Another thread gives all the details. As to your question, he was but has been banned.

Ridiculous comment. The bay doors were wide open.

Which means the air is moving around, including around the carcass. Not a chance I would ever take.

Says he's a full-time fire fighter in the article.

Doesn't that mean that's where he lives? His dwelling.


Nice deer and looks like a great place to process it to me. Can't believe there's a complaint about that....

[Stone Sheep Steve]

Worst part is they are attacking someone who has been battling his demons and winning. Hunting has helped to keep him on the right path.
Pretty sad.

[BRvalley]

thanks SSS for connecting those dots for me....I recall his original thread now, fantastic thread and great to read, damn shame to see his success rained on like that....hope we see him on here again

people will drag a deer for 3km through mud, piss, and cow shit and that's ok .... but will then online complain about potential "off gases" from a fire engine that isn't even in the vicinity of a deer.

Where have you seen a hunter drag a completely skinned animal through any of that stuff?

FYI, the carcinogens are from the turnout gear and are not something to brush aside.

In case you weren't aware, policy now is that all turnout gear is decontaminated on site before returning to the Hall and then laundered to remove all those carcinogens. We've come a long way in the last 10 years. Have many a buddy that has battled and some lost to cancer as FF.

[Cabled]

I have to say, when I read the story in the surrey paper I was getting ready to read a ton of any hunting sentiment in the comments. It gave me some hope to see the level of support and amount of common sense in 99% of the comments.

[Spy]

Just shut this thread down there is already one going..... Some of these comments are just ****ed! carcinogens ???? WTF get a life people......

[Yuritau]

Not necessarily. Not all halls have permanent accomodations. Also, not all firefighters want to live at the hall all the time, heh.

Well aware of the policy. And for the record fully support the HBC member who is the topic of the story.

On queue, the usual suspects with minimal insight but lots to say are the first to start barking (not directed at you dmaxtech).

[Spy]

Seriously the thread is about HBC been in the news, about a fireman who's photo and story were stolen from HBC, by another HBC member. All some can talk about is how bad it is to hang a deer in a firehall????? If it were that bad it would probably be bad for anyone just walking into said firehall. I think this is a BS argument which has very little todo with what happened. Actually it has nothing to do with it..
"On queue, the usual suspects with minimal insight but lots to say are the first to start barking (not directed at you dmaxtech)." So nobody is allowed to have an opinion??
Bla bla bla bullshit!

[HighCountryBC]

Spy, relax on the drama man.

Support for the HBC member is high. Someone just made a valid point, which is clear a few others had little understanding of. No need to go off the deep end.

I would not post on this, or any other forum, from a work computer.
Don't bring unnecessary heat on yourself. You never know when they will need to decide who to lay off and what criteria goes into determining that.

It depends on the level of IT support your company has, but assume EVERYTHING you type on a work computer is being logged. The bigger the company, the bigger the IT budget, the more likely you are to be monitored.
