I am from Canada. Taking a firearm to the states is difficult and takes time in advance. You can show up at the Canadian border and be through with hunting firearms in 15 minutes. You can also get a licence to buy firearms here fairly easily. None of this is easily done in the US .

Buy chain that truckers use to tie loads. Half inch stuff. Our range has used the same chain on our steel for 5 years and still good. From 100 to 500 yards up to .460 weatherby .

Could skins be rolled for shipping? Might take more room but perhaps not

A hunter killed a black bear here in Saskatchewan 25 years ago. The publicity got a law passed prohibiting such activities. Long before that a hunter fell into a bear den. He survived but said you could not believe how strong a 200 lb bear was.

Very true. A factory that would take years to get approved elsewhere is started in a month. A hydro dam that we would squabble over for decades begins in years. Our freedom sometimes holds us back.

Flat water Bill. You mention handguns . Canada gave 1000 AR15 to the Afghan army and you know where they ended up also.

It is strange how some gun shops seem intent on driving away business. The worst is walking in to a shop with the old gang hanging around the counter. They all stop talking and look like you’re interfering in something. The owner doesn’t even ask what you would like. I just walk out and never go...

Killing coyotes and fox with a snowmobile is illegal here. But people still do it and are sickeningly excited by it. I know it has been done during a family oriented snowmobile rally. Fair chase isn’t a term they would recognize.

There was a Canadian outfitter doing bird hunts in Cuba. He has sold the business and I don’t know the new name. It could be the one mentioned in a previous post : Transworld

The good reason the outfitter had was that he didn’t have to pay the guide. My wording was poor.

As a guide /outfitter in Canada I have also seen extremes. I don’t think the outfitter needs a tip , even if also guiding. He owns the business and should be making money. A guide could possibly be tipped. But not hugely. I know an outfitter that did not pay guides and expected them to get...

A question: I read that your moose population is dropping. From a harvest of 100,000 to 70,000. Is this so? And why? Welcome from Canada

Welcome from Saskatchewan. Practically neighbours .

I’m a life member . One of the first 500 , so quite a while. Have been to both Reno and Las Vegas shows but it has been a while. No chapter close in Saskatchewan.
