I know some hardcore hunters that have told me they will be sleeping in thier trucks, but I am not that hardcore, esp. in Feb.

Brooks is an option (it is a lot closer than Bassano) however Medicine Hat is arguably your best bet ....... not to mention one of the closest (20-25 minutes down the Trans Canada to the base). Good cross section of hotels and a wide variety of restaurants. Redcliff is slightly closer but has less selection for accommodation.

Not one moderator to ban this. ???

This is cull hunt and it does not matter if cow is 2 weeks pregnant as at end of September or 5 m pregnant.
If you have problem with this be vegetarian.

This is forum for meat eaters not vegetarians.

Elk population got out of hand at Suffield and SRD is trying to correct this by issuing multiple tags to stop from getting worse.
This creates opportunity for many hunters to divert their harvest from supplemental WT does or others to elk.
If you feel that your zone can't support extra deer tags come and feel your freezer with this management Elk.

I did help my friend to harvest cow in November at Suffield and will help out if any of my friends wins February draw.

That is one of the dumbest things I've read on this forum yet.
And that bar is set pretty high.

That is what I was afraid of before. Your posts are scary and worrisome. You have no logical basis for anything you have posted on this thread and are quite willing to try to sabotage other hunters and the game managers. Your views are myopic and your attitude selfish.

No this is not what what makes up Esrd decisions. They make descions on one aspect and forget about the rest. Then people bitch about it then then Esrd makes a knee jerk reaction to that and drops the ball on everything else. Then you end up with a elk herd which should have never been transplanted to Suffield. Only reason they were transplanted is the guy leading the transplant wanted a prairie hunt in the future.

So why should I be banned? Am I not aloud to voice my opinion? I never put anybody down nor did I break any forum rules. I am not a vegetarian. I actually just finished making elk sausage and deer jerky.

Not even in that league. Like I said I will do it.

So what I have a view. None of this would be going on till the farmer went to the media and let all the non hunter press this issue. If it was for 10% of our population nothing would have changed with this hunt or any of the others that went to general archery. Please tell me how I am being selfish cause I think this hunt should happen in a different time of the year and should not have 2 tags. I am not sabotaging any bodies hunt. Esrd does not need my help screwing up on anything. Nice try though.

[WilsonMS]

Can we all agree to stop arguing with residentguide here. Its getting no where and it just draws attention to his non-hunter cause.

No, Answer the question. What is the difference between Shooting Cows at different times of the year when the goal is to reduce the herd?

Can someone please explain to me why everyone was so dead set on saying residentguide was JustinC? Don't get me wrong, they are both total morons and deserved to be banned.

But the writing styles of the two members were completely different. JustinC could barely spell his own name. Have a look through the past history of posts of his, not even close to the same writing style. Did Justin discover hooked on phonics? I could never see any evidence that these to members were anywhere close to the same person other than the stupid things they said.

I have chatted with members by PM but no one could show any proof it was him.

Really could care less, just curious is all...

Bye bye residentidiot, it is about time.

[QUOTE=walking buffalo;2670374]

Let's not lose sight of the reason for this hunt and the important role that hunters have to play. If hunters want to continue with being recognized as a critical component of wildlife management, we need to do our part and reduce the elk population here.


^^^This.

There isn't a difference. Either us as hunters do it or someone else will slaughter them and the meat won't be used.

Holy !! How the **** flies here when someone expresses his opinion ,
Though he may have been a little over opinionated on believing that culling elk at 3/4 term was a bunch of crap which may have came across as anti .
I believe res had a right to his opinion and in no way deserved to be banned for this .
I find the hunt to be a great cause and will love some nice tender elk meat ! Who says you have to shoot a wet Cow ? there will be thousands of young ones running around with a target on them as well ,so why all the fuss over pregnant cows?

On a side note I believe the banning of resident was uncalled for and the expression of Cannon was inappropriate as a moderator .
Its one thing to abuse power but its another to Boldly boast publicly.

I agree he had a right to his opinion. When he stated he was going to buy a tag and purposely not fill it is where he crossed the line in my opinion. About as anti hunting as one can be. On a side note i wonder if that would be considered interfearing with a lawful hunt? If someone's ethics are troubled by this late hunt don't participate.

Perhaps you are making an assumption as to why he was banned for the twentieth+ time?

BINGO... Thanks for hitting the nail square on the head..

Maybe people are assuming its the same person!!
I see Justin thrown around several times when in fact this may no be Justin at all.
I have purchase many tags and all I have done is watched animals pass on by ,
Does this make me an Anti?
Yet I do not agree with his post of buying a tag on a cull ! this is not how a cull works .
But what is set to eliminate such dealings .
How many Anti or Peta wetodds will actually try to get a draw ? there isn't much anyone can do to stop this from happening.
So because a member is opposed to the cull and states he will waste a tag he is banned from the forum?
Freedom of speech and expression Folks.

Pretty sure the mods have access to info that helps them id who is who.
I for one feel dumber for having engaged this guy.

[TBark]

This is a privately owned forum, public yes, but no reasons need to be given to ban idiots.
No fees are charged for membership so no recourse for deleting or banning threads nor members.
U want freedom of speech, join another forum and spew your BS. Simple really.

I don't bother to inquire why certain profiles are banned so I can't answer your questions without speculating.

I doubt the banning had to do with what was said. I suspect The mods figured out that this was yet another one of Justin's dozens of accounts and shut it down. Just as the mods just closed a multiple account of Ishootbambi' s "casual obsever".

The mods have ways to figure out multiple accounts, such as when the wives of these two guys spill the beans to the mods in an attempt to get them off of their AO addiction.

Where did you find out how many helpers are allowed on this hunt? I have searched for this for quite a while now.

ESRD released a memo in the fall summarizing all regs for the Suffield hunts. You can find it here:

http://mywildalberta.com/hunting/hun...lk-Oct2014.pdf

It seems this year you can have more than 1 helper but all helpers must be in the same vehicle.

I'm not sure if there is a limit on helpers except that you all must be in one vehicle, I'm sure if you showed up with a 48 passenger bus they might have something to say about that though... Lol.. Or at least that's what the rule was in 2012 when we were there last..

First time they ever had this hunt they only allowed 1 extra person in a truck that did not have a tag. Not sure if it has changed.

Quote from mywildalberta;

 Licensed hunters are permitted to bring one or more helpers with them during their time at CFB Suffield. However, all helpers must travel in the same vehicle as the licence holder, no exceptions.

[deepwoods]

This thread is hilarious!!
Actually,it's kinda sad,but entertaining at the same time....ya know,like a car wreck?You want to look away but......pretty comical to see 6000 guys making hunt plans prior to 250 tags being drawn,lol.
Assuming every licenced hunter in AB got the same email notification of this hunt,and assuming 20% apply,your chances of drawing are 1:100 maybe?
....good luck all....throwing my name in the hat because yes,my schedule is flexable.
Seriously RG???Planning to draw a 1 in 100 tag,then sitting out the hunt in protest?While I admire your conviction....that's just insane dude.
