Hi Folks,
Been lurking on here for a while. I'm just another Canuck that is tired of -45 winters and looking at possibly heading on down to the hunter's paradise you guys call home.

Welcome Thor762...
Hello there, thinking about a permanant move or a holiday ?
And,Welcome.
Welcome to the forum Thor762, dive in the waters fine!!!!!!!
Welcome!
Thanks guys.
@jakewire I'd prefer it to be permanent. Might have to start with a long holiday first though. Where I am in northern Canada deer season only lasts a month up here, and if that's when work is you miss out until the following season. Fishing is lousy unless you drive 5-6 hours. Last winter there was snow for 8 consecutive months (Oct-May) with the coldest being -50's. A guy gets tired of that year after year, haha.
Welcome to the forum Thor. Come on down. Hunt and fish all year round.
welcome on board old son. tell ya what could ya slip a coupla moose in ya bag when ya come -some of the buggers round here seem a little lethargic -having a cranky bullmoose right behind em ,might wake there ideas up a bit.
any space left -chuck in a grizzly or two. good oh ,look forward to seeing ya at the airport.
Hey bud, welcome. Where are you living now, Northern Territories? I'm born and raised in the Maratimes, don't hold that against me. Just had my 14th year Kiwi anniversary though so I'm well over half life lived in nz.

Welcome from the Coromandel. Did you say you like fishing. We are so close to the sea I can spit (downwind) into it.
Just waiting for the easterly to kick in before going out for a fish. Come over and try it.
@Dougie spent the last winter on the prairies. But the rest have been spent in the northern half of Alberta and BC.
And no, I won't hold being from the Maratimes against you, haha.
@kotuku I can try and see if I can get a moose or three to fit in my bags. But the grizzlies get mighty gnarly when you try to stuff them in a box while they're still kicking.
@Scribe yes sir I enjoy fishing, and catching too. Haven't put a hook in the water in 2 years here now. 5-6 hour drives in the wrong direction don't happen often to get to anything decent.
ah thats ok squirecause if anyone nailed it the dundees wouldnt have enough watties(tomato sauce mate) to cover the roast.dunno how mother dundee would go trying to pack a whole grizzly into the roasting tin- however no doubt where theres awill theres a way.
anyhow better let you go ,no doubt youre packing gear already.
Just make sure you go south not north, we have proper mountains, they don't:PQuote:

How bloody inconvenient.Quote:

Hey, @257weatherby, there is nothing wrong with our mountains up here on Pig Island...:D:DQuote:

As for the hunting it is second to none. Short travel, high rewards and plenty food on the table, unless you want snapper then you might be left feeling a little peckish if you have an appetite. Lifes good, people are nice (remind me of folks from the north of Scotland: can't understand them and inbred :thumbsup: but the best hospitality you can find). Seriously i wont go back to Scotland, i know most of these people may be disappointed by that :P but home is here. There are reasons NZ kicks arse, just come find out for yourself.
No shortage of snapper here mate, just have to know where and when, Rags in early summer, gulf same time and east coast summer,, fill your fridge up !!!!
