Canada is not, last time we checked, a nation in which the majority are vegetarians. In rural and small-town Canada, many fathers and sons, and increasingly mothers and daughters, hunt and fish as naturally as they would spend time at the rink on Saturday morning, or go apple-picking of a Sunday afternoon. Not only are these traditional means of earning a living for Canadian aboriginal peoples, and still central to life in the far north not only do they provide an important source of tourism for many communities across Canada but they remain part of the fabric of Canadian life. Hunting and angling, obeying all game laws and guidelines and with the proper licensing, are pastimes worthy of respect and protection. Nevertheless, what’s good for the goose must be good for the gander can it be long before all wildlife falls beneath the protective umbrella cast by modern fashion and the anti-hunting lobby?
Unlike the case with seals, no one has ever peered into the eyes of a pickerel and seen himself or herself reflected in those inky pools. Now, extend the logic: does anyone imagine the Chinook salmon or rainbow trout enjoys the experience of being hooked, hauled into a boat and gaffed? We have an easier time with killing fish than we do animals, it seems, because they don’t look much like us. Every rod & gun club in the country is decorated with such keepsakes. Moreover, rare is the deer hunter who brings down a buck with a fine rack of antlers and does not have them mounted. In other words, the point of hunting, even when the principal objective is game, is the experience. Factoring in the cost of safety training, licensing, gear, a rifle or bow, as well as the time involved, and the cost of any venison taken in a hunt far exceeds that of store-bought beef, even at today’s sky-high prices. Hunting and angling, obeying all game laws and guidelines and with the proper licensing, are pastimes worthy of respect and protection.ĭo they require wild meat for sustenance? Not at all. On any given weekend in the fall, drive 90 minutes north of Toronto and you will find primarily men, but also many women, engaged in the fall deer hunt.

I've only seen one other like it, chopped barrel, USAF stamped, and the same rub marks on the stock. Where it fit in the frame, the frame rivets rubbed on the Tenite stock. So they had the plane mechanics use a chop saw to shorten the tip of the barrel. The plane didn't have a place to store the gun except for where it would stick into the air frame, and it was just a tad too long to fit there. They didn't know what to do with the gun, weren't going to tick off an officer, so they sold it to him for scrap value ( more likely beer money). Things looked too familiar, so he checked some records with the guys at the scrap yard, and it was his plane, and the gun had been issued to him. Before he went to go to get another one, he saw the gun stuck in the air frame. Was issued to my uncle for his B-29, years later unknown to him, until he landed at the AZ scrap yard, he ferried his old plane there.
