We are having a regular Fall season this year, some warm days and some cooler. Despite the ridiculously wet spring the grouse are numerous. I finally got out the last week to shoot a few, took a rod along too to shore fish. my son took his Hunter’s and Firearms course this spring and we got out for the first time yesterday. He’s a very good fisherman but just not really into it, he loves hunting though. He’s using a .22 I got for him for his Birthday, neither of us are used to it yet, and while we managed 5 shots at birds yesterday we alas ended up birdless, but he loved it and is pumped to go again. Can’t wait for him to get his first bird!

Finally out on Erie for some perchin. lets just say it was a great morning bite. Too busy with the rod and reel pull out the camera.

No , you don’t get it they have the right to kill every predator that walks on their property their numbers would be devastated. If they had to depend on insurance the cost of beef would rise and you would play for it one way or another 1.4 million people fish in Ontario , including visitors. And 15 million people in Ontario. So about one in 12 people fish. I wonder how many of them eat Ontario beef , pork and lamb i think it all balances out in the end

For many years the government has been putting out misinformation about cats here in Ontario a farmer had a calf killed by a cougar, he did the paperwork to get some money from the government for that killed calf. They rejected his claim and told him there are no pumas anywhere near him, it must be a bear. He redid the claim to get the money a month later he shot , killed and buried that deformed light coloured “bear” with the long tail that was going after another calf

Into the mountains before deer opener looking for a buck. A meadow opened up and deer are there. This is the place to be on deer season opener. Sneak into the edge of the meadow. No deer tracks and no deer in sight. Scanning the edge two sets of eyes see each other at the same time. In a split second a big cat bounds across the meadow straight at it’s lunch. Just enough time for one round at 10y. It hits solid. The cat is done. The horse don’t like the cat but he pulls the beast off the mountain.
