@@bartdaw6681 I just got back from a two week moose hunting trip. Unfortunately I didn’t get one but I still had an incredible time. That’s what hunting is about😁
@@richcandella9154 that’s amazing, I cherish every moment spent with my boys on a hunt. Those quiet mornings sipping hot drinks and waiting for the slightest bit of movement. What do you plan on hunting, small game to start?
Awesome video. Lots of great advice and info. A community is a great idea. I have just recently got back into hunting after a 16 year hiatus. All my old hunting buddies were my exwife's relatives so needless to say, I don't hunt with them anymore. None of my family or friends are hunters so I am looking for a group to go with within or around Port Hope to Belleville Ontario and willing to travel further North.
@@nexlemav thank you so much. Are you hunting small or large game, southern Ontario is a great place for deer, about as close to beef as you can get 😁. I was hunting Kingston area but lost my spot due to a move, not sure where I’m going for deer this year maybe not at all, depends on the moose season. Thankfully there’s lots of farms in that area maybe start knocking on some doors, maybe a lease agreement🤷♂️. Good luck and happy hunting, welcome back!
I think you need to touch on clothing and equipment, for newbies. The right clothes for all types of weather are important, even though it seems like a no brainer to know. The right boots, both comfort and weather sealed are important. Then survival gear, especially, if you are far away moose and deer hunting. Matches, map of the area, compass, flashlight, emergency blanket, and so forth, as you would be surprised how easily and quick the weather can change, and not everywhere can you get cell phone coverage. All that is the tip of the hunting iceberg, yet, one very important thing, let someone know where you are going, and when you will be returning. If you are an hour late to call or respond, then search and rescue must be called. It is better to be embarrassed than to end a statistic, though this pertains more to up north moose and deer, or any kind of hunting in the “wilderness “. I have hunted all of southern Ontario, below the French river, and know what close calls can be. Finally if you want to hunt private land, do not go as a scrub, dress decently well. I hunted with Europeans, and many were tradesmen, and would walk up to a house dressed in dirty work clothes and ask permission, and be mostly refused. I carried a permission form, duplicate, with all the needed information from both of us, and disclaimer for the land owner, including the times allowed, and the hunting season, and any concerns. Dressed in clean, immaculate hunting clothes and boots, (though, obviously if you hunt wet swampy land, they will not stay that way), spoke politely, and listened to the landowner. Acting professionally, with curtesy, I was never refused permission to hunt the back forty, which always surprised my hunting companions. We never dropped our garbage behind, and even would stop at the house, to thank them, let them know we closed all the gates. We would even give them a heads up on anything, as in loose gates, missing fence etc, and if we had lots of game, offered them some. Some of them became my friends for a long time, and even if I was not hunting their property, I might stop on passing and pay my respects. I even was able to enjoy fresh unpasteurized milk (it tastes amazing and better than filtered milk), and have fresh farm eggs, or vegetables. Remember, on private property, you are selling yourself and your habits, and it is a privilege to hunt there. I don’t hunt anymore, except with a camera, though at whimsical times, I miss it, bon chance.
@@monkeysnark7043 solid advise thanks for posting, I did do a “hunting gear bag” unpack as far as some basic stuff I always have with me. As for hunting clothing it used to be fine to wear jeans and a sweater now it seems it’s a fashion show. I get it there is some fantastic high tech gear out there. This video was intended for somebody who’s looking to get a licence and dip his/her feet into it.
@@theguywithbeardgunsandgear 🤔Friend, there is no such thing as dipping one’s feet in it, when it pertains to hunting and a loaded weapon. Unless they start at a young age with a relative, whom will guide them and have knowledge with gear, how to’s, and handling a firearm and ammo. I was a loner and circumstances, basically started on my own, and would never recommend that to anyone. Though, I did hit up most of the “hunting” stores in and around Toronto and chewed their ears off with my boring yet eager questions on everything. Finally, load up my TR6 to the gills, and again, go out hunting. I was fortunate, over the years to meet up, and then have hunting companions, from greater Toronto area, to Oshawa. I would never gain say your experience or methods, yet, “ dipping one’s feet” is reserved for swimming in large bodies of water or pools. All the rest hunting wise, is with knowledge, respect and understanding. Both for one’s own safety and those around you, including hunting dogs. Kindest regards.
@@monkeysnark7043 there are absolutely tons of places where one may “dip you feet” into hunting. You can hire a guide or rent a hunt area for a weekend of small game, I’m not talking about a trip to northern BC for grizzlies I’m talking about walking a trail for grouse. All you need is PAL, hunting course a .410 a handful of 7 1/2 and an orange vest. I think that’s what scares most people away is they think they need a ton of resources to get started. I also indicated that the proper safety courses are a must (PAL and provincial hunting certification). It’s not like what it was when I started, they teach you about hunter safety in the course. Thanks for the input, I know what you’re saying.
Great video. Sharing in our national newsletter tonight!
Thank you so much appreciate the feedback.
Love you guys.
CCFR! So nice to see you guys here! Thanks for fighting the good fight.
Fancy seeing you here :P
Perfect video, I got my hunting license this year.
Awesome!!! Great sport and for the most part some of the best people I’ve met. Good luck! You going small or large game?
@@theguywithbeardgunsandgear just got home from our cabin, I am going for grouse and a deer on our next visit to the cabin.

The plural of "Canadian" is "Canadians", and "American" is "Americans".
