  1. If targeting fish at Mcvinnie, you'll have better luck going for the walleye that worked there way in the system. They're not in large numbers but they tip the scale quite high. The fishing is really hit or miss there. Best is to get out in the belly boat or toon and fish as deep as you can.

  2. Anybody bother to contact any of these people?? http://www.forestry.ualberta.ca/ContactUs.aspx]http://www.forestry.ualberta.ca/ContactUs.aspx[/url] They're the ones running the project

    Taco,

     

    Surely you know its better to burn the witch before the trial. It removes all need to worry about whether it was a witch at all.

     

    Curious to see what the results are myself. Any learnin' is a good learnin', even if it stings a bit.

  3. Sad part is I bet most of you couldn't tell which parts had been logged in the past in the Castle even though many of you have been through the old "virgin" forests.

     

    I'm not for any further logging in the area as long as they will let it burn a time or two before disease and build up index make for irrepairable damage. But thats just not going to happen unfortunately.

  4. What's the big deal? Tell me ONE freaking legitimate reason not to wear orange and maybe I'll get it, but so far I'm really having a hard time understanding the reasoning.

     

    Cheers.

     

    Simply put places that require orange still have hunters being shot each year. Wearing orange does nothing to protect you other than make your clothing clash. Some provinces have higher numbers of hunters being shot over the years despite wearing orange. If orange was capable of preventing people from being shot than places like Saskatchewan, and New Brunswick (to pick on a couple) would not have anyone being shot due to their requirements of wearing orange. Unfortunately this is not the case!

     

    It's the so called hunters, not the clothing in my opinion that are the problem.

     

    You wanna wear orange have at 'er. But my choice to not wear orange does not make me any less responsible than the guy who does.

  5. so at $1000/ticket all you get are the blue hairs who sit on their hands the whole game. brilliant.

     

    I guess GM place will be a library for ther finals. shhhhhh wouldn't want to disrupt the game by cheering.

     

    Been to many quiet flames games in my time (not poking fun just saying). Canuck fans are just as loud as any other teams, the whole hype is due to the commentators making such comments in specific points of the games that obviously didn't require cheering.

  6. Not a word of a lie, Andrew (drbulltrout) dines on these in the summer for a quick snack. Like dryfly said, cook them. I've been proven wrong about the taste of them last summer.

    unless Andy is working a trapline or the quarry is ground squirrels (not the tree loving ones) it is illegal to kill chipmunks and squirrels as they are considered fur bearing animals. But knowin' Andy he wouldn't poach, especially after you see what he does to illegal baitfisher's he finds on his journeys.

     

    When I lived in Calgary we had zoo escapees make a home in our attic. buggers chewed through chicken wire twice to get back to their new found home. A leg trap did the trick on both of them and fortunately for me that meant more tying materials.

     

     

  7. Jeffro and Company,

     

    Per your question collecting artifacts from the surface, I've re-read the act a few times now, and it states that all resources belong to the Crown. Therefore, it is illegal to collect these resources from public land. If you find something on the surface on your private land, it is still property of the Crown, but you can elect to take care of it (including any necessary curation, etc.) on behalf of the Crown. Alternatively, if you don't wish to take care of it on behalf of the Crown, you can send it to Alberta Culture and Community Spirit in Edmonton.

     

    Hope this helps clarify things!

    I was under the impression that although it belongs to the crown you can still become a steward of said artifact/historical resource. An example that comes to mind would be the collection of ammonite/ammolite. It is legal (at least I thought so) to collect provided you do not have to dig it out of the ground, but you can only sell it with the appropriate disposition. Ammonite and its gem stone are primarily found on crown land (unless you go to the mines or a few private land locations).

     

    If this is not the case (and I am only pressing the issue further to ensure I as well as thousands of other folks down south aren't in contradiction of the law) than I will be sure to advise others of the rules of collection.

  8. Oh oh, one day I was wading in the Bow. I looked down and swore the rock at my feet was an old native american axe head. I took it home, am I in a precarious position now?

    surface collection is allowed in Alberta although there are some gray areas in the legalities. I'm not 100% clear on the rules with crown land, but from what I've been told from our Arky's at the company I work for it is ok, just not very moral from their standpoint.

     

    Tightline should be able to clarify if I'm totally out to lunch without my wallet.

  9. I didn't know Shaughnessy Ab was miles from civilization although living there it just may seem like it

    Shaughnessy sure ain't but doing winter field work in the booming metropolis of Anzac or Ft. Mackay sure can be chilly. Nothing like frozen grey colored camp food to keep your spirits up while out chasing critters. Best would probably be doing stream monitoring near Conklin when it was a balmy -58 without the windchill. Needless to say you didn't stop moving for long.
