I have been on a number of driven hunts in the UK. I absolutely love it. A shoot with proper high birds is some of the most difficult shooting you will ever do. I am working on a driven partridge hunt in Portugal next year.

My biggest hesitation in hunting in Africa was hunting with a PH. I grew up on a farm in Canada and spent most of my career in Wyoming and Alaska. I had never hunted with a guide before going to Africa. This included whitetail, muley, sheep, caribou, black bear, brown bear, et al. My...

I spend most of my time on forestry and habitat work. My wife conscripted me to do some landscape work around the house.

Lovely rifle and a very fair price.

I’ll never understand the political desire to drive manufacturing offshore. I completely support letting markets work and allowing production to go where it is most efficient. However, this is way beyond that. It created artificial barriers to continued domestic manufacturing. This is...

A contributing factor in the South was the collapse of manufacturing, particularly in industries with a large blue collar workforce. The textile industry would be at the top of the list, a casualty of NAFTA. Although Bill Clinton eventually signed the legislation to implement this, HW signed...

I totally agree with you, his ego knows no bounds and he has had a negative effect on more than one election for the republicans. I find it interesting that many admit his impact on these elections but mock Canadians when they point out his negative impact on their election.

Welcome! I absolutely loved my time in your country! I look forward to your hunt reports.

That is absolutely false. Alberta crude is priced on the world market adjusted for quality and transportation costs to market. You don’t think that the oil companies would charge more for it if people would pay more for it??? Cold Lake competes for room in coking refineries with crudes like...

I agree on the travel. I’m 65 and refuse to sit in coach for any flight over 4 hours. On European trips I buy premium select and use global upgrades to fly delta one on the overnight eastbound legs.

I was certainly in that mode for half a dozen years. I’m now diversifying with Western US and European big game hunts. More than anything, I’m getting back to prioritizing my greatest hunting passion, wild birds (the wild part is key, I would just as soon shoot clays as preserve birds)...

Very interesting. We hunted Mururu with Len and my wife killed a bull that had a .375 bullet in it from a previous hunter of Len’s. I’ll ask him if it happened twice. It certainly is curious.

Clearly that is not going to happen. I am not sure our VP would be much different in that seat. I am really impressed with Rubio. I hope he is at the top of the ticket in our next election.

Except these ones hit what they are aiming at and have much greater range.

It would likely help if I included the pic.
