We haven't got into dress and deportment yet, but can we bring this back to The Big Game Bird Hunter?
Just curious if he has been replaced yet?

Well, we now know at least two CAF bases that promote hunting as a sport among members of the Officer's Mess.
But, hunting doesn't promote teamwork as much. It's generally a solitary endeavor. If you're a bad shot hunting big game, it would certainly promote cardiovascular fitness.

That's what the backup helicopter is for.Hunting is a solitary sport until you shoot a 1600lb moose in bog.

My Dad was stationed in Lahr in the early 70s and ended up running the senior hockey league. Two teams in Lahr and two in Baden. It was pretty good hockey and the Arrowhead arena in Lahr was usually pretty full for the games as I remember.I was told that in 4 CMBG, almost every army unit had a coy/sqn composed of hockey players or guys who excelled in sports. These guys devoted themselves to sports and to were trained to compete to win in the annual 4 CMBG sports competition and hockey championships. I didn't believe until I was part of a coy(-) sent over to augment 4 Svc Bn, back when there was a 4 CMBG, for a Corps Ex. One of the first things the CO asked me was who were the Bn hockey players. Sure enough two of my guys were posted to 4 Svc Bn the following year.
Petawawa was never the same...I just spit out my coffee lol you owe the King a keyboard lol
I think the story says duck season also wasn't even open, but not sure if he actually hit anything to be charged with poaching.Is there even a hunting season open in Ont right now ? Or is this poaching too ?
If you can't order helicopters to transport you and your chief of staff to jack deer in the training area with personal firearms, what's the point in being base commander at all?
Reminds me of the time I was sitting in the mess in Shilo having a beer - yes, there were times I drank alone in those days - when Carl Gustafson came in wearing his winter whites covered from head to foot in blood (In Manitoba hunters had to wear white) and asked me if I'd help him drag a deer out of the bush. I did. Dug around in the gut pile for the heart and found Carl had pretty much shredded it with a direct hit.Hunting is a solitary sport until you shoot a 1600lb moose in bog.

It was a lot lighter than that moose, but point taken.

We don’t actually know what else he may have done to the duck. He had to have a good reason for trying to shoot it so recklessly.The DLN courses must be working, at least these charges are not sexual in nature. I think this is a step in the right direction, but more work still needs to be done.
I only had deer heart once at a game dinner - it was stuffed with mushrooms and quite good. No idea if it was soaked in milk first.Ugh deer heart. Yes please. Do you speak it in milk for a while first ?

Army ‘CLUE’: It was…BGen Douglas…in the training area…from a Kiowa…I remember a story of the Base Commander of Petawawa involved in a moose hunting incident. Helicopters, and other DND equipment used. late 80s I think. Maybe some one here has more information that can be shared
