Re: Vimy Ridge
Canada and the US are great allies. We in the US too often think that we won the two world wars with a little help. The truth is that the contributions of each of our allies were essential to victory. Vimy Ridge is just one of many examples of Canadian strategic brilliance and bravery that helped wi...

Re: Canning Venison ?
I have shared some fresh wild turkey meat with some Amish farmers near my farm and in return, they he given me some canned venison (in jars, in case someone wondered). One of the jars contained what they called baloney and I'm not sure what cut the other one was. Both were fine but I see no advantag...

Re: Best 3 things I've bought.....so far
I like my two tripod deerstands. They both have 360 degree shooting rails that I cover with thick pipe insulation. I take a 10' X 12' camo tarp and fold it over to be 5' X 12' tarp and add one grommet between each existing grommet. I then hang it from the shooting rail with zip ties in each grommet....

Re: New TOTA 3 blade broadhead
I switched to mechanicals (X-Acts) a few years ago and I've been mostly glad. They fly well and left short, easily followed blood trails. My only problem with them is they aren't easy to re-use. After shooting one, you have to find replacement parts and then hope you re-assembled the head correctly ...

OT \ Battery chainsaws
I've had a Stihl Farm Boss chainsaw for over 20 years, and it still runs about as well as it did when new. A couple of years ago I bought a battery powered pole saw and I really like how you just keep the battery charged and cut away. You do need bar oil (just like gasoline saws) but, other than tha...

Re: Foxy
I've never seen a squirrel like that. It's really different from every other squirrel I have seen. Fox squirrels seem to be losing ground to grey squirrels around here. I never see a fox squirrel in the metropolitan area where I live and I probably see 4 grey squirrels for every fox squirrel at my f...

Re: What the heck is wrong with people today?
The property I own has about .4 of mile of gravel road forming the north border. The road is somewhat of a cut through, but the area is very rural with little traffic. Despite this, I make several trips a year along this stretch with my tractor to pick up fast food trash, beer cans and bottles, ciga...

Re: Turkeys
I'll carry a 20 ga. I have that has a turkey choke and a red dot on opening morning. With TSS shot a 20 gauge is about as good as a 10 gauge used to be. 50 yard shots are not irresponsible. The bad thing is how ridiculously expensive TSS shells are. I may grab my crossbow later in the season for a c...

Re: CWD Officially in BC
Is baiting deer legal in BC? CWD spreads faster when deer congregate so steps to keep them from being in close contact can help to slow the spread of the disease. Well intentioned feeding for non-hunting purposes is just as bad as baiting for hunting.
