Welcome from BC

Pretty much, like shooting cows in a yard. Poaching up here will result in losing your gun, vehical(truck, ATV,boat) used and if operating out of a hunt camp or cabin you'll forefit that to. That's just low, glad the boy got his deer back. Here's hoping all the neighbors and co-workers find out who the thives are

Bravo

Two Canadian men charged with shooting animals at safari park Mathieu Godard and Jeremiah Mathias-Polson accused of breaking into Parc Omega in Quebec and killing three wild boar and an elk Two Canadian men have been charged with entering a safari park in Quebec and shooting three wild boar and an elk, brazen killings that have left staff at the family-themed park in shock. Police say Mathieu Godard and Jeremiah Mathias-Polson broke through a barrier at Parc Omega on the evening of 10 November. A security guard on duty at the time noticed a vehicle had illegally entered the park and alerted police. Moments later he heard gunshots. “The police quickly arrived and located and intercepted a vehicle. Both men were arrested. Police found four animal carcasses inside the vehicle,” Quebec provincial police spokesperson Marc Tessier told the Canadian Press. Police also seized firearms from the vehicle. The pair face charges including wilfully killing animals kept for a lawful purpose, breaking and entering, illegally transporting firearms and unlawfully firing a firearm during a break and enter. The park, 80 kilometres (50 miles) north-west of Ottawa, is popular with families for its wide range of Canadian animals, including wolves, moose, elk, bison and caribou, that roam the fields and forests of the park. Visitors can drive a 12km route through the facility and feed many of the animals from their vehicles. “We have put all the necessary efforts in place to ensure that this situation does not happen again, for everyone’s safety and for the safety of our precious animals,” an Omega park spokesperson, Billie-Prisca Giroux, said in a statement. Godard, 47, works as a hunting guide and posted images on Facebook of a recent hunting trip in northern Ontario in the days before the incident. Godard was released on bail on Monday and is barred from visiting the park. He is also prohibited from communicating with Mathias-Polson and from carrying a gun. He is also not allowed to consume drugs or alcohol. He did not respond to a request for comment. Police say Mathias-Polson, 21, was on probation when he was arrested on November 10 and remains in custody in Hull, Quebec. The two men are due to appear in a Gatineau courthouse on Friday. https://www.theguardian.com/world/20...ls-two-charged

The two stand out movie sound tracks for me are Singles and The Commitements

Flying over Russia while not officially at war takes a big a big pair. Pretty sure the Geneva convention doesn't apply or provide protection and being classed as a spy in a gulag isn't Club Med As to Mr. Basilone, guy didn't know the word quit or give up

Francis Pegahmagabow March 9, 1891 – August 5, 1952) was a Canadian First Nations soldier, politician and activist. He was the most highly decorated Indigenous soldier in Canadian military history and the most effective sniper of the First World War. Three times awarded the Military Medal and seriously wounded, he was an expert marksman and scout, credited with killing 378 Germans and capturing 300 more. In early October 1914 he was deployed overseas with the 1st Canadian Infantry Battalion of the 1st Canadian Division—the first contingent of Canadian troops sent to fight in Europe. His companions there nicknamed him "Peggy". In April 1915, Pegahmagabow fought in the Second Battle of Ypres, where the Germans used chlorine gas for the first time on the Western Front; it was during this battle that he began to establish a reputation as a sniper and scout. Following the battle he was promoted to lance corporal. His battalion took part in the Battle of the Somme in 1916, during which he was wounded in the left leg. He recovered in time to return to the 1st Battalion as they moved to Belgium. He received the Military Medal for carrying messages along the lines during these two battles. Initially, his commanding officer, Lieutenant Colonel Frank Albert Creighton, had nominated him for the Distinguished Conduct Medal, citing his disregard for danger and "faithfulness to duty", but it was downgraded. On November 6/7, 1917, Pegahmagabow earned a Bar to his Military Medal for his actions in the Second Battle of Passchendaele. During the fighting, Pegahmagabow's battalion was given the task of launching an attack at Passchendaele. By this time, he had been promoted to the rank of corporal and during the battle he was recorded playing an important role as a link between the units on the 1st Battalion's flank. When the battalion's reinforcements became lost, Pegahmagabow was instrumental in guiding them and ensuring that they reached their allocated spot in the line. On August 30, 1918, during the Battle of the Scarpe, Pegahmagabow was involved in fighting off a German attack at Orix Trench near Upton Wood. His company was almost out of ammunition and in danger of being surrounded. Pegahmagabow braved heavy machine gun and rifle fire by going into no man's land and brought back enough ammunition to enable his post to carry on and assist in repulsing heavy enemy counter-attacks. For these efforts he received a second Bar to his Military Medal, becoming one of only 39 Canadians to receive this honour. The war ended in November 1918 and in 1919 Pegahmagabow was invalided back to Canada. He had served for almost the whole war, and had built a reputation as a skilled marksman. Using the much-maligned Ross rifle, he was credited with killing 378 Germans and capturing 300 more. By the time of his discharge, he had served in the appointment of sergeant-major and had been awarded the 1914–15 Star, the British War Medal, and the Victory Medal. He served almost the full length of WW1 and saw action in a number of major battles- Second Battle of Ypres Battle of the Somme (WIA) Battle of Passchendaele Second Battle of Passchendaele Hundred Days OffensiveSecond Battle of the Somme Battle of the Scarpe

