yeah, but it doesn't look like i'll get much hunting in (b.c. anyway) non-resident aliens cant hunt without a  pro guide, according to the b.c game laws. too much $$$ for me. glad i didn't come just for the hunting.   :(

How long are you staying Clint? There are a bunch of Trad guy's east of you in Alberta. Try to get a hold of Bert Frelink in Pincher Creek. Quarter Moon Longbows. There is a shoot in early January around Lethbridge. Awesome flyfishing in the area you are in now as well. We are trying to get a pig hunt going in mid January, no license required for anybody. Free ranging stuff.

Ozy Clint,

Rats! Missed getting to meet you. I was in Kimberley for Christmas, but had no access to a computer, so I didn't know you were in Cranbrook.

Where are you looking to work at, and what is your chosen field of work?

Ifn you are going to be around Cranbrook, we will have to try and meet up.

All the best,

R.W.
