Hey guys im getting my hunting license this weekend i wanted to go deer hunting with a couple of buddy's where would be the closest place to go ? Anyone from here hunt?

I hunt, pretty much everything, but not around T.O,
do you mean your doing the course this weekend? if so you'll only be able to bow hunt, it takes something absurd like 6 months for your firearms license to go through before you can legally carry a gun. just some info they dont tell you before the course, I did the course a few years ago thinking i could gun hunt after the course.... little did i know it takes 6 months for paperwork. Goodluck huntin either way, the adrenaline is pretty aweseome leading up to a kill/afterwards, you'll be pretty amped up im sure.

Hey dustin where do you go hunting about's?

living out in sask. You don't need a fac or fas or hst to hunt.. just a health card baby!..

I only hunt humans

Well local to me is ottawa, I go to pennsylvania for a week every year for deer, duck and goose is all local too, I live way out in the country so pretty much anywhere works.

Wanted to do mostly deer hunting, but it does not seem to be anywhere thats worth going in southern ontario.

I know out in the bush around the base in meaford is pretty good. The Ottawa valley is good especially near pembrooke, chalk river and deep river.
Real men bow hunt anyway, crossbow is a real entertainer

Hey Luc,
I hope you are not referring to the "real men" that sit in trees all day and wait till the deer is close to shoot it with their bow.
The real men are the ones that hunt down their pray and can take them down from a distance. I have had a bow for a while, and although I don't get to shoot it too often as I am not in the suburbs I love going home to shoot it!

There are tons of place to hunt in southern ontario. You need to befriend someone that owns some land and get permission to hunt it. Thats the way to go. If its a mix of farm and bush get a feed plot going the summer before. Get some trail cams out and see where they are.

Another way is to get an old van or truck and drive around until you hit one.

Rambo over here

Haha I'm talking about stalking with a bow. "blind shooters" are disgraceful. For every bow hunter that hunts from a blind or a stand there's two rifle hunters that do it.

Real bow hunting is a dying art but it really is the best way to go

I actually own a crossbow but planning to hunt with a rifle,Where do you guys go hunting mostly?

Everyone always has a spot they feel is best, some guys will actually get really pissed if you creep on theirs. If you just want to make a day out of it hit hwy 17 somewhere between cobden and Deep river park your truck on the highway or in the bush and go for a stroll in the woods until you see something you'd like to kill (preferably an animal) The wardens up this way are real dicks though.

Dont mind going for a weekend but to begin woudnt be going much more then that.

I bowhunt aswell, bowtech destroyer 350, who cares if you hunt from a blind or not were all hunters, out for the same reasons. Ever try skeet shooting ruben? Absolute blast .

No havent ever done that to be honest with you never realy have shot a gun so all of this is new to me ive shot crossbows and thats about it. Always wanted to get my hunting license and now that a couple of friends have it and ill actually have someone to go with im gona go ahead with it just want to find somewere to hun thats not more then 3 and half 4 hours from toronto.

skeet shooting is a blast, But I also like sitting 600-700 yards out and watch the beer get slammed down!..

I also like skeet shooting and slamming beer down. Ruben if you've got the bucks my friend is manager at a prestige hunting reserve north of Cobourg. 400+ acres I think. Lots of deer and about 20-30 acres of food plot.

I also highly recommend duck/goose hunting if you want a challenge and to kill many things at once.

Practice with prairie chickens.. 12g semi.. BOOM.. POOF

Adam do you no what the name of your friends reserve is and how much they charge for hunting there?

Its ridiculously expensive. Its mill valley estate. I could ask my buddy what rates are.

Yea if u can that would be great just for hunting area no lodge or anything

My buddy will inquire. Only does no bucks running around at the moment. For example a driven bird shoot is $900 for the day. Driven bird shoot meaning they release birds into the woods, then a week later they drive them out and you shoot them.

you'll get addicted, i need a bigger gun case soon, and i agree , goose/duck is aweseome , just so much shooting in a short amount of time.

I have the perfect gun for you


I think that will take care of any animal you encounter!

Or for more close range hunting

do want

what are they called, incindierie rounds? blow up on impact, i want those, i think that is considered good knock down power for stubborn animals/objects/zombies

Or get some nice dragon breath rounds haha.

You ever check out FPS Russian on youtube?

Personally I find driven shoots to be almost like cheating. They take all the skill out of being quiet and patient. They are a blast at a lodge with your friends though.

What shotgun do you guys think someone starting should pick up ? And where was that dustin maybe next time you go duck hunting me and a friend will come along if u don't mind.

Field beside my house lol,
Well I'd say a pump action, simple design and easy to use, 12 gauge,

I love my newest one, Ithaca model 500 12g, 2 3\4 chamber, over and under barrel

AHAHA must be nice to live outside of the city sometimes don't have to drive an hour to off to have some fun.

definitely a simple pump, get comfortable with the style and action before you start thinking bigger

You guys don't suggest going with a semi automatic shotgun?

By all means, but your looking for a something to pop your cherry. Your also talking about another price range. You may not actually care for hunting when you go. If I was you I'd be looking for a synthetic pump 12ga you'd be surprised how fast you can actually cycle the action anyway

Get a used gun too, half the price, and still quality guns.

Where would i be able to find a used gun?

you can buy a nice .306 savage package for 429.99$.. Thats rifle, cleanning gear, case and a nice bushmaster scoope.

Buy new, know what your getting.
