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.

JimP. Certainly a pain in the ass but you were allowed through with your gun. I show up the same to enter the states but I will be refused entry. Tens of thousands of people enter Canada every year with no issue. My point is that entering he US is more difficult. Can anyone explain how I...

I do not know. Ask your guys. But as recently as last summer a friend applied 5 times and was refused. There was always an issue with reloaded ammo or type of action. Like I said : much easier to come to Canada with a gun.

Yes your visitor licence restricts you to buying ammunition. BUT. You could , and many non residents do, get a firearm acquisition certificate and buy long guns. .

I read a lot on here about the problems of guns to Africa. How bout some of you complain to your U S government about how difficult it is to enter the states with a gun. You can show up unannounced at the Canadian border and be through in 30 minutes or less. A person has to have pre...

I am an outfitter. I have had several people say they want to be a guide. Being a guide is not like going hunting with buddies and getting paid . Hunting is a part of it but service is at least important. The guide remembers to fuel vehicles , feed horses and clean boats. Give guests a...

Similar situation. When I was 5 or 6 a rooster put the run on me. My grandmother caught it and held it underwater in the water trough for a while. Can’t remember the result but he didn’t bother me again.

Ten years oil exploration in Arctic and N Africa, then on to crop duster and bush pilot . Farming and outfitting till 10 years ago. Now only outfit. I think I will retire in three years at age 75.

I grew up on a farm with no electricity till I was seven. Then we had running water and lights. Some neighbours didn’t take electricity till mid sixties. Everyone still knew how to live with the old ways. The preppers of today are a joke. They think it would be a camping trip. Existence...

A knife is an article of a well dressed man. Along with a belt , button shirt and laced up boots. Try not to dress like a 10 year old.
