Busy March – Seminars And Hunting Trade Shows

© By Othmar Vohringer

I’ve been a bit tardy with blogging over the past few weeks. I have been very busy. March and April are always the busiest time of year for me.

It started with the Boat & Sportsmen’s Show at the TradeEx Centre in Abbotsford – The largest hunting and fishing show in British Columbia. This was my first year appearing with a whitetail deer and turkey hunting seminar at that show. It is something to travel all over North America for many years and then be given the opportunity to appear on a show on my own home turf. I enjoyed this event very much and going by the feedback the crowd seem to like my seminars.

On November 24, 2010 Chad Taylor, a Merritt resident, went out hunting near his home. He had no idea that on this day the hunting gods would smile upon him.

He drove all day along the roads and hiked for many miles without seeing any sign of deer. At one point during the day his hopes of tagging out sank like a stone when he drove past two hunters that had a deer on the ground. Like all real sportsmen Chad stopped and helped these hunters to load the deer into their truck and continued on his hunt with what remained of the day. Three hours later, after a long hike deep into the backcountry, the sun was beginning to sink low on the horizon. He was tired and ready to call it a day.
