Bob, fishing is big up there with both the Atlantic Salmon runs and ocean fishing. Tourism is a big industry and sightseeing on the glaciers and volcanos is popular as well as rafting, hiking, etc. You can hike and drive for miles on some 15,000 kilometers of back roads and a new sight is...

With part of Iceland being inside the Arctic Circle it can become a merry-go-round of weather changes in a short period of time. I just returned from my second trip there and true to form it was a Pandora's Box of weather and a variety of sights and sounds. The ruggedness of parts of the...

Heat can hurt them and also any residual fat not proberly removed can seep through and damage them also. Also any vermin such as mice will have an easy access to the feet which they like to chew on.

Carl, my favorite load is the 1 1/4 oz. 1400fps Federal or Winchester Xperts and I hunt every day of the season plus travel all over. I shoot it through and Light Modified choke also, not Improved Modified or even Modified chokes and it performs great on big ducks, Specks, Snows and even...

I agree with you Al. Another gimmick that waterfowl hunters will snap up so they can kill them at 100 yards. Where are the old school ways of learning how to get them close, shoot straight and leave no cripples? I think the hype in advertising makes hunters loose sight of the main object and...

I had a machine shot make me a three place strap anchor mold that makes a longer and heavier anchor than you can buy. The commercial anchors are a little too light and short for my use. As said, you need pure lead, not babit or anything with a high antimony content like wheel weights to melt as...

Quite simple really. My wife of 33 years knew going in what to expect and I explained it this way. I hunt every day of the waterfowl season and will be with you sometime on Christmas day so you plan on the 9 months not during duck season and I will plan the 3 months during duck season. See you...

Really liked this two series shot of point and shot on a Perdiz, even into bad light it shows the steadiness of the dog and the shot.

Scott, I always carry my own gun and getting into the country is simple as we have the registration forms pre-filled out and trips that i excort i go straight to the police station in the airport and register mine. Cost is $90 per gun U.S. and I carry parts for repair if needed. Rental guns run...

Scott, that can be a difficult question to answer with plane fares, ammo, transfers etc. Here is what I tell people that ask and in all honesty is as close as I can get to a cost. If you figure plane fare from $1200-$1500 that will get you there and back. Understand a lot of people that save for...

P.M. sent.

Tom the reason I don't post up exact numbers about percentages, ducks per box, etc. is that many would throw the BS flag, but those are the ones that haven't been there. I spent a month last year weeding through more outfitters for our website. After nearly 20 trips there I have experienced...

Same outfitter does both. The roar is in their spring, but coulld be hunted in the winter, I suppose. Most prople want to hunt them during the roar. I also have contacts in New Zealand for huge Stags, Chamois and Tahr plus game birds and waterfowl.

Understand these are decoying birds and I tell first timers to take their time, but many go crazy anyway. Shooting doubles and triples is easy when you let them get in close. We shoot 1 1/16oz of #5 lead and an IC tube and I shoot 7's when I can get them. Wicked and deadly. When with...

Pete, the Mendoza region is a great wine tour as well. I usually go for no less than two weeks. I love the decoying Pigeons and one day I shot them over a little water hole and shot 30+ ducks as well as over 100 pigeons in two hours and didn't even bother with all the doves flying around. The...

The only thing hot in Argentina this year was our gun barrels. I spent nearly 3 weeks down there and saw a diversity of habitat, shooting situations and travel modes. We had ice for two mornings in the south, which was unusual, but the concentration of ducks during a lower water than normal...

I got the fingers at Herter's when they were in business which dates me as pretty old! I think McMurray Hatchery has them though. Greg, I'm terrible at names but the quicker we get this done the sooner we can relax. Were you with Woody? You weren't the one that dropped my new Benelli in...

The scaps/tertials just get in the way and slow the process down. I can pick a Teal in less than a minute, a Mallard in less than three and a White front in less than five. Sure makes for some good eating.
