Flintlock Season

“Flintlock Season”. This might be the best thread around here in a while. As hunting season comes to an end. Very entertaining stuff! Thanks!

Thanks for your thoughts Gilroy - quite lengthy but let me address just one comment - that's police protection- when riots occurred in our cities the police were useless - people were left on their own to protect themselves - we had a school shooting going on and the cops stood outside keeping anyone from going in - the most stated concern of police officers is officer safety- most often the cops come after the crime has been committed- they rarely stop crime from occurring - a lot of people don't know it but the police do not have the duty to protect anyone - this has been established from court cases where people tried to sue because the police didn't protect them - when it comes to protecting yourself and or your family you are on your own -

Then we have the make up differences of our countries - we have a lot more people who come from broken homes or families without fathers who are prong to violence - the prison population will tell you this story - each year millions of situations occur where just the presence of a gun by a law biding citizen prevents a crime from occurring- finally let me close with one thought - if you think that your country is going to escape the violence you are fooling yourself - it's just a matter of time

I would like to see a youth season in Canada which extends past (or before) the general season(s). Short seasons create a larger volume of hunters in the woods increasing the possibility of hunter conflict.

Always had mixed feels about youth seasons. Ya on one hand seems like a good thing to encourage new hunters but on the other in a sense may give an unfair advantage which hunting rules and regulation endeavor to put hunters on an even footing.

My experience with youth seasons in other places, now I have never participated and I am from Ontario (just talking to others who live in areas where they have a youth season), is it sure seems like a great way for dad to get out (he does all the preparation with stands, cameras, bait, etc.) with the kids and help them get a deer.
Sometimes the kids help preseason and sometimes it’s someone else’s kids. If we have the resources I am in for a youth rifle season before the regular rifle season. I will just have to find some youths to help get a deer 😉.
