Any Canadian Traditional Archers out there?

[Rob Fin]

Another Manitoban checking in! I've been at this about 10 years now. I shoot a Black Widow longbow and a Cari-Bow longbow. I've always focused on whitetails but am planning to do some bear hunting this spring. We do have a great group of trad shooters in Manitoba and lots of hunting opportunities.

Just starting out with traditional archery. Shot a compound for a couple years, but this is way more interesting

Ontario, Kemptville area. I think Ontario wins for the most stick shooters;-)

Hunt it all with the bow, hitting it is a different story!

Ontario here as well --just southwest of Ottawa.

[Skinner]

Kitchener / Waterloo, Ontario area here as well.  Shoot both recurves and longbows.  Mostly BW PLX's this past year for whitetail.

[Ontario Longbow]

O.L here from beautiful Wasaga Beach, Ontario. I have been Trad bowhunting for the last 20 years. Favorite bow is the Toelke Whip. I hunt with Harl, Journeyman, 62Checkmate and Mitch,, great guys that you can count on. I was hunting with Journeyman this fall when I took my best buck, 1/2 hour later Harl and Mitch are there to help drag him out,,Ontario has some great Trad guys,,,Frank

Checkmate Hunter Takedown. 62" 58#.

2nd year of bowhunting. Caribou, arctic hare, ptarmigan. But it is all theory. No kills yet. Bloody sad eh? Not for lack of trying. Last Sept/Oct, I put in about 150 miles on foot and didn't see a thing. But I still love to get out and roam and stump shoot, so it is worth the effort. And the exercise is healthy. Someday....

[Red Dwarf]

I'm in Nelson B.C., shoot selfbows and a Chek-Mate Thunderbird 51#.
I am new fairly hunting in general but have been chasing whitetails, elk and black bears, but the only meat in the pot via my bow has been from a few grouse. Had a nice bull elk broadside at 32 yds last season. (Strictly a 20yd limit for me)

Hey Yellow Owl, yep, but it's not like it used to be. Too many rich city folk have moved in & "gasp!", whack those cute lil deer?

About 2 years later I get a phone call, you hunt with a bow? The deer are eating my $30,000 landscaping you have to come do something!

Almost got a deal with Fish & Game to do "culling" once vinyards started happening here. But ran into a catch.

Had to donate the meat to a charity thing, food bank, hospital, whatever. But they now can't take it without "gov't inspection". To do that, I'd have to haul the meat off island, pay to get it inspected, then give it away with records every step of the way. Dumb.

Anyways, it's almost to the point there's no places to hunt other than private land. Luckily I've been here long enough that it's not a problem.

Give a holler if yer ever over this way.

Oh yeah, I've got a few more bows to come yet, waited a long time for the Canuck buck to get to par & I'm blowing the wad!

[EASTERNARCHER]

Looks like Herb and me are the only NB'ers on here.

[Yellow Owl]

Quill Flinger,

Yup...I know the feeling. Same thing happened over on Bowen Island. Lots of rich city folk trying to save "bambi". Saturna Island is the same thing.

Oh well. Glad to hear you still get a chance to fling a few arrows at those garden raiden ungulates!

Keep adding to that bow collection while the dollars high. I know I'm doing my part to keep 3 Rivers in business!

Take it easy
