Venice -wasnt there long enough last time

Venice is great, for some reason a lot of jaded tourists despise it and always claim it's dirty. I have been there twice and like it more everytime. One of the few cities I have been to that is exactly as it's portrayed in pictures, movies, etc. Sure it's touristy, that's why we want to go because we are tourists.

Jake if you make it back over there Verona is a must see city as well. Home to Juliet, well supposedly anyways. It's not that far from Venice and is well worth a day trip. Milan and Pisa however are shitholes and I wouldn't waste 2 minutes going to either one ever again.

Go in summer - you want no part of SK in winter

Yes, and no.

Ice fishing or hockey are always fun. And, you can drink beer doing both.

But, as you have touched on, mostly no. But the summers are outstanding.

Oh I know. Verona would be on the top 10 list. I didn't mind Pisa but I don't have a desire to go back either, one day was enough. Just had to get the standard photo pushing over the tower.

1. Canada - I haven't exactly narrowed it down specifically but i know some people that go up there every year for the fishing. Also would like to take a Canadian Moose.
2. Alaska - Grizzly Bear. Nuff said.
3. Grand Canyon - I'm pretty sure my parents took me there when I was young, but I don't remember it.
4. Hawaii - For the volcano's. Guy at work goes there every year and takes pictures, there is some amazing sights down there.
5. Germany - Heritage

This is more in order of how feasible it would be to get there. My number 1 on the list would be Africa for some dangerous game hunting but i doubt i'll ever make it out there.

You have to get drawn for a moose. And, when you do, tags are $325 before you've spent a cent getting here. Then, once you do, you pay outfitter non-resident fees. Then, you go out, and maybe get a shot at one.

It's an extremely expensive endeavour.

Oh, i'm completely aware of the expenses involved in hunting moose above the boarder.

It's almost as expensive when we go out to Wyoming to hunt Elk. The thing that makes it much cheaper is that we have friends out there that know the public land extremely well and we don't have to pay for any type of guiding service.

Go to Newfoundland. Guaranteed you'll bag one. It's a long haul from where you are tho

1. Hawaii - it's pretty commercialized now but it's still Heaven.
2. New Zealand - I want to hunt there.
3. Brazil - I want to see the festivals where (as Anthony Bordain says) "the smell of ass crack permeates the air".
4. Germany - I want to drive on the autoban
5. Alaska - I want to see real wilderness

Surprised that more haven't added Ireland. Always figured it was a haven. Seems that Scotland and England have better looking women! :)

we moose hunt just south of Dryden, Ontario in an area just of the highway from dryden to fort francis, Ontario. This year my BIL shot the biggest bull I have ever seen in 22 years of hunting. It won moose of the year, and had a rack over 5 feet wide

That is a solid moose. Do you know the rack score?

no idea. Here is a pic of him holding the rack after we cut it off. Keep in mind Colin is 6'3 and weighs 225 for a good sense of scale.
