Hi again,
In keeping with the seasonal changes here in New Brunswick, Ross has finally given in to the temptation of the great Canadian tradition of hunting ("when it gets too cold to go fishing you go hunting"). Having gone to the obligatory firearms safety course and been cleared by the RCMP he is now the proud holder of a Canadian firearms possession and acquisition licence and a new rifle.
On the way to the quaint village of McAdam to purchase said new rifle (Stevens model 200 in .223 cal for those who are interested) we passed a beaver hutch and thought you may be interested to see how large they can be.
Having joined a local gun club we made our first visit to their range to shoot and sight in the rifle and the scenery even at the range entrance was spectacular.
The range trip was partially successful in that we managed to set up a zeroing target and get some rounds down range but it got so cold that it was impossible with frozen fingers to make the adjustments or eventually even to load the weapon.
Even Murphy the ever faithfull "gun dog" decided that it was much warmer in the car.
So until our next update stay happy, safe and well.
Love to all,
Bev, Ross and Murphy
