  1. And now I just read that one of the eight girls who beat the homeless man to death in Toronto has been granted bail. I guess she must have promised to be a good girl...
  2. The entire judicial system is a friggin JOKE!!! The first thing that needs to happen is the J.P.'s and Judges need to be held accountable (like that will ever happen!). The sentence needs to fit the crime. The charges that this guy was facing, among a slew of others, were assault with a weapon x 2, forcible confinement, flight from police AND he was on a lifetime firearms prohibition. The police need the powers back to do their job properly and funding to tackle the REAL gun problem!!
  3. Mery Christmast and all the best!
  4. That's the way I used to hunt the bunnies as a kid, growing up on 15 acres north of Huntsville, with a .22 and open sights.
  5. Good for you!! I find that so many people hunt for the rack (yes, I'm still talking about 4-legged hunting!). If you have a tag, fill it and get some meat in the freezer, it could very well be the only chance you get. Well done!!!
  6. We are a camp of 6 owners with about another 8 or so associates. There were 9 of us at camp for opening day. A 10th was walking in when the shot was taken.
  7. I shall Bill! And what you see behind him is what really made it difficult to see. So many leaves still on the saplings!
  8. My good friend Shawn and his bull.
  9. Greetings all! Well, 2022 saw the group I hunt with fill our second bull tag in two years! A few of us made it into camp on Saturday to set things up and get organized. By Sunday evening the rest of the stragglers arrived. Our plan Monday morning was to go in different directions and remain on watch for a few hours. This is what we usually do so that we can get a feel of what's been moving around recently. While we sit a couple of us will call. The spot I usually go to is a hardwood ridge with water all around, same spot where I shot my bull last year. After 3 1/2 hours my good buddy Shawn slowly started to wander. He made it to my location and we talked for a couple of minutes. Apparently I was the only one to see any fresh sign with a cow and calf track about 100 yards from where I was sitting. Shawn left me and continued to wander. After about 5 minutes there were two well spaced shots and a "WOOOO HOOOO" as he had bagged a nice bull, 11:30 on opening morning and our hunt was over and the real work was about to start. The area had received a lot of rain over the previous couple of weeks so it make walking in the bush pretty silent. Shawn had walked to within 30 yards of the 45 1/2 inch animal as it was laying down chewing on browse. It had been laying there when I walked in but due to the dense leaves still hanging on the smaller trees I was unable to see him. I would have been within about 40 yards and I'm sure he just laid there listening to me. The rest of the week was spent clearing trails, cutting wood and eating like kings like we always do. Getting an animal is always a bonus. If I can figure out how to post a pic I will.
  10. That's awesome!! I was up at our camp this past weekend to prepare for the upcoming gun hunt. Quite a bit of fresh sign around so I'm hoping that lady luck can be on our side in less than two weeks. Again, CONGRATS!!!!
  11. The reservoir behind the floral clock. The smallies in there were large and plentiful and more than wiling to take pretty much any offering.
  12. Ahhhhh, the days of fishing the reservoir!!!
  13. Not I, I only hunt turkey down here. I'll be heading to the hunt camp in October for moose then back up there for the second week of the rifle hunt for deer. I have a couple of properties that I COULD hunt deer on down here but I've never done it.
  14. Any fish is a good fish, glad that you got out and met with some success. I should have some free time on my hands very soon!
  15. This may be a silly question but does it matter what carrier you have for your cell phone?
  16. The original house was built in 1910 then there was an addition to the rear of the house. The shoulder is good but I'm sure I'm down a few pounds from working in the 40+ humidex (I feel for you Tyler!!). I should be good to go come September Bill, I'll let you know! Watch out carp!!!!!!!
  17. Aside from a trip a few weeks back to Lady Evelyn Lake (we did quite well!), I haven't been fishing. My summer has been consumed working on my son's first house. Took it down to the studs and built it back. We are now seeing the light at the end of the tunnel and they should be in in another couple of weeks.
  18. Confirmed that it is Wayne Egerter who butchered a couple of my buddies deer over the years and they swear by him. 2103 Egerter Road, 905-341-2721.
  19. I've heard of a guy in the Thorold/Allanburg area. If that might work I'll get his name for you.

    Nice day to be on the water today Tyler, good job! That one walleye is a chunker!!!
  21. I was lucky enough to get a bull tag this year. We had a bull tag last year as well that I filled for our group with my first ever moose! Just getting away, spending time in the bush is time well spent, knocking down an animal is a bonus.
