Turkey season is around the corner, well its definitely coming. What are your go to ammunition/choke tube suggestions. I for one love the Winchester Long Beard XR loads. You don't have to use a turkey choke with these shells, however you still can. These shells deliver twice the number of pellets in a 12 inch circle up to 60 yards. Check out Winchester Long Beard XR shells the next time you go to buy some ammunition; you won't be disappointed.
Are you looking for an awesome outdoors store, offering, hunting and fishing equipment.

They carry Beretta, Browning, Winchester, Savage, Benelli, Ruger, Hoyt, Mission, Matthews, PSE, Bear to name just a few.
If you're looking for a good little knife for either hunting or fishing this is one well constructed knife, and holds a very sharp edge. It is available in both a fixed blade and a folder. I use mine constantly for everything.
The leupold VX-R 1.25 -4.0 fibre optic red dot scope, with adjustable intensity is one awesome little scope. Most hunters go with a 3-9 scope, but what they forget to consider is when hunting deer, bear or moose in Ontario a lot of your shots are under 100 yards. With the lower number and the fibre optic redicle it allows for quick target acquisition and no need to find your cross hairs in low light situations. Just put the dot on the animal and pull the trigger. With the zoom to 4.0 this allows easy target acquisition up to at least 200 yards; what more do you need? This is one awesome scope, with excellent eye relief, clarity is amazing, and guaranteed for life. Check it out at your local Sail Store in Ontario, they retail for around $859.00
The Tikka T3 Battue is an excellent gun for hunting in Ontario. This gun is made for quick target aquisition and is short, light and an awesome go to choice; especially if you want a gun with open sights. It sports a long rear sight with fibre optic sights on either side of the rear sight, and a fibre optic hooded front sight. The gun is available in either a wood or synthetic stock, and my personal choice would be .308 I would have no problems carrying this and confidently making shots up to 150 yards, which covers off most of the situations you will come across in Ontario. They retail for about $859.00 and can be purchased at Sail stores in Ontario.
Sail in Oshawa just received some Ruger 10/22's in stainless synthetic. Check out the photos below, this is exactly what they look like. They are 50th anniversary and I haven't seen this configuration before. So if you're looking for an awesome 22, you can't go wrong with a Ruger.
Sail Oshawa is now selling PSE Compound Bows, the Vision, and the Momentum are two of the models they are carrying. They also have some smaller PSE Compound Bows suitable for youth. Make sure to visit the store and check out the PSE Bows upstairs in the hunting department.
Looking for a new scope for your predator rifle? Sail Oshawa has some Simmons Predator Quest 4.5 - 18 x 44 scopes in stock as of February 10, 2014. If you're looking for one check them out in store at Sail Oshawa they are on sale for $129.99. I'm not sure how long the sale is continuing.
Sail Oshawa has received some ruger 10/22's as of February 6, 2014. If you're looking for a Ruger 10/22, either the Ruger 10/22 Sporter, or the Ruger 10/22 Carbine with laminate stock Sail Oshawa just got some into inventory. They won't last long so if you've been looking I'd get into the store ASAP.
This is one awesome scope from Redfield, being released in April 2012. This scope has extremely great optics which are clear, bright and crisp. Now if that wasn't enough it has a new added benefit of having a built in range finder and the accurange system........check out the video and watch for this scope to arrive at your local Sail http://www.sail.ca store.

There's a new Sporting Goods Store coming to town sportsfans. Thats right Sail is opening a store in Oshawa Ontario. Opening the first of December. Everything I've heard, and seen this is going to give outdoors enthusiasts one more place to shop; and all of their employees are experienced in the departments they are employed in............fantastic! Their prices are more than competitive, their products are all top notch and they are always having sales and other great incentives..........Here's the link to their information; check out their catalogue online, but remember this is only a small portion of what they carry, and the prices in the catalogue are not necessarily what you'll pay in store.......sometimes much lower. http://www.sail.ca/
With the weather forecasting warmer temperatures over the next few days, mixed with rain; it's that time of year! When all the local, avid, if not overly eager anglers dawn their waders, dust off their rods and head down to their favorite stream. With the remaining snow melt and rain forecasted it only goes to say that the rainbows if not already; soon will be heading up our local watercourses. Last year around this same time and on into April, I witnessed numerous anglers with fish in the 5,6 - 12 lb range headed back to their cars. Even though a lot of the watercourses around Oshawa, Bowmanville, Whitby and in general the north shore of Lake Ontario find their way through large developed urban centres............the fish still thrive. I'll keep you posted when they start catching fish, and provide some photos.
The ability for White tail deer to adapt to our cities and developed areas is amazing. The valleys and green spaces left within our residential and industrial areas provides all the habitat necessary for deer like this to survive and flourish. This photo was taken outside of our office which sits south of Bloor Street, south of the 401 in south Oshawa (Oshawa Creek valley) This is nice to see, however when wildlife populations start to grow and their numbers begin to rise, vehicle/animal crashes go up, deer jumping through windows in businesses and dwellings, and people walking the trail systems encountering animals. Not all people realize that deer, coyotes, bears, moose and other animals they may encounter especially during the breeding season can pose a serious threat/safety concern. If you do encounter animals on trails or in green spaces you should never approach them and definately don't feed them. They are amazing to observe and photograph.......enjoy our greenspaces.
Well spring must officially be here; on Friday March 28, 2008 I witnessed at least nine fisherman with approxiamtely 12 rainbows in the 4- 7 lb range being taken back to their cars from Oshawa Creek. A definite sign that spring has sprung, so it only goes to say that all the rivers along the north shore of Lake Ontario are full of fish. So take the rod along to work, and spend your lunch hour tying into a couple of bows.
