Coast to Coast Outdoors Episode 9.


 


A bit about Gary Geddes.


Background: Muzzy Hunter and Outdoors Enthusiast Hunting/Fishing


Introduced to hunting and fishing by my father who hunted, fished
and trapped in NS.


Family moved to northern Alberta and my first hunting experiences
in my early teens were ducks, geese, partridge and prairie
chickens. Fishing included perch, pike (jackfish), walleye,
trout, etc. Outdoorsman paradise!


In my late teens moved on to deer (Whitetails and Mule) then
fortunate to have a “get out of school” card for a week in (grade
10 and 11) to hunt moose with my father. School initially said
“no” but my father said “yes”. Those moose hunts introduced me to
an activity that still excites me.


Fast forward - moved back to NS and as a young man spending my
vacation hunting deer in the backwoods of Guysborough County and
our camp behind the airport. Marriage and kids curtailed my
hunting somewhat but over the last 10 years or so the passion has
been re-kindled.


Being retired now I spend most of the fall in the woods scouting
and hunting whitetails. In the spring wetting the line for trout
and strip bass.


I generally hunt with a Muzzy as I enjoy the black powder
experience. I have also set up a NS muzzy fb group to share info,
pics and advise. Next goal is a NL moose hunt with the
muzzleloader.


But an annual NL moose hunt is by far what I enjoy the most and
I’m totally addicted. Since 2010 I’ve been able to go each year
except two. After returning from NL I’m already watching moose
videos, practicing my moose calls and thinking about another
hunt. I’ve been fortunate to have had some pretty interesting
moose experiences from some rugged trips into camps and the hunts
themselves. I am booked again for this year and am considering
using my ML which would be an awesome experience.


But ..... it still beats setting up a tent at Lesser Slave Lake
in Alberta in the cold and snow and packing out quarters but then
again I was much younger.
