Is your name really John Galt or are you using Ayn's alias? Your wife's name should be Dabny if you are using an alias. Who is John Galt, Mike

Hi daggaboy. You have done a wonderful and thoughtful job of compiling the reasons on why you are ALLOWED to hunt elephant. The reasons that you want to hunt elephant are very personal and they are your own. Congratulations on your up coming hunt. I hunted eles this spring (April our spring)...

I tend to agree with diamond hitch on his earlier comments. Personally, if I could only hunt one animal, it would be a bull elk with a bow in September. When I have been lucky enough to hunt Africa (3 times so far) It has been an experience that I wouldn't trade for anything. There are many...

I have just returned from zim and was told when I was there that John Sharpe hunts lions by tracking. I was also told that there are a few places where bushman are used in the Kalihari and no baits are nec. This is a long and time consuming method of hunting lions. I am going strictly on hearsay...

Macs, I hope I didn't offend you . My comments were not meant to be anti European. The german and british systems (and others) are quite different than most southern european systems. We in Canada have many things wrong with our systems and many things that are working well. I'm sure this can be...

welcome from another Canadian. I leave for Zimbabwe in 10 hours. PM me if you want some ideas for bowhunting S Africa. There are many great guys on this site and I know a couple who are not on this site yet. Good luck, Mike

Here is one Canadians view again. Phil is right about the CR act of 1977, and sestoppleman is correct in saying that Bush tried to put more manageable limits on Freddie and Fannie. It was a Democratic majority senate (Polosi and Frank and friends) who said that Bush was only trying to stop the...

I am a hunter education instructor in Manitoba Canada. Our hunter ed is similar to that in Alberta. I think our program is very effective and gives a thorough safety and firearms handling coarse. The other parts of the program only touches on wildlife management etc. but give a good start to a...

Hi Stretch We have the kindle in Canada. Great suggestion. Capstick's books are not available at this time but there are many other African hunting books available. I hope Kenyon gets your message. Cheers, Mike

Here is the viewpoint of one Canadian. Socialism does not work. I am a fiscal conservative and a social libertarian. We here in Canada have tried socialism and liberalism over the years and I feel that it has been a failure. With few exceptions, the market will work out what we want and need. We...

Hi Vanderlaan If you tell your PH that you want representative animals or better, he will let you know when to shoot. Most reputable PHs wouldn't want you to shoot inferior animals anyway. Look at lots of pictures on this site and in magazines. You will get a good feel for what is good and what...

WOW, thanks for everyone who is defending the producer. I don't have very many heroes in my life, but I have great respect for people who are successful in business, whatever that business might be. The people on this web-site give me great inspiration in a multitude of ways. When I see...

Hey RickB, Is that a snowmobile in your living room? Your wife is very tolerant. Cheers, Mike

You are right diamond hitch. Vic Toews has promised me personally that all records will be destroyed. Hopefully Charest in Quebec will be so busy trying to hold onto his job that this will slip right by. Diamondhitch,I am guessing by your site name that you are from the west, probably Alta...

Congratulations to my American friends. Please stay vigilant. We in Canada have just elected a government that has successfully repealed our long gun registry. It has cost the Canadian taxpayer over two billion dollars and not saved a single life. America has aprox. ten times our population so...
