Just found out today that the 1/4 section we hunt in the bowzone was just sold for the gravel deposits it's sitting on  .I hate progress. They're already removing the over burden on the adjoining 1/4 and ours is going under in June. I guess the guy who owns the land is walking away with a few million.All the buildings are just going to be bulldozed and burned.A sad sad day in my books. |

You couldn't afford the land that surrounds Calgary,which makes up the bowzone.If everyone here got together to purchase a few acres in the bowzone we still couldn't afford the price.Land is very expensive.
It's not like I don't have any where to hunt,it was just nice to have that place so close to the city.I still prefer going to the mountains and hunting public land.

I know what you mean. My club is in the process of being cut for timber & sold for development. I live less than 5 miles from the entrance. Next year I am going to have to drive an hour to the club I am joining. At least I won't have to woirry about it being sold for development. It is in the Okeefenokee swamp.
