That's a kind, hospitable offer, Johnsd. I'll take you up--only I'll buy, and you can give me hunting and fishing tips.

Thanks for the offer, Sundance. I'll take you up on the lunch--I'm buying. And I'll happily listen to any hunting and fishing tips.

I wish you the best and I hope everything is well and this isn’t a move because someone is ill. Thanks for your concern. We're moving to be near our son's family and our grandkids while they're still growing up. They moved to CDL, my daughter-in-law's home town, a couple years ago. Our grandkids spent most of their lives in Alaska, and we miss them. Jim

About 5 years ago I almost bought an acre parcel just outside of CDA for $19,000. That lot would be around $75,000 now.
Crazy prices around CDA these days. Liberals can't stand their own policies but keep voting for them.
Give an illegal alien a fish and he eats for a day. Deport him and you never have to feed him ever again!

Where IS Boco? He used to leap to defense of Canada's honor.
Maybe he could explain why there is a business in Tok, Wolfe Arms, that makes money by shipping long guns rejected by Canada customs. Some poor schmuck has to drive ninety miles back to Tok because some self important Canadian customs agent at the Beaver Creek crossing doesn't like his looks. The law leaves it up to the discretion of the individual customs agent. Meaning, you can't plan for what guns to take. If you take any rifle, you're gambling on having to enrich Wolfe.
I'll have to find another way to get my guns to Idaho.
I'm also discovering just how much work it is to move from a place you're lived for 37 years.

James good luck in Idaho I grew up in CDA was back a few yrs ago and simply no way I could live in that rat race again you can’t even drive to most of the places I hunted growing up
As for your gun issue I think I can solve the problem I will be in town sometime this spring to buy lumber and stuff for the summer projects I have to get done you can just give them to me to take care of while you are gone and if or wheb you return I will get them back to you😂
We get out of life only as much as we really want and work hard enough to achieve

Jim He may have been shipped off to the looney bin to work out his dysphoria and delusional issues.

May have changed since I did it but then you can take all your guns to air freight and ship them to yourself and pick them up there. For the 5 months I lived in the states in 2002 I just packed them all up dropped them at the airport air freight in anchorage and picked them up in Tacoma just regular freight charges. If I remember right I had to have everything with me to box them up because the checked each one to make sure it wasnt loaded and I boxed them up there and they shipped them.

Where's Boco? I want to complain to a Canadian about the reply his government sent me, when I asked how many rifles I could bring through Canada. I'm hoping to avoid shipping a few of my nicer rifles and shotgun and bringing them with us when we drive out of the state. These aren't ARs, they're bolt-action and single shot sporting rifles and one over/under shotgun.
Their form reply said they cannot advise as to specific situations, and it is entirely up to the discretion of the customs agent at the border crossing!
This means I have to drive 93 miles from Tok, Alaska, to the Beaver Creek crossing, find out if I and my rifles happen to please the border agent, and possibly drive the 93 miles back to Tok, if they won't let me cross. Tok is the nearest settlement on the US side from which I could ship a gun.
And I thought the US government was bad.
Jim If I remember correctly Jim you are a fan of the Ruger #1. I believe that is on the BANNED list of firearms in Canada now. Have you checked into taking them on the ferry system and avoid Canada altogether White 17 believing and above being a fact may be two different things. I believe, as silly as some of our firearms regs may be, that the Ruger #1 single shot rifle is not banned. Too silly even for Canada. Time for a fact check. I am not gonna do it as believe it not to be true.

So we gun users talk in terms of foot pounds muzzle energy not joules. 10,000 joules is 7,375 foot pounds in hunter talk. And yes devil in details noted and well this flagged publicly.
