Canadian Black Bears 23 Posted March 7, 2012 Report Share Posted March 7, 2012 I noticed most of you have to hunt on leases and private land. Here we have a lot of government land which everyone is allowed to hunt without permission but not allowed to construct buildings. What do you do on your leases as far as over night stays? I know myself and 3 other buddies had a 18 foot travel trailor we used to drag all over the place one year to the next until we finally built a camp on 50 acres of land with great neighbors who own over 250 acres which we can also hunt. The camp is definitely better than a travel trailor as lots of room and very,very comfortable. It sleeps 7, wired for a generator, propane stove, water to a sink, a great heat throwin wood stove, insulated to the nines, and best of all an outhouse. Here are some pics. 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Ideation 8,216 Posted March 7, 2012 Report Share Posted March 7, 2012 The idea of building that on a 50 acre permission here . . . . would be mental! You are lucky having such a big country so the government land thing works, here, if there were areas of land anyone could hunt, whenever, there would be zero game on it, and it would be flooded with dick heads, night and day! 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Wow...I guess I was right out to lunch asking this question. That is why we have limited seasons and cannot hunt year round or on Sundays. Our deer season starts the end of September to the first week of December with a bag limit of only 1 deer and that has to be a buck unless you draw a doe tag. Even with such a short season, yes, we still have dick heads as well. We are truly blessed to have such big country and government land we can hunt but let's not forget the neighbors who allow us to hunt their land free of charge and only ask that we respect their property. The more I think about it the more I like where I live...thanks for the eye opener. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I use the camp for my outfitting business hunting black bears (www.blackbearoutfitters.ca) and there are several other reasons for having a camp. Several fellow outdoorsman get together several times a year, be it to go fishing, hunt rabbits, hunt deer, hunt bear, ruff grouse hunting, touring the back roads on our side by sides, or just to relax, tell lies, eat extraordinary meals which most likely are not good for you, and play cards. It's home away from home (if you read between the lines, I actually mean the Mrs. as it gives us both a break). If you don't get that it's because you have never owned a camp or don't have any friends...hahahaha, just kidding of course. To me it's not about the kill but the opportunity to be able to make the kill. I am quite happy with 1 deer each year although it would be nice to be able to hunt whenever you want but not necessarily to kill something. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
