If only that guy was just a short 30-45 minute drive from Ottawa. lol :D

Hey OddMott, I did very well on Crown around Ottawa, we should go next season. Prior to rifle during deer, was pulling 3-4 per weekend and flushing at 8-10 per day. Found some great spots and second gun would be great.

Thanks, Line052, PM sent!

I have been offered the opportunity to go to Lapland in northern Finland for a moose hunt this fall. I have been e-mailing and texting my buddy since October and yesterday he sent an e-mail. He had a meeting with the members of his hunt club and it was voted on and he said that I was accepted as his guest for the 2014 moose hunt. OH YAH! He will be sending the info as to our next steps in this (to me) trip of a lifetime. My sole focus for 2014 is to make this trip a reality.

Part of the plan is to get my body in a little better shape through diet and exercise. They do a lot of walking and stalking with packs and guns. I plan to shoot, shoot and shoot some more, all calibres of firearms that I have at various yardages. If it happens that I have the opportunity to take the shot I can and will make it count. Will have to work a little harder to squirrel away the funding for this 2 week adventure. They have been planning some other day trips as well. I'm pumped, stoked and can't wait for late September 2014.

Big time...:thumbup:

Sounds like I might get out to Alberta this fall for a deer or elk hunt with my Uncle. He has agreed to hunter host me and I am hoping to give mule deer a go. If he is keen, I'd also go elk but I'd only have a week or so there which might limit things. While out there, I'd like to do some upland hunting since he has a GSP pup that's he's trained up.

Apart from Alberta, I'll be doing the same as last year - turkey, duck, goose, upland, deer. I would like to try moose but we'll see how that goes over with my brothers and father.

Planning on getting my PP trained at Pineridge and do some pheasant hunting with him. I love my dog!!!
