How did all that stuff on the wall taste? How did ya get away with the Polar Bear? Thought they were a no no.

(1) I'm sure the tenderloin & backstraps were fantastic. As for the rest of the meat, you'd have to ask the local villagers that benefit from the trophy hunts as they are the beneficiaries of the meat harvested during hunts.

(2) Polar bears are doing just fine, don't buy into the global warming baloney... Ask all the hunters & trappers in the far north if you want a true census on polar bears.

Lions sure make some of those ungulates look tasty lol. Always wanted to try gazelle or cape buffalo.

Not a fan of air start, the old Wilga is the same. Cold weather starts are the same in a few floatplanes, they don't want to idle low and you have too much throttle on to stay docked, or on the ramp. Just have to taxi and warm up, can be an issue if operating off a river and you're not certain it isn't going to sputter and die yet.

The air start can be deleted and a conventional starter fitted. The doctor that serviced Kugluktuk when I lived there flew a moose with the air start delete. He quite liked it. And really, there is something about the radial that cannot be denied.

Yep that's a fact BUM............they never sound like they're running on all cylinders. NO THANKS.........I'll take a pancake or turbine anyday.

The USFWS listed them as "Threatened" due to the possibility that their habitat could become degraded due to climate change. Having lived in the North among polar bear hunters, I can say that we, in the Canadian Archipelago, have a great many polar bears. Plenty, in fact. The Americans are a different story. They have next to no Arctic territory and nothing in the way of islands which creates the areas where the bears live and summer. But, as Americans will, they have imposed their will on the rest of the world to the extent that they are able.

What we're doing with the aircraft belongs in a different era, fly in doctors, wilderness hunts, remote camps, and almost fitting when the aircraft does too. I've spent enough money leasing Beaver time to own a substantial portion of one and may well should have bought a Beaver. One place we disagree Douglas is round engines ;) , except for the operating costs they always sound like they're barely breaking a sweat. 16 litres of the 1920's finest technology here, and incredibly they stopped the production line for the 985 sixty-four years ago. Still going strong, still sucking down any bottom basement grade liquid marketed as gasoline at 6:1 compression, and still rattling hungover brains at 2,300 rumbling takeoff rpm as it has since the prohibition. I hope to upgrade to a Beaver just as parts are becoming impossible and operate her as a classic car of the air well past reasonably accepted lifetimes. It's an anachronism and something about that I can relate to.

 
The critters all taste great although they have varying degrees of toughness. Elephant is so tough as to be inedible

Polars bears are perfectly legal to hunt in CANADA and are only classed CITIES 1 by the US. One never puts CITIES 1 animals on public display, you know, like my Panda Bear or tiger or jaguar......... ;););)

I'm not rich, I just prioritized my funds differently from most, through my life and it doesn't bother me a bit to drive a 10 year old truck.........if I didn't hunt (or fly or collect cars or collect guns or any number of other reasons) I'd be rich.

The cost of keeping any retract twin in the air is triple a single fixed gear.........hard to justify unless commercial user.

My idea of the perfect bush aircraft is the turbine Pilatus Porter on amphibs. The T337 would be hard to beat as a short hop, light commuter........but then so is the 210 and almost as fast with 1 engine.
 
Beavers are just fick'n awwsum.
Maybe one day they'll be re-incarnated.

Now Douglas, the snowt on the right of that primo photo........belongs to.............?
 
I was on a Diamond drill in Quebec we wear on pull a bear poler bear watch but was not luck I so wanted to see one lol
poler bear are pretty cool wen your from BC I still get excited wen I see a Spirit bear
I have no desire to hunt in places like Africa but hunting a poler bear is my dream hunt but my pockets are not that deep lol
 
Yes C90 you most certainly are and I have mine up in my shop. Haven't done anything with them yet..........Legal sport taken ivory that has been Gov't of Country of Origin stamped is good to go anywhere, even the US as far as I know.
