Just to clarify, you have to log on to Arrive Canada within 72 hours of the border crossing. You will be given a printable "pass" to bring with you, although it appears that you are automatically linked to it when they check your passport.

Marcus...Canada is open. The Arrive Canada app is not too much trouble. You provide a pic of your Covid vaccination card, date and estimated time of entry at a border crossing, with your pertinent info. You may be subject to a random Covid test, but that seems to be a very small chance. You...

I posted some photos in the fishing thread (Back at the Tailgate). Had a great trip to a drive up resort, and will be flying out on Friday for a fly-in trip. The border crossing was quick and easy....just do the paperwork ahead of time.

We had a spectacular return to the Ontario resort where many of my group have been going for years, until we were shut out. In 2019 I made two trips there, and had decent fishing, but this year I was able to catch easily 20X as many walleyes, with a few nice smallmouth bass, perch, a northerns...

I'm jealous Jim; wish I was with you. Shoot straight as you always seem to and keep safe.

I just got off the phone with my bud who lives in WY. He will pack me into the mountain range behind his dad's ranch and leave me there near a small spring until I call for a pack-out. It will be solo archery for Type 1 (any elk), and Type 6 (cow calf). I will gear up for 2 weeks until...

I put a suspended ceiling in my whole finished basement over 30 years ago and was unable to raise my arms over my head for months afterwards. It turns out that I have a common design flaw with the shape of the acromin (SP?), That's where the main nerve goes through the shoulder just under a...

Come-on Man....55 ain't old.

Heading up to Upsala, Ontario early tomorrow morning for a group fishing trip. With the late spring, I've been scrambling to get some outside work done before heading north. I hooked up my wife's hot tub yesterday, so she will be feeling relaxed while I'm gone.

I can tell already that I have some work to do on my legs and cardio before my two elk tags this fall/winter. I just have too much stuff to do other than exercise....it's tough being retired. I plan to do a lot of walking with the dog while on the family trip to Wash. in June, and will start...

I pumped out 23 pullups this morning as part of my regular exercise. I haven't done that in over 30 years. I don't know any 20 year olds who can do it. I saw a young man shadow sparing while driving thru town yesterday and thought about stopping to give him a real challenge. What do you...

Done; quick and easy.

The results were posted early, and I managed to draw two NR elk tags. Good timing as we just started buying hamburger in the grocery store for the first time in 20 years.

When I opened my e-mail this morning I was surprised to find a msg from WY that the elk draw results are out. May 20th was the announced draw date, so here we go. NR GEN elk - successful Type 6 cow/calf - successful YIPPIEE!!!!! So, this puts me on tract for a couple weeks of...

I wouldn't be surprised if they are all going to the Federal plant in Anoka. There are still zero primers at any retail outlet within 100 miles of me (two states). Those who reload 12 ga. are not even shooting trap this year due to lack of primers. I was able to get 3 cases of trap loads...

I bought a couple guns for my wife the first year we were married, but would not give her one for an anniversary present. The shotgun that I got her has been pretty much a safe queen, but she has told me several times, "Don't you dare sell that revolver you bought me." That one is a Ruger...

My food plot is the woody browse of the big woods. This is what it looks like now.

I doubt that this will change anytime in the for-see-able future. I went across for a fishing trip just a few days after Canada reopened the border last August, and for the first few days traffic was stacked up for hours to get through. I talked to the outfitter for the fly-in outpost that we...

Here's a few from my CO fishing trip.

My fall back plan for future years if I don't draw a tag is to go on an alpine lakes hiking trip. I solo packed into a high mt. lake in Colorado the week before my mzl elk hunt in 2019, and surprised myself at just how much I enjoyed catching cut-throat and watching elk.......even without a gun...
