Retired from Hunting but still shooting paper and steel

[Whitetailer]

I spent my hunting years in Saskatchewan and Alberta, Canada. During those years I hunted Whitetail Deer, Mule Deer, Elk, Moose, Antelope and Black Bear. I also was fortunate enough to hunt Partridge, Grouse, Pheasant, Ducks and Geese. My hunting rifles varied from .22 lr through 30 calibres to 45-70. Shotguns are/were .410, 20 and 12 gauge. My paper and steel chasing now has me shooting cast bullets in most of my rifles, easy on the rifles and easy on my shoulder. Retired from my day job in 1991 and moved to The Island to get away from Canadian Winter's bite. I miss the Canadian Prairies greatly but The Island is the place for my wife and I now.

Retired from work about 24 years ago and retired from hunting anything but paper and steel about 10 years ago. Hunted Western Canada, mainly Alberta and Saskatchewan for everything from Prairie Gophers to Moose. We have the good fortune to have abundant and varied wildlife with not so many people that we can't co-exist with our wild birds and animals. Now living on Vancouver Island with many memories of past hunts. I am interested in how and what other people around the World hunt and in reading about those hunts, sorry, Stalks...

Welcome, our friends had first owned a lodge north of Vancouver then later ran a restaurant on the island situated halfway between your Victoria island and Vancouver City but then they retired and found the cost of living was too high to live on their joint Canadian pensions so they returned to northern Germany to live in the old parents house.
