    Got invited on a fly-in for moose.

    I'm pretty excited. A couple of older guys invited me along. No guide, but a lake they've been going to every few years for a while.

    2-1/2 weeks. I had to pay for my wife and two of her friends to go to Hawaii in a couple weeks. No problem, in my business I accumulate lots of points. But cash would have been cheap at the price!

    Finally bought a 300 win mag, too.

    I was going to make a couple of jokes about life insurance and Deliverance but I won't

    Sounds like a trip to look forward to, good luck and good hunting.

    Finland is a neutral country - but the guns point to the east.

    Lots of time to get in shape. I did 2 fly in trips when I was younger. Thought I was ready. NOT but was so much fun. Good luck.
    Take a kid hunting its more rewarding than shooting an animal yourself!!

    Congrats. only better if someone has a GBear tag.
    Fishing in the lake? Grayling in the streams?
    imo don't scent up the area too much by roaming around, keep the footprint small and be patient
    Late September?
    Never say whoa in the middle of a mud hole

    I already put a seat belt on my cast iron fry pan so I can sleep with it strapped across my arse.

    I'm happy to say I'm in great shape AND I'm taking your advice to improve it.

    Yeah, late Sept. We're taking 2 inflatables with motors for 3 guys, so I'll be marooned on an island until someone else gets lucky, then I'll be afloat.

    We're all putting in for GB leh, you bet.

    Still can't believe my wife said yes. Mind you, she also wants me to update the will before I go.

    By the way, my nuts aren't in her purse. We've got small children and both work. 2-1/2 weeks is a big ask.
