Last Mountain Lake (Long Lake) area, south of Saskatoon. Our house there is in Nokomis...Geo


Nice. I know the area. My home town is Humboldt which is about one hour north of Nokomis.

I hope you enjoyed some some Nokomis brown ale from the local brew pub located there. Tops on my list for a Saskatchewan made beer.

Small world...Geo

It was interesting how they grow their own hops out back.

My friend from Sweden with the broken Darne, Eric, sent along a few photos for us to enjoy:



I'm going to go out on a limb and guess that the pictured gentleman, Eric, is younger than the typical board member by a magnitude of at least a few decades, a good thing, I think. I enjoy seeing younger people participating in our pastime.
Eric mentioned that this is not his Darne, rather, a Greifelt, and his dog is a French Brittany.
Eric is allowed to own six guns in Sweden, and used to own a second Darne, which, went down the road when he bumped up against the legal limit. I don't know what the "mix" say, rifles, to shotguns, handguns, or combination guns might be. Perhaps he will explain it to us.



This hunting trip was to an island, and Eric explained that the only animals are birds, and hares. It would seem there is a bit of a hare infestation, as the take was 30. Next to Eric is his friend, Lars, and his daughter, and I must say, it is always nice to see young ladies participating in hunting and fishing trips.

I mailed an envelope to Eric on monday, with a used trigger return spring from a Darne R model, an unfitted new spring, which, can be fitted to either R,V, or P model Darnes, in the event he suffers this failure at a later date, and some extra goodies that I hope he will find interesting.

Best,
Ted

Hey all, had to work today, but was able to get in a couple hours after with my son Jim. We had our first snow (that stuck) yesterday, so it was still a bit chilly and breezy. Jim wingshot one and he gave Raina the slip. I was able to get 2, so only 2 in bag today. This damn Daylight Savings is going to put a crimp in my after work hunts, but we'll still be getting out come hell or high water!

I used my 12ga Buhag Hubertus today

\\Best,

Greg

Greg,
Great picture of your birds as well as that very nice looking gun. I'd love to get back to North Dakota for pheasants again next year.

Greg,

You didn't negotiate 2days off a week during hunting season? :-)

Eric has been checking in since he discovered our little corner of the world.

Perhaps he can answer your question.

I know I would love the chance to hunt hickory grouse, over there.

Best,
Ted
