Boo,

I agree that there really is some wonderful hunting in the lower 48 states. I have a 6x7 bull elk from Utah that would be hard to beat anywhere in Canada. I have taken whitetails in Montana and Alabama that would be trophy class anywhere in Canada.

What is so attactive about Canada is the vast areas of public land and wilderness. I hear the siren song of wild country,it calls me just like it does many of you. I have always loved the people that I've hunted with in Canada as well,but I've always made it a point to hunt in Canada with Canadians who were born in the country we hunted.

It is up to Canadians to set the policy for hunting your country,I just hope that people like me in the US with family ties and a love for your country will be able to find a way to come and hunt there.There are lots of other places to go,but my friends are in Canada not somewhere else.

PS

Until recently,I had no idea that Canadian sportsmen could not bring firearms into the US. Totally unfair,if anybody ever wants to come hunt with me,I'll be happy to lend anything you need. I have a nice new hunting cabin and some pretty tremendous hunting and fishing. Some of the best times are January and Febuary when it's kinda nasty cold up north. So.... if any of you guys would like to talk about coming here,let me know.

Britt
