When hunting on standard time I have to get up by 4:30 am at the latest to get to my blinds before daylight as I have a 55 minute drive to the farm. So yea Bill, I guess I am showing my age a bit. 😴 I personally like being set up in my blind well before daylight, so I was getting up at 4:30 already for my fall hunting. If I hadn’t gotten my deer already, I’d be getting up now at 3:30 for standard time hunts!

Tender Cuts in Pt. Colborne. My usual butcher wasn’t answering his phone - turned out he had a water problem, and just returned my call after I had taken the deer to Pt. C.

I like DST for morning hunts because you don’t have to get up quite so early.

Got my venison back today from the butcher. Carcass weighed 85 pounds, and I got 48 pounds of boneless meat back, so worked out well. And it really tastes great!

Way to go! Nice buck.

Was a field full of beans next to the field edge where my blind is.

Today was the first day of the controlled gun hunt. I got lucky - at 7:30 I had a big doe come running thru the field and stopped just 40 yards away - bingo! We must be in for a long, cold winter as I have never seen so much fat on a deer before! I was tossing the cut off fat into an 11 litre pail as I worked on her, and by the time I finished had the pail over 80% full.

Ditto! With. 4-wheel drive Jeep Cherokee and good Michelins, I never need snows here in Niagara, cause we tend to get more icy roads than snow. I did put them on my Jeep when we lived near Midland for 8 years, cause they got FAR more snow there.

Way to go!! you will always remember that one.

On Oct. 11 at 11 pm, 2 guys in a red Dodge pickup and 2 guys in a white Dodge pickup broke into the Dunnville Hunters & Anglers fenced compound by cutting the padlock off the chain link gate, then cut 2 locks off our dump trailer and stole it. This is a major loss for our club, as the trailer was worth about $10-12 thousand. If anyone knows any info about this theft, please call the OPP.

No way I could haul my old butt up from the whirlpool. Are there any places in NOTL that you can fish the river from the shore? I’m looking at Google Earth views of NOTL, and it looked like there might be some shore access near the marina or Navy Hall.

I’m assuming you are all talking of fishing the channel at Pt. Dalhousie, but I have never fished there. Since I sold my boat last year I’ve got to start looking for more shore fishing options. Can you park and fish on the east side near the boat ramps - I don’t have a long net for pier fishing. And do you all eat them, or are you just doing catch and release?

Neat video this morning on the Weather Network of an OPP cruiser escorting a moose down the highway near Sudbury, and the moose is following right along like a dog on a leash!

I remember my 1970 Corolla with CTC studded snow tires on it - icy roads were never a problem w it. Also remember sitting in my garage pulling the studs out with pliers, and cursing the govt. with every pulled stud for banning them!!

I had snows on my old Jeep Cherokee when we lived near Midland for 8 years after I retired, and they were needed there in some winters - in 2007-08 winter, snow was almost 5 feet deep everywhere by March 1st! However now, living here, I never bothered buying them for my current Cherokee - just have a good set of Michelin all season tires on it. Nowhere near the same amount of snow down here, and often more icy than snowy road conditions.

I just read this week’s Niagara This Week, and someone has posted a 3-column obituary about a bulldog!! Seriously??

Article said she was using an European carp fishing rig called a “withy pool rig” and a bait called marine halibut pellets.

Looks like you Niagara fishers got a ways to go to top this - article posted on web news: British Teenager Catches Behemoth 96-Pound Wels Catfish Apparently, she caught it within minutes after arriving at the lake, and then released it after photos, and went on to catch 5 more that day for a total over 400 pounds!!

They should have the same enforcement law type for stunt driving that the MNRF has for game/fish infractions! For them, if you get charged, everything u used to commit the infraction is seized, and, if convicted, the equipment is sold at auction - you don’t get it back! And the MNRF has seized and sold everything up to ATVs, boats, and planes! If a couple of these idiot drivers had their hot rods sold the rest of the idiots might get the message real quick!!

I have personally felt for many years that we have progressed WAY beyond the 18th century need for ”election by representation”. It was a necessity way way back when this country was first developing because of the vast distances, poor, slow transportation, and primitive communication systems, but we have progressed to the point where it is totally unnecessary today. All that we need today is ONE elected representative from each province/territory to propose a list of referendum items each month to be voted on by the entire country, then give everyone a time period (e.g., 7 days) to vote on each proposal electronically. Unfortunately, the politicians will be the LAST people to vote themselves out of existence…its a self-perpetuating curse on the country that we will never get rid of!

Just don’t buy Lund from Pt. Colborne Marine!! Wait weeks with your boat sitting in their yard to get service, then problem not fixed, but BIG bill for their “repairs”!! worst company I have ever dealt with, and once was more than enough!

Is their listed price per EACH, or is it a package?

I thought maize WAS corn…just another name for it. Whats the difference?

Oh to be young and have that amount of stamina!! My old body couldn’t stand to hunt or fish anything for a 12 hour period!!

Im pretty sure it was that cold front that went through that turned them off.
