Over the years, I'd say about the same, other than I never really hunted bear. I've killed a fair number of nuisance bears though. Paul and I inhabited the same old haunts never knowing each other. Now I live in Manitoba and my health is keeping me out of the field mostly, but I have enjoyed my hunting and fishing life in the extreme.


Brother Keith,

We are definitely blessed with an abundance of outdoor activities !

Strange that in an entire catchment area of roughly only 7000 people, we never did cross paths in the last 14 years.

Very glad you enjoyed your time here, & still left a little for us.

Nothing blessed me more than mentoring our Son & my wife's enthusiasm for hunting.

Deb only sat her hunter safety course, to help Doug get his hunter apprentice licence, when he was 12.

Was in a double tree stand, a day apart, with both of them when they harvested their first deer (both young bucks).

Enjoy your fond memories, of time well spent !

Paul.
