How do you guys go on these cool hunts?

[swavescatter]

My effective rate is about 37%, and when you factor in stable genius 15% tariffs that looks like a bargain!

What percentage of your paycheck goes towards taxes?

Never mind, I just looked it up. 40% annual income taxes, no thank you! Plus, you guys pay way too much for fuel and beer. Or as I like to call it, fuel and fuel.

Well, on a single income I own my house and support a stay at home wife and two kids and still get to spend 4-6 weeks a year hunting animals most people on this site dream of all for the cost of fuel, I’d say it’s a fair trade IMO.

Maybe I’ll go shoot a stone sheep in a few months to balance things out with the high taxes.

Or you guys can just keep spending the equivalent of an American annual salary to come here and shoot a single animal that’s fine by me/us as well lol

How do you guys achieve the time freedom and the financial freedom to go on these cool hunts.

The time freedom part is the hardest to achieve, but consider some type of contract work. Traveling nurse, welding, NDE, or other trade that works contract to contract. Any of those three can easily make 100k a year while being off half of the year.
We sold everything and hit the road full-time in an RV, wife, 3 kids, and a dog. We did more adventures in the last 5 years than we would have in our life taking one or two trips a year.

Not trying to get into a pissing match with you here, just saying that I think your taxes, beer, and fuel are too expensive. Never had a need to go to Canada and pay the high prices, because living in Alaska I can get all those tags for free. We don’t have a couple of those species here, but we do have muskox, and bison, brown bear/grizzly. We can kill multiple of some, but only one of others. If I wanna go on the cheap, I can also hunt almost all those tags for only the cost of fuel. Oh, I can hunt all of them with a pistol as well, just sayin.

No pissing match. I’d happily have more like minded folks move here and improve the province / country !!!

Putting $25 a week turns into $1300 ~ a year that you can save for how many years you like to go on that lifetime hunt. Or you use it as a yearly get away for a hunting week. This is what i do go on an out of state hunt every year (try to) with my wife's blessing. It is the only hunting I get to do because of work/life schedule. When the hunts over i spend that time thinking about the next adventure. I don't need to kill stuff for success. I love listening to the woods come alive early morning and early evening. I live in Florida and miss the change in tree colors of fall so I get that too. The only part that sucks is the drive home. Give it a try

I think the easiest solution is just to move up to BC here.

Every year over counter general tag you can hunt

1 mule deer buck
2 black bear
2 white tail deer either sex
1 elk
1 moose
1 sheep (take your pick, Dall. Rocky. California. Stone)
1 goat
1 caribou
10 island black tail
1 cougar
1 lynx
1 bobcat
1 wolverine
Unlimited wolves and coyotes.



We unfortunately lost grizzly a few years ago but will hopefully get it back.

That’s every year. No draw. I haven’t hunted less than 4 different species in a season thus far. On that note spring bear starts in 4 weeks!

My average year for the past 5 has been

10 day spring bear In may
15 day moose/elk combo hunt every September
10 day rut mule deer hunt every November

Sprinkle in a whole bunch of week night white tail hunts and we are talking.
‘22 was spent chasing sheep for 0$ and he’s looking at my right now.

Move to BC!

WOW!
