I can't use DEET - it makes me nauseous and gives me a headache.
I tip my hat to the old-timers who handlined for cod or any other big fish. I once pulled a 30 lb. cod up from the bottom in 300 ft. of water off Gloucester MA. with a boat rod and it took me twenty minutes to do it... then I had to rest for almost as long. .

Chris how is the population of Woodland Caribou? I have heard reports that the population is down drastically and the hunting miserable. A Woodland Caribou is a bucket list hunt for me.

Chris, how far is 15K to 20K? Phil, how did you get the Remington to the Dawe shop? Can you bring pre 1898 guns into Canada or ship them without papers or other difficulty?

Growing up I only had to go 1 /2 an hour from my house to see a trophy Stag ,Iv'e eaten lunch ,one hand on a sandwich the other on the dogs collar in the middle osf a herd of 100 ....now its a 2 day expedition without a helicopter ....gross mismanagement , opportunities are there but you'll work for them ...don't know if well ever see it come back to what it was . Bill,9 to 12 miles,I average around 30 (18 miles ) on a good day ...its not the distance its the terrain , we've had mainlanders come here on several occasions - avid bird hunters,walk 300 feet from the pick up and call it quits ,some places are easier than others no doubt but you go where the birds are-I had no reservations about Phil anyone who knows him knows he can walk .... there's not a Newfoundland Ptarmigan hunter alive who cant walk like a S.O.B. Phils gun was a major process,until the border makes things easier its really not worthwhile and something I can seriously entertain |

I'm really disappointed because I have a couple of pre-1898 guns that demand the kind of attention that Chris can give them. My 1893 World's Fair Parker BHE would love to have Chris's work done on it, a complete restock without any work on the forend.

So why don't you just send your guns to Chris - what's to be disappointed about?
