We all know that us canadians are far from perfect [ well I might be close  ] Americans are just like us some good some bad this is apparent when they visit our country. Unfortunatly I have seen mostly the bad, I had a image of Americans and it was not good based on my previous experience with Americans on fishing and hunting trips, but last years trip changed my image of Americans. This is the group of Americans that changed my mind, [ funny thing is this group of guys had the same thoughts about Canadians until they met my boys and I] these are the best Americans that I have ever met, a tight group of friends that included my boys and myself in their week at Lac Seul last year and this year with both groups getting something from the other. Pete the groups leader has been going to the lake for 40 years some times twice in 1 year [ fall hunting] this group shared their knowlage of the lake saving my group a whole lot of time in locating fish, these guys like to share good times we had many shore lunches together and some good times at the cabins, the camp definatly changed when they left for home. Some of you may not know that I stay for two weeks so I get to see the next group come in to camp [ not to many Canadians fish here] When this group pulled in you could tell things were going to be bad they got out of their trucks drunk, the one driver fell dropped his beer and commenced to curse a blue streak another let his poodle out and it started to run around barking like crazy then went to a can of garbage jumped at it to knock it over and ripped into it the owner thought it was funny, this dog barked all nite every nite [ my satilite boom box saved this dogs life] this group is a bunch of what I call poaching slobs they thru garbage in the water they also used two rods per person [why when I caught 44 walleye and lost 147 with one rod in one day] and kept far more than the legal limit. I seen this with my own eyes, I tasked them about it and I got blank stares and laughter one even waved at me like I was saying hello.[yes I reported them but as of when I left no C.O.s had shown up] I could have stepped up my response to their bull attitude a bit but like I said to my boys we were there for a good time not a fight.[ I have fist fought Canadian poachers] I would just like to say thanks to Pete and his group for changing my mind about Americans I now know they can be and are just like us the good and the bad. |

Like everywhere else you have your good, your band and your ugly. All you can hope for is the first out numbers the second. The third is in the eye of the beholder. |

I agree, Americans or not. We have some bad ones on our side of the border as well. |
