re: Is Moose good eating?

Posted by OntarioTiger on 4/1/26 at 8:37 am to
Moose is great especially early in season when they are eating aquatic plants. Late season when they transition to cedar or spruce not so much, aka spruce moose, like chewing a pine needle
Had grilled guinea pig in Peru, was tasty and pretty common. More like pork.
Last week, corb lund and a DBT. Also have a stones shirt in the mix

re: The gun that got away

When i worked at elleshue in the 90s and the campus gun ban came into effect a field group had to dispose of a weatherby rifle w a Nixon scope, large caliber 300 win mag or similar. They offered it to me since I hunted and my dumb arse said no, no charge for it .... it was used as polar bear protection for arctic work

re: Maple Syrup

When my dad was alive he made 10-20 gal per yr and would typically win awards for it at local fairs. Lots of work but incredibly tasty. I like a little darker syrup w more taste than the lighter versions. He had an evaporator pan over two gas burners and would drip sap in to keep his evaporation rate consistent. He had his own gas well so gas was not an issue. I know the baws like cane syrup but I found it too dark. He collected it in buckets so it was work but it was rewarding. I would give anything to do it again for a day w him.
For harvesting tobacco it was piece work and pay was $50-125 per day which was 8-15x minimum wage. Crazy money for grade - HS at the time. My mom made me save more than half so paid for cawlidge car etc. There isn't similar money in the industry today, now hiring offshore help rather than locals and its more mechanized too.
High school, how about grade school at 12, worked on tobacco farm harvesting the crop. Did that for 6 summers and paid for cawlidge before I stepped on campus. Crazy money back in the day

re: Rem 11-87

I had an early 90s 1187 and the bolt did not lock in the receiver, the gun fired and as you can imagine there was a "catastrophic failure".... Remember did replace the gun and i found out this was an issue w 1187s. I sold the replacement and have moved onto browning and Beretta. Would i buy one and shoot it regularly, no.

re: Yes, another 10/22 set up

Posted by OntarioTiger on 2/14/26 at 12:13 pm to
Not the ultimate set up but its sure a tack driver. Its a bergera w a carbon barrel, composite stock, has a nice crisp trigger. Went overboard on a good vortex scope. At 50 yds i can cloverleaf rounds. It does like certain ammo so whatever you build try a few different brands to see what it likes. Didn't break the bank and is fun to shoot
Didn't watch but 16k is a good start for a high level aaa hockey player....
Btw anyone who has kids in equestrian programs wins
It helped my step grandad with c diff. He wasn't responding to conventional tmt and it worked.for him. He was in his 80s at the time.

Great gun, just make sure it fits you. I had a 20 ga onyx that didn't fit me well, not the guns fault. Browning ou fit me better

re: Benelli or Beretta?

Posted by OntarioTiger on 1/9/26 at 9:10 am to
I'm a beretta guy, I primarily shoot a 25 yr old 391 rather than a400.extrema. I only shoot 3" shells. The beretta just fits me better. I tried to shoot a m2 a cpl of yrs back but just couldn't get comfortable with it even changing shims etc. Both are great find the one you like and fits you. Or as you say get them both ;)

Beretta ax800

Posted by OntarioTiger on 1/8/26 at 10:35 am
Beretta baws
Had a chance to shoot the ax800 at canadas over last week and I really like it. I am a confirmed B gun hunter and use a 391 or a400.
First impressions, points like the 391, fore end narrower than 400. Nice high rib and fits me right w the 55 shim. Does it kick, no. Latest kick off really works and probably helped by long forcing cones. Shot 3" 1500 fps steel and kicked less than 391. Lots of good features taken from tactical crowd, oversized loading port, loading ramp stays up so u dont pinch finger, oversized controls etc

Drawbacks
I'm not sold on polymer receiver w aluminum insides but hey I shoot a 25 yr old 391 w aluminum receiver. Don't really like the open button stock but I can live w it.

Will I buy one, probably just don't tell Mrs ontario.
Btw I tripled on canadas w it so it does shoot if you do your job.
Ohhh and it shoots in the mud and cold
