WY Mud Roads
I did an antelope hunt in Eastern Montana after rain. Absolutely impassable. I drove about 100 or 200 yards, got turned around and got the heck out of there. I assume that parts of Wyoming are obviously similar. Nightmare stuff ... Bah!- The Long Hunter

Hunting with Bill O'Connell
Some years back I did some antelope hunting with Bill O'Connell of Bozeman down by Roundup. Heck of a fine fellow and a big elk hunter along with various other game. He used horses a lot and him and his son Cody always did well in the high country hunts. Bill ran Cowboy Heaven internet web...- The Long Hunter

Got My Bear from the Taxidermist
Well done. A beautiful bear. I shot a brown bear in Alaska a few years ago and the shipping to Canada cost a reasonable $400. The paperwork -a stupid $2,100. If I had known that about 6 different outfits were going to gouge me, I would have had the bear rugged in Alaska and gone up there to pick...- The Long Hunter

Lack of ammo going to be a problem?
I have not noticed a shortage up here in Alberta. Most of our stuff is from the U.S. so maybe I should look a bit closer. Good luck .- The Long Hunter

Which OTC species has eluded you the longest?
Never shot a goat in B.C. I did shoot a seal on one trip so maybe I should have been hunting higher up the mountain.- The Long Hunter

DIY Canada
Lots of Americans come up to hunt waterfowl and pheasants. DIY. The guided white tail and mule deer hunts are very expensive. Cheaper to go to Namiba and hunt kudu! Non resident aliens are not allowed to get into the draws and can not hunt by themselves. Lots of these bird hunters are very...- The Long Hunter

Looks like I got an Oryx tag...
Good on you! I have hunted a lot of oryx in Namibia. They are spectacular looking animals and absolutely delicious. Two things that I learned about the gemsbok. One is that their vitals are situated further front than one might expect. I learned this the hard way by shooting an oryx behind the...- The Long Hunter

Update--Should I Trade In My Semi-Auto For a Side-by-Side
My Benelli SBE is probably the best gun for hunting that I have certainly ever owned. i have only used Stoegers once and that was hunting doves and ducks in Uruguay. With the high volume shooting they did cause us too many problems and I came away with no thoughts of ever buying one. I have...- The Long Hunter

And we're off!
That is so interesting. I always skin my Canadian deer the same day .. and the meat dries out and turns dark, of course. I never could figure out how to stop that from happening. The truth that you stated surely is a good clue for me to try to figure it all out!- The Long Hunter

Hi, from the Great White North
Thank you so much for the great welcome. Boomerusaf asked for hunting stories. My grade one teacher wrote on my report card, ' Richard loves to tell hunting stories and his English is much improved.' I was hunting Freeze Out Lake with a friend who was the Biologist (from Billings) for the...- The Long Hunter

Hi, from the Great White North
I just joined up on this hunter forum this morning. I live in Alberta but have hunted a lot in Montana for waterfowl and antelope over the years. I love Montana and all you folks are blessed to live there. I have hunted with Bill O'Connell of Bozeman years ago but have lost touch with this fine...- The Long Hunter
