I would invite you to look at a web site entitiled www.huntsfromtheheart.com
A young man and his wife from this area run a commercial hunt service in Manitoba and Alberta, Canada. They provide hunts for deer, moose, bear, wolf, as well as waterfowl and fishing. He also has turkey hunts in Nebraska. A trip like this has always been kind of a dream of mine, for maybe when we get "rich and retired". Is that term an oxymoron?

I met his brother last summer, who is an avid "traditional" longbow hunter. You may have seen his book, "IN MY NECK OF THE WOODS", at the farm house last fall. He has written a series of short stories, each one the stalk and harvest of his deer and other game. His goal in his life is to do a "grandslam" of every game animal in the world. He has been to Africa and killed several big game there. He still wants to get an elephant, rhino, lion and cape buffalo.

Both brothers state that there is something that really provides an adrenaline rush when you are hunting big game, that if your first arrow doesn't kill it, the game may kill you before you get a second chance. Duh!!! Do you think?

The great white hunter is talking about making a De Smet trip some weekend to try to fill his last Muzzleloader tag. Lots of snow, should make for a good hunt.
