  1. Kelly says he ties em sparse, and his flies are not designed to sink on there own, use a sink tip and it will dive when you strip the line. Dead or dying fish float and try and dive for cover but can't or struggle, he likes to imitate crippled fish. I got his book around here somewhere.

  2. when you run a fly shop like fish tales, you don't have to worry about what your supplier does, or what bass pro shop does, cause you feel like family in there even when you only go in the shop once a year (although they always seem to remember wind your fly line on backwards, and remember to do it every time right hand retrieve instead of left hand retrieve yes he does it on purpose its a running joke). I do shop at bass pro there the only place i can get the ammo i like to shoot in my 22-250, do i buy fly fishing stuff there no, why cause there is no price difference between them and fish tales or who ever.

     

     

  3. That sucks dude, same about the buck you could of harvested. I got a section east of bass pro shops, ill be driving the field in my truck and ill get a phone call from the dink on 20 acres someone is on my land again, caught a couple people out there shooting stuff, and driveing though my canola this year.

  4. I'm conflicted on this one, I for one would rather not be seen. Call it buck fever or whatever you like the simple fact is that sometimes you see what you want to see. I think anyone who has hunted has found themselves taking a long hard look at a bush or a rock convinced they were seeing a deer for a moment.

     

    If you do choose to wear orange don't expect it to save you, keep an eye out for other hunters.

     

    If your glassing and watching your game, it will move than you should have a better idea of what it is. That said buck fever comes from seen a BIG buck like a 165 inch or bigger, pretty sure you have to see it before you know its a gagger!

  5. Well then, let me tell you about the first time I hunted in Alberta. Having learned that I no longer needed to wear blaze orange, I happily bought a sheet of burlap and put on my combats, thinking I'd now be twice the hunter as before. And guess what? I got shot at. I yelled something profane, and got shot at again. Fortunately this guy wasn't a markman, and was smart enough to figure out that animals don't shoot back. This old-timer walks up to me, wearing a blaze toque, and says something like, "law or not, please wear orange."

     

    You really think getting yourself noticed because you're wearing orange increases your risks? Ridiculous. Sorry to bring up seatbelts again, but that makes as much sense as people who argue that if your car lands on its roof in water, your seatbelt will trap you and you'll drown.

     

     

    Im sorry did he shoot at you cause you where not wearing orange! Also if that is all he said i would of called the cops.

  6. when pushing bush to bump deer for buddies danmed right the orange is on, that said we setup a shoot area only shoot if deer is in said area (unless i confirm i am safe IE i know im behind the shooter) and the area we do bump on the farm house is to the back of the shooter so he better not even point that gun in that direction or he will be picking up his teeth.

  7. Okay, so they have a boat with no registration on it.

     

    CO dont care not there job to enforce it

     

    CPS dont care, and can to enforce it if they wish, but how do you catch a jet skier on water with a car?

     

    Bylaw, they care but again they are on water

     

    Fire department, do they really care? if so how far do they go to chase these guys all the way down to caresland?

     

    I really don't think there is much anyone can do.

  8. I just ordered some simms water bottles from them yesterday. They do ship to Canada.

     

    3 aluminum bottles to Calgary was $7.35 via USPS. If I wanted FedEx it would have been $14.50.

     

    They do post the deal until it is gone, but often the same deal will come up on a couple of days.

    Did they say anything about brokerage fees? Cause that might kill you right there, i will not ship UPS international as they always kill me with brokerage

  9. Most of the stuff was clearly used, and not just discount for stuff that wont sell. Some of it had alot of mud and stuff, like someone bought it then returnered it after a hunting trip. It all goes up for auction again tommorow evening if not sold, than priceing will be adjusted according to the nice lady i talk too.

     

    As for it being in a auction house, dont know how many auction other attend. But i got to quite a few, and ive seen used tractors go for more than a brand new one off the lot (new holland td 80, why do i know just bought one) an 1986 fifth wheel about 20 feet in rough shape for 8500$. People get auction fever bad sometimes. that said we do manage to get some good deals, but it can be a tough way to spend a day.

  10. Not my type of hunting, to sit and wait for one to come in, but from my understanding the only real way to get them to come in with some sort of consistency. That is how i got mine, was baiting with popcorn and beavers. When we did shoot ours, we where asked buy a family member to take care of a few problems bears on there section west of Cremona, there neighbors, left for the summer and in there wake left lots of bird feed many bags of it on the back deck for the birdies, the short sighted city people did not realized that it would bring in bears as well. Like i said i shot it so i best eat too. I think more people should kill there own food and see the process just once so they do know where there food comes from.

     

    I much perfer spot and stock deer hunting, elk or moose my self much to jittery to sit in a stand for more than 15 mins.

  11. For the life of me i cant find, a pair of mec pants that gives me the space i need where a guy should need it. I find hunting pants, and cabelas hiking pants are by far the most comfy pants i can find. Every pair of hunting pants i own seem to be quite comfy, i dont know what it is but really comfy, the bad part is i hate wearing camo around.
