    Hunting, Technology, and a little Reflection

    https://podcasts.apple.com/za/podcast/ep-596-easy-isnt-the-point-nmo-part-2/id1059853765?i=1000739895481 The latest Beyond the Kill podcast is an excellent conversation around the complexities of technology and hunting. This is something I've been increasingly thinking about in recent years...

    Sako 90 series and Kimber 84 M/L

    Greetings all. The new Sako 90 series has caught my eye - but I have yet to have the opportunity to see one "in the flesh". Hoping to rectify that in the near future. In the meantime was wondering if any Kimber owners out there had any feedback around the operation, ergonomics, etc. compared...

    The classic magnums - will they see a renaissance?

    I'm recovering from surgery and thus spending a lot more time browsing the information superhighway to keep sane. It's interesting to see how many 7mm Rem Mag and 300 Win Mag rifles are on the used market. Some combination of the aging hunters for whom those cartridges were the "go to" and...

    Gobble gobble Spring Turkey 2025

    Wild turkey report from north of the border. With foot surgery scheduled for May 7th (our season runs April 25 - May 31) I would have to be efficient with my time. In addition to hopefully filling my own tag I was committed to helping my 14 year old nephew harvest his first bird in his third...

    Tales from the Ontario Big Woods - 2024 edition

    100% agree on hunting fresh sign. Even then it is hard to get eyes on them between the rugged terrain and very thick cover.

    Tales from the Ontario Big Woods - 2024 edition

    You have to become ok with rarely actually seeing deer. Most days I see exactly zero deer.

    Chasing Elk - Opinions Sought

    My wife is also taking a semester off work and we have a couple shared trips planned as well. She is not a hunter, but is an avid hiker/climber/skier and we're likely heading to Patagonia and the Canadian Rockies together for a couple trips during our time off. I don't think I would have the $...

    Chasing Elk - Opinions Sought

    Appreciate the perspective and it is one that would make sense for most, but with my work schedule I pretty much have to push in the chips. There is no way I can hunt the west before 2027 and it would be 2031 (the next time I can hopefully afford another semester long unpaid leave) after that...

    Chasing Elk - Opinions Sought

    I'm a Canadian (Ontario) high school teacher planning to head to the western archery elk woods in Fall 2027. Why 2027? I'll be taking a semester off from work (only way long hunting trips are viable) so conceivably have the entire month of September to hunt. I'll be driving my F-150 out so...

    Tales from the Ontario Big Woods - 2024 edition

    I've done some deer hunting in the northern Adirondacks as well. ADK wilderness areas are another level of remote and roadless - although the deer up here seem to be quite a bit heavier overall on average.

    Tales from the Ontario Big Woods - 2024 edition

    Back again for my annual big woods deer hunting recap from north of the border - this is the 2024 edition. I hunt on large tracts of public land in Eastern/Central Ontario. This is classic big woods country - thick lowland conifers, plentiful swamps/creeks, mixed hardwood ridges, rough terrain...

    Gun safe dehumidifier question

    I’ve been using a simple Stack On portable dehumidifier in my gun safe for several years. When charging it yesterday I noticed this yellow residue along the unit. Any idea what it might be or if it means it is time for replacement? Thanks in advance.

    Tales from the Ontario Big Woods - 2023 edition

    No, not legally required. I've got all the gear to do the gutless method and will likely move toward that more in the future.

    Tales from the Ontario Big Woods - 2023 edition

    Folks have enjoyed my annual big woods deer hunting recaps in the past so this is the 2023 edition. I hunt on large tracts of public land in Eastern/Central Ontario. This is classic big woods country - thick lowland conifers, plentiful swamps/creeks, mixed hardwood ridges, rough terrain - and...

    Non-Resident Hunting: A Canadian Perspective

    I’m pretty much solely a big game hunter so not 100% sure - but I believe Canadian residents can simply buy a small game license for most of the species listed. Not sure about if one was not a Canadian citizen though. Each province/territory does have their own rules.

    Non-Resident Hunting: A Canadian Perspective

    Believe it or not, it is an improvement overall to the system we had before. Basically people were stacking the previous system with huge groups (we're talking 15 plus hunters on each tag) as the system was heavily slanted toward rewarding that. Also, most people don't realize how vast Ontario...

    Non-Resident Hunting: A Canadian Perspective

    I'm not sure what the exact residency period is in British Columbia - but I suspect it is at least a full year. British Columbia has the best mountain hunting in the world arguably. But there is a firestorm of politics around First Nations, extraction industries, etc. that have reduced access...
