mackem 27,483 Posted November 18, 2016 Report Share Posted November 18, 2016 Cabelas will send stuff,as for traps,in suitcases that's not an issue,I have done that before,even brought a bow in a hard case and associated kit like broad heads and it sailed through.What boots you get from them Qb I am after a couple of pair but the range is overwhelming when your confronted with row after row of decent footwear,I saw a pair yesterday that are suitable for wearing at temps of -50 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

mackem 27,483 Posted November 18, 2016 Report Share Posted November 18, 2016 Surprised at that mate,I have ordered archery stuff in the past and had it sent no probs,there are other Canuck trapping suppliers that would send them,can't understand cabelas stance on no uk supply?

mackem 27,483 Posted November 21, 2016 Report Share Posted November 21, 2016 Have you seen a Cougar yet or any big predators? No mate,tills area has the highest density of cougar in Canada,and the highest number of black bear in an a province,this province has the second highest number of black bear,when we were picked up at the airport there was two white tailed deer feeding on the roadside on the short drive home,seen mainly waterfowl since I have been here,lots of geese and duck,and seen quite a few whitetail in the city and the outskirts,saw one yesterday grazing near some houses.Tilly,got a month here,got here last Monday,Christmassy family stuff,got some mates from Sunderland "the cod squad" going near you next September,their annual fishing trip,they are going for salmon and halibut what's the temperature/weather like over that side at the moment? it's been very wet hear for the last month or so, but not cold -12 with windchill here today Tilly,and a blanket of snow,I am getting some fresh caribou for dinner from a guy who works for larga-Baffin up in Nunavut,he lives in Ottawa though,he said I should visit him,I just looked at the flight $2600 return for an internal,expensive. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

mackem 27,483 Posted November 21, 2016 Report Share Posted November 21, 2016 Yes mate,I have priced internals and trips to places like Churchill and Nunavut,I have done internals all over the place in places like Pakistan and Indonesia that were cheap as chips,here that Nunavut flight would get me a fishing trip to Thailand from the U.K,swings and roundabouts.Just need to save a little more cash when I get back home as this coming Black Friday is going to skirt me. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
