I would say right around 2500 US would be a reasonable expectation. The price of puttting a vaulted ceiling in your house, so it will fit, might be a little more.

I don't have any in Ontario or Quebec but I can recommend an outfitter in Manitoba who will guarantee you a 300 lb + bear in the fall. I have hunted with him past 2 years in spring and he has a ton of bear. Sightings every day. He advertises as a 6 day hunt but he always gives me as many days...

I just returned from MB as well. Tough weather last week. Wind gusts to 30 mph every day hunting. Nighttime temps about 6 degrees F above freezing. Not very ideal bear weather. Managed to only scratch together a 250 lb for me and a 220 pound blonde phase for my father-in-law. Nice to see...

Getting on a plane tonight to head to Canada. Going to far northern Manitoba for the second year in a row. I've been dreaming about teeth and claws for 2 weeks straight now. Have the .444 Marlin and the bug headnet all packed up. Good luck to everyone.

I went to the range this afternoon with my Browning BAR 7 mm rem mag. My first 20 or so shots went perfectly. Every one punching within a couple inches of the bullseye at 100 yards. I switched ammuntion after the first 20 shots, to a bullet with a plastic ballistic tip and then my shots...

So I moved to Louisiana about 5 years ago from Wisconsin and to be honest I never imagined that I would be out hunting gators some day. Luckily the Louisiana Wildlife started a public alligator lotter hunt. So this year I put in for my first tags and I ended up being drawn to hunt an area...

Almost forgot part 2... would you carry a 45-70 govt or the 7mm rem mag if given the choice?

Kelly, do you have a bullet preference for bear? I was going to go with the 175 gr. Trophy Bonded Bear Claw out of my 7mm rem mag.

Yep... still definitely NOT pets. I'm still not convinced that people are the most intelligent animals on the planet.

My new conquest 3-9X40 should be arriving today. I will try to get to the range and post a review after I get it mounted and zeroed.

I don't think that I would ever swap hunts across an ocean, the legalities, bartering, time requirements and risk of the unknown would preclude me from attempting it. That being said, I would have little trouble with trading hunts in Canada or USA as long as land use, licenses and lodging has...
