    Wish Me Luck

    Well that's the game we play, you definitely put the time in. Sounds like a great trip nonetheless and congrats on the bear... How was the fishing? Bring back any 'eyes?

    NOSLER wants to see your success

    This is my 2014 (I think?) Ontario Whitetail taken at a laser-measured nineteen yards. It was a bit of a poke, but I had confidence in my setup at that range. :cool: He was quartering-to pretty hard, so that explains the exit... I had four minutes of shooting light left and had to thread the...

    What's your favorite bullet

    I can't disagree Redman, both my dad and I have used NAB's for years in .277, .308 and .338 and have yet to have one fail. They are top-shelf balistically. I guess there may be more accurate bullets, and there may be tougher bullets, but I haven't found one that's better at both. It's hard to...

    Feelings toward "let's go kill $h!-"

    No issue with this at all in a private setting, totally has to be taken with context. However, I really don't think it has a place within the hunting media, or even on a personal Facebook page, for example.

    Bear Meat?

    Might be a spring bear thing, I usually get them in the fall. They eat a ton of oats and blueberries here all summer. My experience has been quite different.

    Bear Meat?

    As mentioned above, sausage and other cured stuff are great, and they free up some my venison for other things. I've taken to bear hunting as a freezer filler for the last few years. Since Ontario killed the spring hunt 10 years ago, they have exploded in numbers and are a blast to hunt...

    Browning blr

    There are quite a few guys around here that swear by them, I'm a big fan of the original BLR Lightweight (.308-length) rifles. They are light, slick and handy as hell. You'll love yours, especially if you're already a lever guy. I have a buddy with one in .300WSM, which is somewhat cumbersome...

    Ontario Moose Draw Results Are Up

    Rainer, Turns out one of the guys in our group drew a bull tag, so I'll be helping him fill it. It's his second in three years... go figure. The elk draw intrigues me, but with all the private land down there in elk country, I worry that I'd spend my entire summer travelling south to knock...

    Ontario Moose Draw Results Are Up

    Results are up now, antlerless deer goes up August 8. Nothing for me, once again. Not surprising, draw odds are somewhere around 2% where I am in WMU 39. Anybody get lucky? MNRF Draw Results

    Small Game Archery Hunting

    Beer cap behind the field point works as well, if slightly less proper!

    Ontario Moose Hunt

    The way I understand it, Ontario has a long and convoluted history of ignoring scientific data when managing large game populations. In the 1970's there wasn't such a thing as a moose tag, you buy a license, you kill a moose. Then sometime in the late 80's I believe, the government instituted...

    Ontario Moose Hunt

    Moose in Ontario are being attacked from all sides. Government funding of areal surveys is down, as is enforcement. We're getting damn good at hunting calves after 25 years chasing them. The bears are hard on calves, although nobody seems to know to what extent. I'm sure the wolves get their...
