I left my home province of Alberta when I was 19 years old and spent 25 years on the west coast. I came back home 11 years ago to Red Deer(I was born here) and now when I go out hunting, sure...the game is here but all the animals have gone nocturnal because of hunting pressure. I never remembered it being so bad. I have watched ice fishing in Gull go steadily downhill, and one can't go anywhere around here to catch a decent walleye. Lakes full of blue algae because of farm runoff, streams choked because the trees are removed from the banks...etc. It makes me super depressed. Here it's my wedding annie coming up, and there's no where to go within a day here. It's either too crowded, or the fishing is too dead. It's really depressing to go out fishing only to catch young fish. It's pretty depressing to go out hunting and see shot up signs, garbage, and hunters trying to threaten me to move because "this is my spot because I come here all the time" (crown land btw)
