ollie Posted March 30, 2014 Report Share Posted March 30, 2014 Hi I was scrolling through some old photos at my Dad's house over the weekend and I found some great images, most of which are from shooting holidays in Canada about 20 odd years ago: First one is of my Dad with the Bull Moose that he shot during one the holidays (not a great pic, hope you can make it out): Next is my Dad with a couple of large foxes: Next me with a stuffed black bear in my Uncles cabin: Me with my Uncles .22 that I used for target practise while I was in Canada: Next is some of the hunters with a mixed bag off Stubble: Me struggling to hold up 2 very large canada Geese: Me with another good bag: Standing on my uncles balcony: Loading up after another successful day: Another good bag of birds, me at the front holding the ducks: I was very lucky to spend 3 weeks in Saskatchewan when most of these photos were taken (apart from the one with my dad holding the foxes) and we went out every morning decoying geese on the stubbles fields. Hopefully I'll get back out some time in the future. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
