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...

Another grizzly attack in WY. Apparently two young men attacked by a grizzly. They were chewed up a bit, but they survived. https://www.foxnews.com/us/wyoming-college-wrestlers-bear-attack

Admittedly this happened in Japan. It is still pretty exciting to see the speed of this attack.

Another cougar attack recorded. https://www.instagram.com/reel/CjoQWRoAfaJ/?utm_source=ig_embed&ig_rid=886d9d57-4f5a-4702-9753-aa57448bc9d4 The guy appears to have done what was required. This appears to have bee in Idaho.

It is Thanksgiving Day in Canada. To those members living here in the Great White North, I wish you a blessed and peaceful day of Gratitude for the blessings we enjoy. Happy Thanksgiving Day for Canadians. No doubt, our American cousins will shortly look forward to their own Thanksgiving Day.

When I got up early this morning, I noted a visitor resting in my yard. By the time I could get my camera to document her presence, she was moving out of the yard. Guess she was camera shy. Pictures are not the greatest. It was foggy, among other reasons for the slight blur.

A family of four was attacked by a black bear last evening. Two women were injured, one critically, and a teenage boy was swatted. One of the women was air-lifted to Edmonton in critical condition (Edmonton is 600 km away). Two things jumped out at me when I heard this last evening. First...

I had the privilege of introducing some ladies to the shooting sports yesterday. Nicole was born in Iran, and her sister Anna is visiting from Iran at this present time. Echo was born in Japan and had never touched a firearm. My wife, Lynda, has become rather adept at shooting, enjoying...
