2nd last day of hunting season, last one for me. Took these early this morning while looking to harvest a big and my 40th white tail buck, which didn't happen. The pics of the grey owl aren't all that sharp, although it appears to be bright out it was very low light conditions. Not a huge bull moose but he is a very beautiful one as all moose are to me.

Hi all, Got on the ice for the first time for the 2023/24 season. There was 6” of clear black ice, surprising given the mild weather. Got a couple small walleye and missed a few bites too, but the pike was the highlight, 39”er on 6lb test.

Check this guy out, unbelievable. And a very privileged fellow to have such a moose. Probably right around eighty years or more ago my Dad and his hunting and fishing buddy Ora, mayor of Niagara Falls at the time harvested a moose very similar in size. They flew into a lake north of Wawa. When I was in my twenty's and in good shape I could barely lift them and hold them long enough for a picture to be taken. Took four of us and and a rope to get them hung on the wall. My brother in Owen Sound still has them. I will look for the photo of them.

50 something years ago my dad and his buds were hunting up near James Bay. Dad was walking down a trail when a big ole bull came out from behind a clump of bushes and charged him. He was able to get a shot off and killed the critter but he said it was FAR too close for comfort. He kept the huge rack and had it in his home for years.

I miss early ice pike in pointe au baril. we used to fish on the worst ice ever right in front of our place…if you went in you ran inside and stripped down and jumped in the hot tub!

Beauty!

Beautiful fish Simon well played .

Those big critters can be darned scary when they get upset Barry, musta been pretty harrowing for you guys for that few seconds. I saw a Youtube video just this morning about tourists in Yellowstone trying to get up close and personal with bison to take selfies with them like they were baby goats on a farm. One guy got mangled pretty bad and a few others came close. Like the old saying goes, ya can't fix stupid.

Neat stuff... I hope hes not trying to milk it!

My buddy (divorced 3 times) now swears by the motto...the least expensive women are the ones you pay for upfront.. One might apply the same motto to computer programs..

For me antivirus programs are like women I have never paid for it i use the free ones avg and malwarebyte and with both I have never been infected
