The USA has labelled both Canada and the EU as threats to their "National Security" in order to justify new duties declared by their military Commander-in-Chief on the international trade of steel and aluminum. So I suggest that USA made products such as firearms and ammunition should be sold exclusively within the USA so Canada and Europe can help our esteemed neighbour defend themselves and improve their national security. Sadly, I have come to the conclusion that Canadians and Europeans...

I just returned from the last hunt of the season in East Cape, South Africa. It was my first time to that area and it was a great trip. As usual, I learned a lot and will be sharing those thoughts in this hunt report.

For the last few years, I’ve been going to Africa twice a year but I thought this year I was not going to be able to go at all due to saving for a new house. I met my financial goal a little earlier than expected and my good friend, Dieter called and said are you sure...
