I say definately no, the veterans, some of who gave or risked their lives, deserve the respect of mot having to hear rifles during this day. If I go to the woods, It will be with a camera in my hand.
 
Whether or not you go huntin on "Rememberance Day" doesn't have much to do at all with whether you observe it. You can still appreciate what those people sacrificed for you. And the freedom to go huntin is one of those rights. It's up to you personally how you feel about it as to go or not to go huntin on that day.
 
Don't the vets who risked their lived deserve the right to hunt on this day as wel ACS? Or say my grandpa, who was an avid hunter, was killed in WW2.. What better way to remember him than doing something that they loved?

I have heard this about other holidays in the States, people saying that their should be no hunting on Them... Or the old blue laws that say no hunting on Sunday... Just can't say that I agree...
 
Angus,nobody respects our vetrans more then greg,ALWAYS,ALWAYS observes the two minute silence on Nov.11. In the afternoon,if we're not at the CFR,he hunts.

Mom has been onto my account on the computer cause theres no trust :roll: and she put this up cause she's mad about my gong on a trip up north for whiteys thursday friday saturday sunday and monday if I get my mule deer....

8) Kid yur STILL learnin.Always go out on that day.My Dad was in Army,My Grandfather.Who do yu think taught me to hunt?However on that day-at 11-radio is on in truck(make sure we are there then) and everything stops-a buck could walk by-don't matter-THAT is what counts. Got to pick yur battles better. Greg
 
Last year we had a record class buck walk out infront of us durin out two minutes, we let him walk, diddnt go out afterwards. My great uncles were all killed in WWII, and my great grandfather served in WWI and WWII. I like hunting, its almost like I met him when we go out, like, well I dont know how to put it, but like they were all there.

Have a good day

Angus...this sounds like an Elmo and Haymaker moment :P
 
Lol, no, mom really did do this, I enver even gave it thought.

Sad to think that she doesnt trust me enough not to look on my stuff, and post under my name, nd now its just a hastle to log on each time. lol.
 
Well before anybody labels me as a leftest I would like to point out that im probable the only liceanced trapper on here. Have also made my living as a professional hunter.
I voted no because hunting season around here is basically 5 months out of the year. Its nice to be able to take a horse out or to go for a walk with my kids on certain days like Sundays and not have to worry about getting shot.
In my area we are over run by idiots from town who are not really safe to be around. Then its the friggen traffic. We live in the middle of nowhere but yet there are traffic jams of these hunters parked in the middle of the road glassing for deer. You cant even walk outside of the house without someone watching you through a spotting scope! Yes these guys will come right in your yard to kill a deer. We have tame deer that are just like pets hanging around the house and these Great White Hunters from town will come right in my yard to kill one which is quite pathetic since you can walk right up to these deer like you could a horse.

Dont be mad at your Mom. I dont know how old you are but I wouldnt allow my offspring to be on the Net unless I was in the room with them and could see what they were up to. If she didnt care about you she wouldnt care what you where doing.
 
Roper,here central Alta. rifle season is only a month,no Sunday hunts.Remembrance day hunt for Gregs family is a tradition,only day they are all together during the season.

Trust me,we have hunting traffic,esp down on our Battle River pasture..LOTS of outfitters and guides come to this area,we just don't do any of our normal recreation stuff down there during Nov.other then hunting.

I guess the real problem is the mismagement of the resouce by AFG. It would be much better for everyone<hunters to> if there were more limits on how many people can hunt an area at one time.
Example in my zone it takes a resident about 5 years to get a mule deer tag. But yet FG gives the three outfitters that I know probable about 30 tags every year so they can drag in American hunters. Who owns the resource? Albertans or the outfitters? Right now the outfitters do. IMO Fish and Game is controlled by the Outfitters.
Why not set specific dates on tags. Example if you get drawed for Mule Deer then you only can hunt for say 3 or 4 days in an area. I mean still have a 5 week season but just dont have every hunter hunting at the same time. Example break the 5 week season into several smaller 4 day seasons that you could apply for. The way it is now its just a cluster F$$k.

Do you have access to a landowners tag? If greg doesn't get a draw, he takes his land tax form to a office in Camrose and gets a landowner tag,which can only be used of course on the land we own. For sure theres problams with outfitters getting tags,and bringing outsiders in that pay HUGE amounts of money to hunt on land that the outfitters don't own. And like we both know landowners get NONE of that money. Kind of bugs me outfitters make money off land they do not pay a cent for. Ya they're supposed to have landowner permission to hunt on the land but that for sure doesn't often happen.And its more then a little annoying when you can finally get a day to hunt on our own land its swarming with hunters.Greg had problams with one of his own brothers that was telling guys from work to go down on our place and hunt,greg was NOT a happy camper at that.Another time greg OK'ed a outfitter,then greg went hunting on a day off,the outfitter had a large mouth{out of country guy} who jumped out of vehical and proceeded to tell greg right off about hunting in his spot and who the hell he thought he was..blah,blah,blah. Greg grinned while he was being talked down to let loadmouth spout off,then told him to get hell off our land. Out fitter came later and apoligised but damage was done and greg denied access to him anymore.We heard later he quit outfitting,couldn't stand guiding rich arrogant,load mouth hunters.
 
We ve got some prime hunting ground but due to problems in the past of cut fences and bullet holes in grain bins I will have the gates pad locked and nobody will have permission except for a couple of guys that always watch out for my property.
