Looking for an intro to duck hunting

[J-Man]

Hey all,

I'm wonderring if anyone is looking for a hunting partner in the Surrey/Langley/Ladner area? Not looking to shoot (yet), just tag along and learn about duck hunting. I have duck hunted once about 19 years ago on a Langley farm when my dad's friend let me tag along.

I could trade knowledge and tips/or even trips on river fishing, saltwater fishing, deer or moose hunting. If your interested in getting into any of those topics.

About me, 34 - started hunting/fishing when I was 5. Currently teaching my 4 and 6 yr old grouse hunting this season and 6 yr old some river fishing. PM me if your interested and we can try to work out a day.

I always try to take a few guys out each year
Remind me after the 15th I will see what I can do for you

[J-Man]

Thanks I'll get in contact closer to end of October, off deer/moose hunting the last half of October.

I just recently moved to the langley area and im wondering if any of you guys can give me any details into where abouts i can get out there an shoot me some ducks. I have lived in Ladner my whole life and you can pretty much shoot ducks anywhere but now that i moved im scouting for some more spots. im 21 and also im looking for a couple buddies that maybe wanna take me out and teach me the ropes around here. let me know what you guys think... CHeers Mates !

I'm going to be wandering around Ladner tomorrow looking for some ducks. Would really appreciate a chance to tag along with someone who could show me the ropes, I've never hunted with a shotgun before. If anyone is interested bringing me along some time please drop me a line.

[J-Man]

Starting my first duck hunt since my early teens. Off we go, cheers to Bandit for letting me tag along.

[J-Man]

7 shots at 4 flocks but no winners. Lots of fun though. :)

[Nickchee]

That's alright J-man consider yourself a conservationist practicing shoot and release.

[Nickchee]

If anyone wouldn't mind a newb to BC tagging along to learn the ropes out here I would love to tag along.
I'm 25 year old chef from Ontario, just moved out here with my girlfriend to hunt, fish and cook.

PM me about anything and everything, could use a couple good buddies out here.

[field marshal]

I don't know what the hell you are doing in Burnaby, Nickchee??? If you lived over here on the Island, you would be getting an invite immediately!!!
Anyone that knows me will tell you a good chef is very high up on the pecking order in my books!!! I make no apologies for my love of FOOD!!!
Cheers,and good luck!!------Field Marshal.

[Nickchee]

Haha thanks man! Burnaby seemed to be the best place for use to land for work and housing and not too bad for hunting and fishing which is close to the top on priorities for me. We're going to check out the island soon for a day trip and I hear it's beautiful.

Hunting or not shoot me a PM for anything.

[Goose T404]

Nickchee, you gotta hook me up with some great and different ways to cooking some duck breasts lol

[pnbrock]

cook till black flip over and cook other side for 4 hours on high then sprinkle ashes on whatever!

[J-Man]

I'll be out Saturday morning again 7am Ladner Marsh, end of river road. I have one spotter coming along to see whats it about. But could use one more shooter. Bandit is off on his moose LEH.

[Nickchee]

I need to pick up a shotty and a migratory license but I'd like to come if that would be alright.
What's the location like? Are waders enough?

[lorneparker1]

Do you have your hunter number for BC already nick?

Lorme

[Nickchee]

This first thing I did when I got here three days ago was buy my license and small games as well as my fresh water and salt water fishing licenses...
Then found a place to live.

[andrewscag]

I'd love to come if nickchee can't make it.

[Goose T404]

If anybody would also like a day for me to take them out, i have a farm field in ladner that is available for me to hunt, and also all the marsh lands and dyke, we can set up a date just pm me

[andrewscag]

Pm sent. Thanks gooset404

[J-Man]

I'll send out a group PM, see what we can work out.
