New member from CANADA
Greetings from Vancouver Island British-Columbia, West coast of Canada.
I am 71 . retired. hunt,fish, hike, camp mostly on the island....300miles long by 70 miles wide.
there are 2 main ''small'' cities and numerous small towns and villages ,mostly in the south-central area .
the further one goes up island,the wilder the land is.
We have lots of deer, big black bear (a few grizzly bear on north east side of island) elk, mountain lion and wolves...
From april.1 to june 15, most hunters are after black bear.
I shoot all types of firearms from handguns to black powder and centre fire.
looking forward to reading about outdoor adventures in INDIA and will be pleased to answer any questions anyone has about hunting/fishing/outdoors here on the west coast.
cheers NAHMINT284

I see that there are people from all over the world here, enjoying sharing information.
It is sad that governments can not seem to get along as well as the ''FIREARMS COMMUNITIES '' do.
Have you visited the ISLAND /B.C. /Alaska ?
have a great evening

Thank YOU, SMJ,
Yes I am thankful for every day ,especially when the sun shines . we had ''monsoons'' from early novermer to late march of this spring......just a little snow BUT the constant rains made travel in the mountains unsafe.

Hi nahmint. I envy you if you live on the island. The home of the largest ursus americanus on earth. Please share your hunting pics
