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

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

Don't close the window! This is not another doom and gloom report, believe me, I'm just as sick of them as you are.

 No - this is about how lucky we are to have recession-proof hobbies.

What am I talking about? Well, imagine for a moment that during this economic downturn, your hobby was sailing. You might be in trouble - at the very least, there's a good chance your significant other might not

It is most certainly trade show season -- because Western Sportsman is off to yet another trade show this weekend, March 12 to 15. It's the biggest of all the Western Canadian hunting and fishing shows... the Edmonton Boat & Sportsman's Show, at Northlands Park.
