How To Choose A Hunting Firearm
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
Cooking Wild: Duck With Wild Cranberry Drizzle
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

Ruger M77 Hawkeye African – Is this the Single Safari rifle? Perfect for all big game – the world-round? Africa — what a magical place!

Your Guide to Knives
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
