			I would like to visit Canada
		
			
				
					I'll carefully script this request to accurately convey both my request and stay within the confines of the guidelines. I have a long held desire to visit Canada for the purpose of viewing that country and to see the results of the conservation efforts of Ducks Unlimited. I come to the members of this board as I have met several members, each exceeded my expectations. And, you know I'll be kilted.
 I can, but do not have to bring my dogs who also might enjoy a trip through upland fields and defiantly would enjoy seeing waterfowl.
 So if any like minded (sports)men enjoy said pastimes would entertain an American for a few days this fall, I would like to hear from you.
 
 Thanks
 
 David

					I think David wants to go to Canada to hunt duck and is wondering if any of our Canadian Kilted Bretheren enjoy duck hunting as well, and if they might like to meet up.  
 Cheers

					Canada looks better and better every day...
 I thought you were asking about getting you and the pups  in and getting out...or rather getting back into the U.S. when done....certainly something to be sure of first.
