My good lady was gone to the church to do some cleaning. During her absence, I was notified of someone at the door. Checked my video feed, and here was a neighbourly visit from a young bull.

A young bull visited the neighbourhood this afternoon. I never get tired of the critters wandering through the area. My neighbour told me that I had a couple of mule deer bucks in the yard at two this morning. I wasn't up at that time, though I did get up at four.

If this is the sort of decision making this senate candidate exhibits at a gun range, why would anyone expect better in the US Senate? Senate Candidate Wounds Reporter at the Gun Range

This was in my morning read. A bow hunter in NJ tagged a 770 lb black bear. And the weight was determined after he had gutted the animal! Now, that was one fat bear! One Fat Bear!

Today is Thanksgiving Day in Canada. I want to take this opportunity to wish all our Canadians posting here a blessed and most meaningful Thanksgiving Day. May God richly bless each of you, filling your lives with every good thing Heaven has to offer. May your hunts all be successful and your...

As Canadians celebrate the 157th birthday of the nation, we realise that though we are a young nation, we are a blessed people. It is a bright, sunny day. I'll shortly be putting spuds, asparagus, and rib eyes on the Traeger for an afternoon feed with smokies in the late afternoon. A blessed...

Black bears are predators. They are not normally aggressive toward humans, and they don't normally stalk people. When they do, it is a mistake to ignore them. Evidence for this contention comes from a news account in California. Black Bear Predation Deadly Black Bear Attack It appears the...

We had an early morning visitor a few days past. He must like it here, because he is back. He is pretty well tick eaten, but still relatively healthy. I do enjoy having them visit.

This is a disturbing story from Canadian Press. Anti-hunting Group Buys Out Hunting Rights in B.C. Grizzly hunts have been outlawed in BC since 2017, and shooting the Kermode is banned. So, its not clear what great predators are being protected. There is practically no lion hunts in that...

Don't suppose this is a serious problem for most people posting here, but it is of interest, nevertheless. Homeowner may have fed mule deer, and she paid a hefty price for her "kindness." We were always told when living in Jasper, "A fed animal is a dead animal."

Tragic story in my morning news read. Hunting Accidents Mississippi and Texas witnessed the death of two boys killed in hunting accidents. It is essential that we teach children safe handling of firearms and insist on adherence to the rules.

Found this letter during my morning read. Look for component prices to take a significant rise in prices this coming month.

A fascinating article detailing Federal Government plans to introduce grizzly bears to the North Cascades. I became aware of this while visiting some of my wife's cousins from WA state. The cousins were vehemently opposed to this plan, and it appears that they are not alone...

I found this in my morning read. It is very close to a complete rationale for why we hunt. This is Hunting. It will break your heart and you will go days without getting so much as a shot at an animal. You will miss your shot. You will see garbage in the bush, and have to pick it up. You will...

It is beyond disturbing to hear Director Wray admit that BoA sends the FBI information concerning the purchase of firearms and ammunition "all the time." I wonder if something similar happens here in Canada.

A woman attacked, apparently by a grizzly near my home. We are told that grizzlies are endangered, but I do see them with a fair degree of frequency. https://nypost.com/2023/07/08/grizzly-bear-attacks-woman-planting-trees-in-canada-park/ A moment of lack of caution can be a real problem.

Fascinating story found in the New York Post. Seems a cyclist "hit a bear" while riding in the Seymore Demonstration Forest in the Vancouver, BC area. It makes for quite a story. That'll Get Your Attention! The bear didn't dash off into the forest for long. He was soon back on the edge of...

A tragic story out of Kansas as a dog stepped on a loaded rifle, causing it to fire and killing the passenger in the vehicle. Always a wise decision to make certain the action is clear before laying down a firearm in the seat. Our law in BC requires that all firearms be unloaded before being...

Show a little consideration!

Yet another grizzly attack in WY. This fellow appears to have managed to scare off the bear with the handgun he was carrying, but shot himself in the leg. https://nypost.com/2022/10/24/hunter-shoots-himself-while-fighting-off-grizzly-bear/ Such encounters happen fast and we don't actually...
