dogone Posted April 27, 2010 Report Share Posted April 27, 2010 It is a long trip but may be interesting. I am a farmer and outfitter in western Canada (Saskatchewan) We are in the middle of a gopher plague. 500 shots a day would be common. They are a ground squirrel about the size of tree squirrels. Custom made for rimfires and small centerfire. As a exploratory special I am offering three days with motel room for 225lbs.Also airport pickup. It isn't culling in Africa but could be interesting. Of course you could travel the west while here. Firearms easy to enter with. Party of 3 or 4 would be great. regards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

al4x Posted April 27, 2010 Report Share Posted April 27, 2010 there's something a bit different! especially as the amunition is dirt cheap and larger flatter shooting calibers are encouraged :blink: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harv Posted April 27, 2010 Report Share Posted April 27, 2010 Is this immediately or later in the year aswell? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dogone Posted April 27, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 27, 2010 The gophers will be out in numbers till august. Then they start hibernating. The young will be here in about two weeks.For a good shoot should come before august.Also the occasional crow and magpie. I don't know if they are direct relation to your birds but have the same attitude. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evil Elvis Posted April 27, 2010 Report Share Posted April 27, 2010 :thumbs: Sounds right up my alley!! Hmr heaven!!!!! how much would the flights be? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dogone Posted April 28, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 28, 2010 Check flights into REGINA , Saskatcewan(about 2 hour drive to my place) and also into Calgary ,Alberta(about 6 to my place) I would probably pick you up in Regina. If you were spending a few days extra then Calgary is only 60 miles from the Rocky Mountains,cowboys and all that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest stiv24 Posted April 28, 2010 Report Share Posted April 28, 2010 We flew to Canada for 2 weeks skiing at the start of the month. We used Canadian Affair and flew into Calgary, a return ticket cost £300. If your seriously considering it pay the extra £90 for a seat upgrade, I wish we did. If I'm thinking of the right place you will also need an internal flight from Calgary to Kelowna which was about £70. I wish I knew about this then.

dogone Posted May 3, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 3, 2010 mickeyfinn-I never heard you were in Canada. When Prince Harry is training here we hear all about it. He comes to Suffield Base ,near Medicine Hat. You must have wanted to keep a low profile. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Westcountryman Posted May 4, 2010 Report Share Posted May 4, 2010 mickeyfinn-I never heard you were in Canada. When Prince Harry is training here we hear all about it. He comes to Suffield Base ,near Medicine Hat. You must have wanted to keep a low profile. I spent 6 weeks at Med Hat and loved it. Not shooting, but helping getting a training system to work. The beer and food were great We used to see Coyotes in the fields on the way in and had gofers and rabbits running around the building we worked in. I'd go back in a flash. Who ever takes up the offer will have a cracking time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
