    What is the dumbest thing that someone has ever asked/said while you were hunting?

    My brother is not a hunter, but spends a lot of time canoeing in the wilderness in Northern Ontario. One trip he comes back and excitedly tells me they spotted a mule deer. I ask, a mule deer, eh? Not many of them in Ontario, how do you know it wasn't a regular old whitetail? He says well, it...

    What is the Oldest Rifle You Actually Hunt Big Game with ?

    '53 pre 64 in .270. It had a 6x weaver in these photos but it has a glossy Leupold 2-7 on it now. It has a brass compass in the stock. Cool old rifle.

    Drahthaar team rounding out nicely

    Here is my nine year old girl Wilma, I love her to bits, and she's been an outstanding companion and hunting partner. She's still going strong and will hunt herself ragged if I don't stop her, incredible amount of drive. We had thought about adding a pup, but ultimately decided to wait. She...

    Help: Nebraska Quail/Pheasant

    We were thinking along the same lines, looking at SW Nebraska and NW Kansas for some January pheasants. My bearded lady needs a break from the snow.

    Fur clothing?

    Have a look at the Inuit Anoraks that are generally made of seal fur. The one's I've seen in use were more like a hooded poncho of fur, and could be slipped on and off over top of other layers to account for activity level. Generally during exertion, a breathable cloth anorak would be used, but...

    Where does Randy purchase his deerskin mittens at?

    These are a bit extreme for hunting, but they're lifesavers for ice fishing, snowmobiling, chopping wood etc all winter. Handmade mittens from local Cree craftspeople. This particular pair I was given in Fort Severn, they're brain-tanned caribou hide with polar bear fur trim, an old trapper...

    In Ireland May 2020

    Fishing is huge in Ireland. Some great trout fishing are Ennis and around Cork and Kerry, also up towards Sligo though I haven't spent much time there. There is no license but there are local clubs which may have their own regulations. Best to get in touch with one of the clubs in the area you...

    Accommodations in Casper, Wyoming

    We stayed in Casper on the way in and out of Wyoming this October. The La Quinta was very nice and reasonable price. The Ramada was maybe the worst hotel I've ever stayed in. Smelt like someone had smoked two packs of cigarettes in the room the night before and the smoke detector was even...

    First Antelope

    I didn't find any of them particularly smelly either, but the cheek patch on a buck definitely has a unique oily aroma, my wife said it reminded her of bergamot.

    Bino’s for a guy with glasses

    Hey, I went through exactly this predicament, looking for a pair of binos that I can just put up to my glasses and not have to keep taking them off to glass. The pair I ended up settling on as the best for my purposes was the Meopta Meopro 8x42s. Excellent long eye relief at 20mm. I didn't find...

    Love the Tikka T3X, but not a fan at all of the safety mechanism

    More expensive, but the Sakos have a three-position safety. I'm very used to my old model 70, so the Tikka safety has been bugging me as well. Just have to be extra careful with muzzle and trigger control I guess.

    Anyone been on a good guided Sandhill Crane hunt?

    My buddy is out guiding in Saskatchewan this fall, from the pics he sends it looks like they shoot a lot of cranes.

    Vortex Viper 8x42 HD

    8x42 Vipers, excellent condition including strap and padded case. The glass is spotless and clear, and the binos are super clean. Couple of raindrops on them in the pics. The 8x42s have 20mm of eye relief, so they're one of the best options for those of us who wear glasses. Selling because I...

    Tires....again.

    F150 in Northerm Ontario, running lots of snow, gravel bush roads and daily highway commute. I had General Grabber AT2s and they were great, weren't expensive and lasted a long time. Still on the 2000 F150 that I took off the road at 450K and is now our farm beater. New truck had Michelin LTX...
