  1. Didn't time it but think around 35 mins Chaff, I use the boat to get downstream of them where I can, it usually tires them out quicker. I will offer him a beer but he probably won't take it he's only 14 lol
  2. Youngest son just had this he's made up, 8 ft 1inch
  3. Physio sorted mine and gave me a few exercises to do whenever it flares back up. Tried dry needling (a bit like acupuncture) as well, but didnt find it much use. Doctor originally told me total rest and wait it out but after 6 months it was murder and I couldn't even pick up a cup of tea without pain. Physio sorted it in about 4 weeks.
  4. I would watch the dogs near those birds DC, been a loads of bird flu over here and reports of working gundogs contracting it, usually fatal for dog.
  5. A couple made a deal that whoever died first would come back and inform the other if there is sex after death. Their biggest fear was that there was no after-life at all. After a long life together, the husband was the first to die. True to his word, he made the first contact: " Marion .... Marion ... " "Is that you, Bob?" "Yes, I've come back like we agreed." "That's wonderful! What's it like?" "Well, I get up in the morning, I have sex. I have breakfast and then it's off to the golf course. I have sex again, bathe in the warm sun and then have sex a couple of more times.. Then I have
  6. They make decent jerky (dried meat) if your into it, loads of brine recipes online.
  7. Nope I could smell it from probably a hundred yards away, didn't fancy putting it anywhere near my truck. If it's still there once the coyotes clean it I might grab it, but I shoot plenty of deer anyhow and my son found a nice one last year in the river that wd still done nothing with, its the one on the right in this pic.
  8. Walking thr dog down the river, came across this big old deer.

  10. If you can get the isobutane rather than regular they do much better in the cold Dan. Regularly use them down to around minus 10 here.
  11. First trip on the river this year with my son, the ice only came off about 3 weeks ago. Had a bit of variety but nothing big with couple of walleye, a sucker, a burbot and a goldeye between us in 3 hrs.

    Thats how i was taught by my taid (grandad) to make purse nets nearly 50 yrs ago, with a single wooden slider one end (looks like yours snapped in the middle) and just a knot the other end. Reason he gave for no rings was that rings cost money! No idea why triple stranded though.... I bolted plenty of rabbits into purse nets like that and never felt they were worse than a net with rings.
  15. Depends where you go and how u go about it foxdropper, each state has different regulations. I know lots of hunters from up here head down to Montana and go unguided for fairly reasonable costs for elk, antelope, turkey etc. Lots of tags available over the counter rather than on a draw or lottery. If u want to hire a guide or outfitter then it obviously costs a lot more, and animals like griz or some off the sheep species will cost u an arm and a leg.... a recent big horn tag here was sold for more than $300,000 USD. Alberta extends big game trophy hunting from three mon
  16. Where we hunt we often hear them howling, and when it's calm / still the howls travel a right distance. We have shot a couple but it is pure chance seeing them. When you drop one the pack will scatter, then quite often start howling to call for the dead one.
  17. Best thing I did was come to Canada 11years ago, and similar to Tilly we have things here I could never have dreamed of having back in the uk. Anyone with a decent trade and half an ounce of work ethic can do very well over here, and although Trudeau is trying his best to f.uck it up for everyone, the freedoms and lifestyle compared to the uk is a no brainer for me. It can be tough the first couple of years but whatsapp/ facetime etc really helps. I have had a couple of friends who came over, and for whatever reasons went back to the uk, both now say they really regret going back. If you get t
