Welcome to the forum and North America from western North Carolina USA. We will almost be neighbors, maybe 2500 miles or just over 4000 kilometers between us. All kidding aside, good luck. You are making a big move.

Hello from NZ,

I am a keen hunter and get out as often as I can here chasing red deer as well as feral pigs and goats. I am in the process of moving to Alberta, Canada (wifey is Canadian) and I'm looking forward to connecting with the black powder community over there.

Currently shooting a CVA percussion in 45cal PRB, I have a traditions flinter in 50cal waiting for me in Canada.

Liveing in the South Island but knowing BC & Alberta you can expect a lot more winter & seasons & tags ect for game other wise its much the same as NZ you can factor in Bear & Mouse .What part of Alberta ? there are some keen muzzleloaders down South of Red Deer .

So did Mz. Adearn let you guys keep muzzleloaders, at least? Canada should be nice in Alberta.

 

[BPKiwi]

Aye. That's the Pukatea

Haha Rogee, I'm in Anakiwa, not far from you at all.

Yep, fortunately I was not affected by the buyback scheme as my guns are all bolt, pump action or single shot. However, I have friends who had to fight tooth and nail to hold onto rifles that were essential for their work (commercial goat cullers etc)

Morena BP Kiwi.
Nice one another sounds fella.
It's a little ironical... my better 1/2 is a Canuk.
Nanaimo is her whkapapa.
Lovely place . Not unlike our homes around here.
Never did shoot there but went fishing with bears on other side of river. They were happy enough over there until I caught a fish & they seemd a little put out with me taking there kai
You never saw a Maori scrambling up a bank as fast as this old Koro.
Gezz louise they can move those guys.
Enjoy your time in Canada. Great place and lovely folks

Imagine being in a bar, and a lass asks what a fella does, and he says, "Oi! I'm a professional goat culler!"

I'll be moving to the Rocky Mountain House area, not far from Red Deer.

Sent you a PM Rudyard

In NZ that isn't so odd I was a professional Deer Culler & had trapped Opossums the winter before in 1968.