Yeah both him and Rene...

I prefer this version...

Hope your dog is doing better.

Registration is confiscation Canada recently reclassified a bunch of guns as prohibited. Now at one point e had to register all fire arms, those classed as restricted( handguns,ARs ) and non restricted(rifles,shotguns) Back in 2011 the Canadian Conservitive government eliminated the registration of non resticted firearms. Now the recent reclassification included a number of non restricted firearms. Of course they can't confiscate what they don't kinow about. To my American friends, you can bet that Joe and his ilk are carefully watching what's happening on my side of the border. Mostly because the current government has done end runs and creative use of legistative powers to make things tougher.

I can imagine the conversation... well there is 60 of them and two of us, I wonder how long it will take them to figure out that the odds are against them?

To actully see the steps and work involved was an eye opener, especially having a very abstract idea of what was involved. The shards that resulted were art on their own,so thin that it was more like looking through blown glass.

Welcome from BC, look forward to meeting up again when I'm back down

Brother it was so good to meet you in person, in a pinch I can swear in Galic I'm with you on this, at least bolt gun is still a go and since I can't spend money buying pistols and ARs the budget has opened up. The next fall shoot gives me a goal and a timeline. To get comfortable, the trick is to use a small backpack for support making sure the tomohawk strapped to the outside is in line with the spine A special shout out to my travel companions, @Magwa and @sketch made the drive down so much better. The view starting off. Even after crossing into Nevada we stopped to get gas and was standing around blowing snow and a biting wind... what the frick( my inner Matt talking) ... it was warmer back home on the otherside of the border. It wasn't all sunshine and unicorn farts, things got bad and we had to go to half rations A shout out to Kim and what ever that corn concoction was was amazing doubly so as I'm not a corn eater. Then there was taco and cheesecake night, well the English language or at least my limited vocabulary doesn't allow me to find the words to give the meal justice. Kelly along with being an amazing cook is just a great person. Also providing another culinary delite was Jen. The name escapes me but chicken in folded buttered bread( apperently local upstate New York). So glad that the covid travel crap is over and already setting up for spring shoot 2023. It was great to see everyone again and get to meet the rest of you in person for the first time.

Here I was worried that you two wouldn't have enough reasons to tip another one back , lucky the Beloved Corp's birthday is coming up

Probably a good thing you're not channeling Deathrace 2000

Thanks Great pics, I like the story about the ashes and the tribute. Beautiful country and I don't think most people appreciate what is out there. People are lazy for the most part and seem content to do packaged holidays. On the plus side it keeps them out of the backcountry It's pretty amazing how much open land is still out there in the lower 48 considering the size of the population
