    Getting into Canada with a DUI Conviction

    Hopefully this is still the case. I went to the NWT in Aug of 2018 without issue (DUI in 2001, open container in 2000, reckless driving in 1999). I don't recall being asked about criminal offenses when I went through customs in Toronto Airport. Do they do a background check while you are...

    How do you justify sheep hunting?

    Who do you know that lives in a trailer or basement because they spent too much on exotic hunting trips? Buying a car (while a similar dollar mount) is a poor comparison to buying a sheep hunt. Living in the US, having a vehicle is practically an essential item to maintain employment and...

    Transporter Moose Hunt Success Rates

    Ok, let's not get hung up on 4 then. Let's assume two hunters. It sounds like 1 moose is a realistic goal. How do people figure out who gets the bull, draw straws? Or do folks typically split up? I would hate for the hunter who didn't tag out to feel like they were just along to be a packer...

    Transporter Moose Hunt Success Rates

    With the Transporter/Drop Camp moose hunts in Alaska, what is a fair expectation for a group as far as success assuming everyone can shoot and is in good shape? If 4 hunters go, is 2 people tagging out a fair expectation? What is realistic? I realize that processing a moose halts hunting for...

    Shipping Ammo w Firearm

    I see people posting in the Classifieds with whole setups including handloaded ammunition. Can ammunition legally be shipped in the same box as the rifle to the FFL via UPS, etc. or does it need to be a separate shipment? (Sorry to have to start a thread for a simple yes or no question, but...

    Gila DNA Outfitters, David Silva - Reserve, New Mexico

    Everyone doesn't hate outfitters. It just seems that way because of all the peons online who want to throw their negative two cents in. Mostly: 1. DIYers who want everyone to know that they are alphas 2. Residents who want to villify non-residents (and outfitters) and blame them for their...

    How do you justify sheep hunting?

    Try $30K......if you are paying $20K, you may as well leave your weapon at home.

    Was leaving the hunt worth it?

    Read the last paragraphs about food: Seems pretty clear OP was sold a bill of services for a specific price, and services were not rendered. You guys hating on him look like jealous aholes who are just chomping at the bit to put yourselves on a pedestal

    Was leaving the hunt worth it?

    Sounds like a budget outfitter, so you got what you paid for, but honestly if I knew I could get into 6x6 bulls on day 1 for cheap, I would take that deal every time. Bring my own stove and food anyway because I like to eat hot meals in the backcountry

    Unfilled Tag on Guided Sheep Hunt

    I think @adamkolesar said it best: "...The relative "value" of pursuing sheep is necessarily subjective. Hopefully we all have the resources and opportunity to follow a pursuit that most rational people would consider crazy..."

    Bergara Questions

    My only hands-on experience with bergara (wilderness ridge SP) was not a good one. Boat anchor heavy, terrible trigger, and inaccurate rifle. 1.5 inch groups, even with handloads. Bolt knob fell off when I took it out of the box. They put a bunch of videos and other stuff out on social media...

    If you could move anywhere?

    It would be somewhere at least 2 hours from any population center, that is pretty enough, has access to basic things that I or the wife need, but where there is not an abundance of stupid people or criminals. Most places people have heard of, have already attracted hoards of people already, so...
