My involvement in the hunting and fishing area

I am involved in various activities in the field of H & F but in fact, this desire to want to get involved is part of my daily life for many years. You will find at the end of this page the summary of my other implications.

Regarding the field of H & F, the turning point was when I became PESCOF instructor in 2003. In Quebec, it is the agency Quebec Federation of Anglers and Hunters (FédéCP.com) which is responsible for the dissemination of courses obtaining hunter certificate and / or the acquisition of the certificate of firearm handling. Having passed all certification stages, I received the accreditation for all of these courses : CFSC (Canadian Firearm Safety Course), IHF (Introducing Hunting with Firearm), IHBC (Introducing hunting with Bow and Crossbow) and hunting wild turkey seminar. For these modules, I am bilingual instructor. Moreover, since 2010, I am the regional PESCOF coordinator (Laval-Montreal-Montérégie), I am responsible for a group of about 70 instructors. All these responsibilities are done as a volunteer. Finally, for the FédéCP, I take care of the Mentoring web site for our regional, I am vice-president on the board of directors of my regional and I am also a member of the provincial board for Sécurité Nature.

In the summer of 2015, I became ProStaff for Elite Belt.  Elite designs and manufactures sling for firearms. With these belts, the gun is faced us, which allows us to have at any time a free hand and, via its Quick clipping system, it allows us to support our firearm quickly. It is with pride that I work with this product.

In 2017, I became Prostaff for Les Produits Extrêmes CG. This company offers a range of high quality products that are extremely effective in attracting game while being practical for the hunter. Their products are made from the most natural and nutritious products possible to ensure the maintenance of good health in the game that consumes it.

In 2021, I became Prostaff for Excalibur crossbow.  Their recurve crossbow are the most popular in the world, I am very proud to be a part of this team.
