Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Canada No Yankees Under Foot?

I'll have to be like old Napoleon in exile.

Too bad wabigoon, you seem like a good sort.
Our Guide/ outfitting businesses are going to take a hit, besides that I have no need to travel or see travellers.
I like the isolation, and by nature...where I live.

I fell in love with Canada in 1949 as a four year old. The people are worth more than all the fish, and game.

You can walk across the border pretty much wherever you want in Southern Alberta. No guarantee you escape detection. I'm not willing to risk it. I like my freedom too much.

We got that news yesterday as well. That will kill tourism for this summer.

I only live 1 hr from the NB border & Maine and am needing to cross and pick up some GunGack books from MD from my post box.

I am at my place outside Sandpoint and it is odd to not see the loads of Canadian license plates that are normally present. My early September northern BC hunt looks doubtful.

Of course you still see all the California, Washington, and other states plates. Just like here in southern BC we don't see Montana plates but we do see visitors from Canadian locations which have many more infections than does Montana. This is because political "leaders" actually think their political crap matters. Ultimately, we just play the hand we are dealt.
There is little doubt the border closures and covid in general, are likely to have a significant impact on outfitters. This, in turn may have a positive effect for resident hunters. Hard to say. GD

One person in Florida went to a bar and almost 30 people were infected. $hit, this stuff is contagious. I'm finding it awfully hard to wrap my head around the fact that we are only in month 4, and until the vaccine, it's likely another 20.

Not seeing much in the way of out of staters either. Pretty quiet so far.

Drove through Couer d'alene about four weeks back and it was just as busy as usual. A little quieter than usual in Bonners and from there to Sandpoint also. I was surprised to see a Washington plate on a back road near Cranbrook this week.
We enjoyed our first silhouette match last weekend which was great but we miss the visitors we usually host. GD

Update Richard - Border closed till August 21st now !

Sadly Paul, I've read that as well. I hope you good folks don't go hungry waiting for the "care package" in our freezer.

Thanks Richard, I'm sure we will survive !

I just talked to a friend in Wabigoon that mostly stays home all the time. We made a deal, I'll park my pickup in his drive, I'll borrow his. He'll quarantine for me.

I was up at Voyageurs national park a couple weeks ago. You can be in their waters but cant step foot on land.
I stopped and took a [bleep] on the ground and left.
