Your ultimate guide to rifles & shotguns for Canadian game. Just about every hunter I know has a definitive opinion on what type of rifle or shotgun they prefer. I have a friend, for example, who believes that the sun rises and sets on doubles, be they shotguns or rifles. All, of course, are built with fine figured wood and cost more than he is even willing to admit. Whereas I, who can certainly appreciate the quality and craftsmanship that goes into many of these fine guns, don’t find them as user friendly or as practical in the field as … Read more
This is a delectable dish for the waterfowler who wants to showcase duck in gourmet fashion. It calls for just the breast and the recipe is best suited for one or two plump prairie-fed birds that have fattened themselves up nicely on grain and have been plucked instead of skinned. Don’t fret if your ducks are skinned or skinnier, for that matter, for you can increase the number of breasts used and butter them up a little to keep meat moist upon cooking. Nothing complements duck better than a sweet, tart sauce made from wild cranberries, which belong to the … Read more
Are you obsessed with elk? Perhaps even an elkoholic? Whether you’re a newbie or a grizzled old pro, here’s everything you need to know about the iconic Western elk. Western Canada is a dangerous place for an elkoholic. Temptation is now just about everywhere. For an elkoholic, hunting elk is an almost irresistible urge. Eastern BC, western Alberta, central Saskatchewan and southern Manitoba are the best areas to find these animals, but there are elk in harvestable numbers now found in numerous pockets across the west from Victoria, BC to Victoria Beach, MB. Elkoholism is understandable. As game animals, elk … Read more

Monofilament, flourocarbon, braided, superlines, copolymer — what’s the difference between the different fishing lines on the market? Two and a half hours into an epic struggle with a monster tarpon and the only connection that existed between it and me was a spool of 30-pound-test monofilament fishing line. I could not believe it had held this long. The battle had pushed my limits to the wall and had eaten up eight kilometres of Costa Rica’s Rio Colorado River. Thankfully, I was finally able to bring this 130-pound monster boatside and release it to fight another day. Unquestionably, this was a … Read more
Ruger M77 Hawkeye African – Is this the Single Safari rifle? Perfect for all big game – the world-round? Africa — what a magical place! Just the mention of this magnificent destination conjures up indelible images in my mind of spectacular sunsets over the savannah, the Southern Cross in a dark night sky, the roar of a lion at dawn, or stories told around an evening campfire. All contribute to why it has to be one of my favourite places on this globe to hunt. But all that aside, it is the wildlife that draws me back — its variety, … Read more
Your essential guide to the outdoorsman’s most valuable tool: the knife. Knife-making is a many-centuries-old craft and I must admit that I have a thing about good knives. Some can be pure works of art and more than likely I own far too many, from quality over-the-counter knives to limited edition models and even a few very highly prized handmade knives. With nothing more than a four-inch drop-point knife I was taught how to break a large bull moose down, bones intact, into nine pieces that I could pack. And while that may seem impossible, I have done it on … Read more
Smokin’ good sausages without the smoke! If you’re an avid black bear hunter like me, no doubt you still have a nice little stash of autumn bear denned up in your freezer by the time spring hunting season rolls around. If so, here’s a delicious way to use up the aged meat and make room for the new bounty you hope to bag. Of course, if you don’t have a stash of autumn bear then all the more reason to get out and enjoy the spring hunt! Basically there are two types of sausages — fresh which are made out … Read more
