I would like to visit Canada

[David Thornton]

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

Jamie

Hey Jamie - I'm glad you understood that....... I was wondering why he didn't just come out and say what he wanted to say?

[Macman]

Ha, ha! That was very well-put, David. I am not a "sportsman", but I hope you find someone on the board who you can view waterfowl with!

Good luck David. Canada certainly has some beautiful areas for sport.

Q: Will I be able to speak English most places I go? (USA)

Yes, you will, but it doesn't mean you will be understood...

[pdcorlis]

I don't hunt ducks but most that know me would certainly say I'm daffy...

Enjoy your trip!

I thought everyone knew there was no such place as Canada, It's a myth, invented by the American Medical Association to scare the supporters of nationalized health care...

Isn't it? After all, everyone knows that the northern border of the US is so cold in the winter that going any further north would cause you to freeze solid after September...
