  2. abit of saluki is good, but in alberta the temp can drop to -45 the ground is like concrete ,gets very hot in the summer too not suitible for any running dog , it is mainly flat praries big field s ,but their hare canot be compared with ours ,not sure if canadians have alot of choice with lurchers as not many do the small stuff all the best BB , I realise that this may not be the same thing, and meaning no disrespect to anyone, but we breed in a lot of whippet and different sight hounds into our racing dogs (sled dogs), and to tell the truth the sled dogs are looking a lot more like sig
  3. Hey, do you remember the link? 185 Yards,sorry DogPaddle.................. http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=03y2BarHcUs&...feature=related That's some good shooting! I have tried to make those shots, but I cannot even come close.
  4. I will take a look around and see if I can come up with something. But I don't think that I have any pictures of game taken with a bow, or rifle for that matter. I only recently joined the computer scene and modern technology, but I will try to get lots of pictures this season.

  6. Is it legal to hunt with any type of bow over there? It is legal here and I was just wondering about your laws there. I enjoy hunting with bows, and have hunted with "primitive" bows and with a modern compound. For small game I prefer the smooth and quiet of a nice flat bow or a reflex-deflex, but for large game a compound bow has incredible stopping power. And to the moderators, is a bow forum planned for this site?
  7. I thought that this type of government propaganda went out with the love of communism!! Is Marxism back in fashion???
  8. Absolutely! They live mostly in the south, from Manitoba to Alberta. I find that they are difficult to catch with dogs, because they seem to stay so close to their burrows, but we did have a couple of dogs that figured out a way. Actually at the time we lived in southern Ontario and had a groundhog problem (no prairie dogs live there). We had a German Shepherd Dog and a Cocker Spaniel bitch, and the spaniel would run in the fields around the groundhog holes, with the shepherd trailing quite a ways behind. Then when the spaniel would cross a hole, the groundhog would stick it's head u
  9. I could send you a box of Timbits, but I don't think that there would be many left with all the customs officers.
  10. Bow Hunting is superb! Have you been over here yet, since you posted this? Is there a thread on this forum dealing with bow hunting??? Anyone??? I live in an area that is almost overrun with black bears. They are easy to find, sometimes too easy. In fact they are so easy, that most people here just buy their bear tag and jump in the truck and drive up the road looking for one wandering the edge of the forest.
  11. Hey Lurchergrrl, Don't you miss the cold just a little bit??? freezing your tongue on the lamp post??? Wait till the ambient temperature passes -40 and then spit into the air and listen to it crackle as it freezes before hitting the ground. I just can't help it, I live for the winter!!! It is the greatest time of the year!!!
  12. Rabbits are hunted here, and some people even use dogs, but it is nothing like in the UK. I hate to say it, but I think that we are spoiled. There is so much large game here that really only kids and poor people hunt small game on a regular basis. Although coon hunting has a strong following. Sorry to say it, but the same applies to Carp. We all fished for them when we were young, but they are so easy to catch, that when we grow, adult pride takes over and we go after the more challenging fish, leaving the carp for the city folk or the children to catch. I would also like to ad
  13. Hey, sorry for reviving an old thread, but I can certainly answer if you are still interested? Simple answer, there are many rabbits, but not so many near the cities. Canada is an enormous country and has a vast amount of wildlife, and the hunting regulations change from province to province. Many things that are legal in one area, are illegal in another. The areas around the cities and southern Canada are also full of wildlife, but there are also many farms there. If it is not city, it is farm land. I was raised in the farmland of southern ontario and there was a big push ba
  14. Excellent!! I can't wait to experience it myself. Thanks again.
