YK Thom Posted February 3, 2017 Share Posted February 3, 2017 Spent a week up north attending a regional economic development meeting (Sahtu Region),in Norman Wells NWT. Great little town and one of my favourites. Very nice in the summer as it is right on the Mackenzie River. My GM came with me this trip as we had a few clients to visit at the same time. The local legion has a nice meeting room that is well booked for many local events. Nice and handy to the pub side once the days wrapped up. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YK Thom Posted February 3, 2017 Author Share Posted February 3, 2017 If I hadn't spent so much marital capital on those new speakers I would have bought this Dall Sheep mount on the spot. $3400 Canadian, which is pretty good. There are a number of hunting lodges around Norman Wells - moose and sheep are the big draws. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
