Re: CBSA Enforcing Folding Knife Ban

So, those knives are illegal, that's why they can't be imported? I guess the next phase will be to charge every one in Canada who now has a folding knife in his possession. I guess that the Buck 110 Hunter that I gave to my son when he was 9 years old has to go to the smelter. That is, unless the po...

Re: Need some info

Two matters to keep in mind, assuming your shooting distance limit is 45 yards:

1. What is the approximate size of the kill zone of an elk?

2. What is the point of impact drop if you sight in for 20 yards but shoot at 45 yards?

Re: Da Bear!

Nice bear!
You got him in an area not that far from where I am. Too bad we didn't make a connection. I may have been able to put you into some lake trout, walleye or pike fishing. I am not an outfitter or guide, but might have been able to help.

Re: Affordable electronic muffs

We don't have turkeys here, Boo, so I guess i must be missing something. Are you telling us who are ignorant when it comes to turkey matters, that your turkeys are SOOO BIG, and SOOO LOUD, that you have to wear hearing protection??

You're not a Texan posing as a Canuck Ontarian, are you?

Well, thanks for clearing up that question! I was going to suggest “horizontal occupation “, but your answer is much better.

Re: Bleeding fish

A couple of nights ago I had to clean two walleye we caught. We had bled them immediately upon catching them. One thing that was definite when it came to cleaning, was how much less mess when the fillet was cut from the body. We are still in the grip of winter so I had to do the filleting indoors. T...

Bleeding fish

Do you bleed fish when you catch them? Does it truly make a difference, or is it another fad?

Re: Smoke em!

Nice going! Tomorrow my friend and I are planning to go ice fishing for walleye on the Saskatchewan River. I just froze in water some that we caught Saturday.

Re: Two german shepards killed and skinned by crossbow hunter.

I'm not ready to start melting tar and looking for feathers. I really like dogs. My family raised German Shepherds. They come in all colors from entirely white to entirely black, as well as with every color and mixture and blend that's visible to the human eye. Some even look like Rin Tin Tin, or th...

Re: OT: Canadain Firearm Buy Back Program

I hadn’t given it much thought before, but I now wonder why Trudeau and his cabal handled the amendment the way they did. It was a politically clumsy and risky thing to do. So, were they simply being even more arrogant, or, was this just an innocent lapse in judgement? Or is there another motivation...

Re: OT: Canadain Firearm Buy Back Program

Standing alone Bill C21 is a travesty. The amendments associated with it were, thankfully, so outrageous and excessive as almost to become a joke. Then the government spokesmen assured the public that the amendments were exclusively directed at "assault" rifles. That lie was repeated over ...

Re: OT: Canadain Firearm Buy Back Program

A tourist walks down a deserted street and is confronted by two muggers. They take his wallet and one muggers says to the other “we better kill him so he can’t identify us”. The other says “I guess so””, but just then there is the sound of a police siren nearby and they just run away. Being mugged i...

Re: OT: Canadain Firearm Buy Back Program

The ONLY good thing about this is that no good comes of it for the government. The firearms community is upset. The anti firearms community is upset. Trudeau gets no political bonus points.

We still have the legislation moving forward that deals with handguns. Nothing to pop the corks on champagne.

Re: Late Season Archery - The Ups & Downs

Nog I bought a set of tire chains at an auction sale. They sat in my garage for years. Never used them. I wound up giving them away. I reached the conclusion that if I actually needed tire chains, I and my truck would simply stay at home. If I recall your account correctly, you had a three tire chai...
