For all you guys out that way my Dad is going to be speaking at it.
He is "Moose Doc"....(they got that backwards as he is known as Doc Moose) Thought any of you all in the area who may attend may want to know. Pretty proud of my Dad as he has dedicated the better part of his life to moose management etc in MB and has spoken at Moose Conferences (yes they exist) around the world. His bio is too long to list but has been (likely still is) on the board and past President of the North American Moose Foundation and also on the board of the RMEF. Should you have ever seen "The Man Who Would be Moose" on NatGeo....that's him.
Just to add in.....yes....he is a very active hunter and taught me all I know about hunting moose, other ungulates and "guided" me into my first grouse at the age of roughly 5.
I was hoping to fly in but have to be in the US for meetings that same week.
Bill Bennet/Geist etc will be there as well.
