    Is this a crazy idea? - Anyone interested in an observer to accompany you on an Elephant or Leopard hunt?

    The way I grew up in the hunting world, hunting was almost always a social event. My father, who was a terribly poor hunter for anything but ducks and geese, would go to every deer, moose or bear hunt he could just to hang out with the guys, and they loved having him around because he enjoyed...

    To be honest with you, this is pretty much a political play rather than substantive. To my eye the space between most versions of the Castle Doctrine, and the current Canadian law on self defense is paper thin.

    I think you are quite right for visiting hunters at the moment. Unless you were dead set on using a .460 Weatherby you are fine bringing your hunting guns to Canada for a visit. These policies are not remotely directed at visiting hunters. There are profoundly troubling aspects of Canada's...

    First safari - Airline to fly and why?

    I have never had a bad experience flying on Emirates and I do it fairly often. They have the best economy class I have flown, and they have a great reputation for being on time and their flights almost never get cancelled or delayed. Plus if you choose to stop over for a few days Dubai is a...

    First Post

    Welcome aboard. Your life story is a little like mine. Hunted a lot when I was young, life got in the way, and now I am settled plan to put hunting back near the top of the priority list and get out there. Hoping your plan works out and brings you much joy.

    What Are Your 2026 Hunt Plans?

    The Sportsman show in Toronto in March. Turkey in April. Bear in late May or June, locally. First African hunt in the fall in SA for Buffalo and some PG. Perhaps some upland bird when I get back. Thinking about getting my first wolf late this year or early next as well.

    Particularly unfortunate coming from the mind of President Bonespur.

    That is why I think she has potential, her track record in Florida. I think that the current Whitehouse atmosphere makes it hard for her to do things the way she wants to, just like I think Rubio would be handling things very different if he had more leash.

    Well I don’t know about liberal law institutions but that is likely not the reason that the DOJ is in the dumper. Since Trump has replaced a ton of prosecuters with inexperienced loyalists, the rate of getting grand jury indictments has fallen to record lows and the number of cases getting...
