Fantastic hunt and report! I was just in Croatia for the first time last month. You live in a beautiful part of the world!

Couldn’t agree more. On my way to Williston in two weeks for some bird hunting.

That sounds ominous!

Dang dude, you’re a machinist and your wife is a nurse??? You seriously need to look at Alaska. My wife is a dental hygienist. When we moved to Fairbanks in 2003, she was offered $100k/yr to go back to work. Medical professionals and skilled trades do really well in the last frontier.

Oh don’t be a weenie, I ran an oil refinery in Fairbanks, went 4 weeks where it never got up to 40 below… but it’s a dry cold…

That’s not an issue with a slope job if you can handle the schedule.

I ran oil refineries and ag chemical complexes for many decades. If you can handle a 2 on 2 off schedule, you can live anywhere in the US and work the slope. If you want to get out of the machinist work, pick up I&E, process tech, crane operator, etc.. Alaska pays the highest wages for...

Very sorry to hear about your loss. Losing a child is one of the toughest things we can go through.

Listen to this man! I had a project manager who thought he would stay in Kenya with his wife for the birth of their first child. I vetoed the idea. This is not a place to take your pregnant wife. If all goes well, fine, but if something goes sideways you do not have the availability for...

I handload all center fire rifle cartridges from .22 Hornet to .375 with the exception of high volume AR fodder (5.56 and 6.5 Grendel). Rifles fed range from Savage to Rigby and some pretty nice custom M70’s and No 1’s. I handload all my target shotgun loads inclusive of 2 1/2” 12 ga. I do...

I was on Lake St Clair a lot in the ‘70’s. I’m sure you are aware that even then you were supposed to provide a radio notification to customs if you were a Canadian going into a US port or vice versa? When you radioed in you were typically given clearance, but on occasion they would divert...

You picked the two worst airports and the two worst airlines in NA and then threw a gun in the mix. I go out of my way to avoid all of the above at almost any cost, and that has taken some doing as I ran a US division of a Canadian based Fortune 500 company. I have even gone to the lengths of...

My buddy’s in RSA call them tail gunners hats. I didn’t dig too far on their meaning…

Best of luck!

I’ve hunted with Marius twice and consider he and Florin friends. I am glad you had such a great experience!
