    How long have you old timers been married?

    First time was 29 years. Then, I was a bachelor for 7. I'm with Lisa now, for nine years. I'd say I traded way up.

    Limit on meat brought back into USA from Canada?

    Thanks, so much, for the info! I'll be leaving FL on 9/25, and start my hunt 10/1 in Falher, which is about an hour south of Peace River. Whether I go across at Pembina or Sweet Grass, it looks like travel time is the same at 48 hrs, or so. However, travel time in Canada will be way less from...

    Limit on meat brought back into USA from Canada?

    Would you have a link to a site with the actual written word from USFW? I ve been searching, but can't find anything on 24 hr USFW manned sites or the text. I would appreciate it very much.

    Limit on meat brought back into USA from Canada?

    Yeah, true. I have an Alberta moose hunt coming up in 5 weeks. I'm going to call the crossings in Portal, ND and Sweet Grass Montana to see what their position is. It's really going to suck if I drive 5 days each way just to bring back 50 lbs of meat.

    Limit on meat brought back into USA from Canada?

    If that's the case, one would think it a simple matter in this age of technology, to get a memo to all border crossings, spelling out the correct procedure.

    What!!?? The dreaded hearing aid

    No hearing aids for me. I'm 68 y/o and find I'm taking less sound shots as my hearing has diminished.

    Which bino to take?

    The 10s and the spotter, providing they're good quality optics. I'm unfamiliar with Sigs, and you don't state what spotter.

    Kowa 774 to 55s?

    They're still too new, but if I ever catch a great discount, I'll own one of those 66s.

    Kowa 774 to 55s?

    Man, that's a tough decision. Both are spectacular scopes. I will tell you that I have a 554 and an 884, and the 554 would be the last to go. With its optical quality and just 28oz, it has a permanent place in my pack. But that 774 is such a great all rounder, I would hate to give it up...

    Electrical Tape on muzzle

    Good luck on your moose hunt. I'll be hunting moose in Alberta as well in Oct.....Peace River area. As far as tape on the muzzle, I'll slap a piece on when I remember. But if I don't, no big deal. It has not affected POI that I can detect.

    What Happened to Sitka?

    Well, yeah. Cuz how you gonna be the most fantastic hunter that you can be, unless you have just the perfect ensemble for every possible situation. Don't forget to overthink the footwear choices...

    Checking my pack as a checked bag

    I use a zippered wheeled duffel as my checked bag. My empty pack goes in first and everything else gets packed on top of it. Coming home, if I have boneless frozen meat (deer or antelope) in the pack, it goes in the overhead bin and my normal carryon goes under the seat as my personal item.

    Talk me out of a straight spotting scope.

    I haven't had any issues with my phone becoming unpinned from my scope.

    Talk me out of a straight spotting scope.

    How so? Please explain. I digiscope with a Kowa 554 and 884, (both straight scopes), and can't imagine it could be any easier.

    How old for first knife?

    I don't remember a time when I didn't own a pocketknife. But I grew up in a much different time. Similar to manitou1 I had a .22 rifle at the age of six. It's a much different world now. I think to answer your question, it depends on each individual's level of responsibility.

    Talk me out of a straight spotting scope.

    Another vote for straight. Both my scopes are straight, while a couple of my buddies have angled. After switching back and forth over the years, I'm always happy to be back behind my straight scopes. You're going to love that TSN-66S.
