[John Ross]

Hello there Gang, My name is John Ross from Truro ns and am an avid outdoors person but I enjoy Hunting and Fishin the best. I'm into Re-Loading (shotgun and rifle)  all popular rifle calibers and 12ga and 20ga, it's great getting game with loads you loaded yourself. Bow-Hunting has been my latest Love and I'm into it up to my eyeballs, been doing that now for 4 or 5 years and have had some great luck. Tying flys and salmon fishin in the spring and summer, no better way to pass the time till huntin season comes around again. Presently live in NS, but my Heritage is in the Pilleys Island part of Nfld. The wife and I have lots of very good friends from the Trinity Bay area and we visit back and forth often, but not often enough for me lololo

I'm also into Music and play the Guitar, Mandolin, and Bass and love havin a good kitchen racket at our house as often as possible, might even enjoy a few cool ones. Well I have been know to tip a few lololo.

When it comes to Rifle Hunting I presently use either my 308 Browning bdl or my 30-06 remington 700 but most days now when I'm huntin it's with the Bow. I use a Mathews Z7 at 29 in draw length and at 60lb pull with Carbon Express Maxima Hunter 350 arrows. I have a HHA OL5500 single pin sight and a Rip-cord rest (no whisker bisket for me) and shoot pretty well all large game with the G5 Montec Broad-Heads or I find the Hellrazors great as well another one I like is the Muzzy all 100gr. OOOPPS just noticed I'm gettin a little too long winded here sorry.

Just want to say it's great being able to take part in such a nice open Hunting site like this

Hi fellow hunters/fisherpersons/and overall sportspeople.

David Janes just found the site and figured I would join and see what I can learn.

I have enjoyed the art of hunting, trapping,and fishing since I shot my first ducks and snared my first rabbits at age 12 that was 43 years ago and the thrill of hunting has never left me. My favorite is big game, moose and not as much now days the Caribou although getting very scarce are still hunted by some. I have hunted big game every year since 1979 when I got my first moose license it's either moose or bear nowdays but our group has a license every year and I get a couple of quarters. My wife is my partner and my best hunting buddy she is my assistant when we get a moose or caribou down and we don't have to speak she knows every move to make without talking about it. Also the rest of our crew are as good my brother and his wife and son they all know what to do. We have 5 people in our group and we get a license every year.

 I plan to hunt the coyote as soon as I get my new rifle up and running. I used to hunt ducks and geese years ago but the old body is not as good as it used to be and I only shoot them with a camera nowdays but you duck hunters can still give her with my blessing.

I still snare a few rabbits for the pot and I get a few trips a year hunting with my buddy and his dog that's fun.

I am also a gun nut and own or have owned thousands over the years and I can still hold my own on the range with rifle, shotgun and especially pistol although I don't shoot in competitions any more.

Greetings:

Glad to have a local site to join.

Getting back into the sport after a long absence.  I have purchased several new firearms, joined the rod & gun club and started reloading.  Having a lot of fun and getting ready to retire. My next move is pistol competition, probably IDPA.  I take my restricted course in May and have picked out my first pistol.  The word is that at least two indoor ranges are opening up in St. John's this year. 

The wife thinks I am having a second childhood and she is right.  I also RV and trouting is on for this summer.  As soon as the weather improves I will be out flicking the trout flies and feeding the black flies.
