I read about this hunter in Alberta last year who "accidentally" shot at a fellow hunter -- he mistook him for a moose.

Thankfully, the shot missed. The perpetrator was shocked at how this happened -- and, when I read the article, he seemed to believe such a mistake is easier than he once thought.

I don't buy it. We all know that we NEVER pull the trigger unless we're 100 per cent sure of our

I would like to put a question out there into cyberspace...

Following the now-infamous incident of the duck shooters who uploaded their crimes against nature onto YouTube (CLICK HERE to read the latest), I have to wonder somewhat about the punishment...

I recieved notice from one of our writers, Kevin Wilson, regarding his article, "A Marsh I Know," published in our Nov/Dec issue, has received some attention. Here's an e-mail I received from him this weekend:

You probably received a notice but as an FYI, I just got a plaque in the mail. Turns out it was a 1st place in the Ducks Unlimited Canada Wetlands Appreciation Award category for that

There is a love-hate relationship between outdoorsmen and ATVs. And even those that love them - sometimes hate them.

But really we're talking about the operators not the machines, right? After all - ATVs are not only fun, but useful, and sometimes essential. I am heading to an ATV access cabin in June to do some fishing, and the only conceivable way my buddies and I can get our gear in is via
