Wow, i didn’t know that Dave. I thought the rifle range had been shut down years ago?
You could be right, maybe it is down ? street view Nov 21 looks like it is still in use

Just an fyi to anyone in the grimsby area, the debate about firearms discharge in the area is restarting-again.
Personally, i thought they had a great model in the last bylaw, but that was recinded likely due to shooting waterfowl over the lake in close proximity to housing.
A public meeting is scheduled for march 1 from 6-8pm. An online survey is also asking for feedback.
the links are below.

I live not far from the Elizabeth Street pumphouse, they were at least a quarter mile offshore not in close proximity to housing , steel shot could never travel far enough to hit the homes , complete BS . Noise is not an issue , the DNA rifle range with full auto fire is far noisier just down the road near the new development west of Casa Blanca

That close up is showing a blood spot from the antlers ?
Toronto is north of Niagara so those northern deer are probably a week ahead of us ....
That deer I posted looks like he's an old fella judging by the white muzzle and by the way it walked in the video.
Deer hunters would know better than I about that .....
The farther north you go the later the rut, because spring comes later, they should be behind us

Truedope and his Lieberals are afraid of the first nations thugs. I have many FN friends that are great folks but the militant ones are bad news.
Took the crown 3 trials to get a conviction against Peter Khill after a not guilty on the first trial, tell me race and their anti gun agenda didn't play a part in that abuse of the court system , no double jeopardy in Canada you say

Ken Anger was as I recall a decoy maker of note from Dunville back in my days, the Black in the picture is his style

Spotted this on U.T. ,short clips .....
It looks like it has a John in the middle .....but great for releasing fish or using an ice fishing rod for jigging ....
Anyone happen to have this model ? They are called scrubber holes ...big enough to fish through ?
some mount an electric motor there, Das King Kayaks is one of them

I tossed my 14 v out with the other ones Dave . It still charged but not fully charged .
My very old "plug in" drills still work fine after 20+ years . "Instant chargeing time"
I got a 3/8 inch Skil brand plugin that I got when I did the interior of my '79 GMC van, it must be over 40 and still works well

I have a couple buddy's out near Goderich area that catch chickens and load trucks on the weekend...they make over 350$ cash in an 8 hour shift🤨...not sure that has anything to do with the inflation but ya it's ridiculous...I'm spending over 500$ a month with a family of 4 ....😕
I caught chickens in high school back in the 60's , at first we were getting $11 a thousand and at the end $14 a thousand. You could catch 2 to 3 thousand a night. maybe 5 hours work so $6 bucks a hour say, great money back then but it was a rough day in school the next day.

Chicken legs are now priced like sirloin steak ! I might be trapping some squirrels soon (nutty flavour) . We have plenty of them here !
Lube up Jack....help Loblaws make another 2 billion in profits .......
We WILL be eating some fresh pike next week ! (thinking positive)
At RCSS Tuesday they had a cooler , fresh whole chickens were $1.98 a pound and drumsticks were $3.49 a pound , thought it weird the drumsticks were so much, that price is usually for skinless thighs or breasts. Must be good money in cutting up chickens 🤣 edit: when are the grocers ever going metric with their advertising ?

I watched the price of the canned dog food at Costco go from $28.95 for 24 cans to $32.95 to $38.95 and finally last week $42.95 all in a little over a year

What a screw up today !
I decided to go to Port Dal . toss a few lures around for salmon , pike , or anything !
There was no parking anywhere and people everywhere . So I took a chance & parked in front of a door way .( which is seldom used now)
I grabbed my gear .....but where's my net ?? So I will check for minnows first & grab a coffee ....but where's my wallet ??
No money , no net , do I.D. or drivers license ....So, I checked for minnows (lots of people from T.O. ? , fishing from the walk bridge .
No minnows anywhere , so back to Rennie where there were about 50 people ?? Ah , they have some races going on !!
Did I pick the wrong day or what ?? Off I went straight home as I had no license .
BUT , I found a nice lure with 20 feet of line on the shore near the bridge ...don't know the name of it, but it looks nice in my tackle box .
I dug me up about 2 dozen red wigglers today from my mulch pile ....maybe a shore perch trip soon ....
Google lens say it could be a Storm Deep Thunder

I wonder what the actual charges are? Fraud? Fish and game regs?
I really don't see how any fish and game regs would apply here, but a few criminal code ones for sure

Old timer I fished with called them Yellows. That was from when there was yellows and blues in lake Erie.
I remember going out of Port Colborne for Blues with dad in the mid fifties , they were a small pickeral , average a pound and a half maybe rarely over 2, we would anchor deep water much like perching today and use minnows. Yellows were a trolling game , June Bug spinners were popular with a worm on the hook, they pulled like crazy for a 6 year old
edit: we called them Blue Pickerel the Yanks from Buffalo called them Blue Pike

As a kid we called some fish different names from what we call them now . Here are some ....
Walleye ................Pickerel
Small Mouth Bass .........Black Bass
Bowfin ..........dog Fish
Alewife ........Shiner
Log Perch ......Sand Pike
Burbot ....Ling , eel pout
Pumpkinseed .....sunfish
Now , "Walleye " makes more sense now because they have a walleye which glows when a light shines on them in the dark ....
This is my 10 lb. "eye" which I caught ice fishing the B.O.Q. and mounted it using a piece of aluminum foil inside the eye ....hanging in the basement.
Hence , it is a true wall eye .....
the common name Walleye was not adopted till 1933 so perhaps that is why you called them Pickeral in your younger days https://ontariowalleyefishing.com/ontario-walleye-biology-fishing-resource/

I'm still using an old 14.4 volt Mastercrap that I got before I retired, that was in 2008, it is at least 15 years old , uses NiCad pacs it is that old, Does the odd jobs I need it for.

Grew up a bike ride from St John's , when it first opened , guessing around 1962 , it was stocked with Brookies as were all the put and take ponds , think it was about '64 the put and take ponds changed over to Bows. Some Specs made it over winter cause there were some 14/15 inchers the 2nd year, doubt a Spec would last 5 minutes in what the pond had become today.

Thanks Dave ....another monet grab if they get away with it , and a tax on a tax is nothing new in Canada . They think we have lots of extra money saved after two years of going to nowheresville . I read that we pay the highest fees for cell phones and cable than other countries . I may end up using my debit card for everything . We still write cheques for some things .
I'm sure if this goes through every Tom, Dick and Harry will want to pass along the credit card's fee to the consumer

I remember naturalized Browns in a section of the old Welland Canal , probably near the GM plant on Glendale , back mid 50's before the stocking in the great lakes, Dad caught a few when I was a tyke
