tracking bears at night is kind of scary. .. nothing else is likely to touch it before morning anyways.. the problem with bears is their meat spoils very fast and the quality of it would depend on the temperature overnight .. a lot of guys bring a generator and freezer for the spring hunt...this guy probably has a lot of followers who will now want to hunt the same way but how many can make the same shot? Ethics and respect for the quarry should come first.. just because you can doesn't mean you should... kind of like fishing for muskie when the water temperature is in the 80's..

same here.. button batteries, AAA and AA, even portable fishfinder batteries...

I would talk to the ex to let her know that she may get a call.. your divorce is fairly recent so that usually results in one but if you have a good relationship with her there shouldn't be any problem. Hunting equipment is expensive but you can get the stuff you need over time. Bow hunting might be an option if you don't end up getting a PAL..

Looks as if the government in Alberta is going to outlaw hunting with a spear.. I think there's too much room for error myself.. with a bow you can hit the same 3 inch spot consistently from 30 yards, try that with a spear ... Celebrating excessively shows little respect for the animal..

The 19 year old was a very popular athlete in his school.. if a young ,healthy and strong guy like him can drown then anyone can.. The undertow can be deadly when the winds are blowing..

changed my post..not your bad..mine..lol..

we are running at half the normal rate which is cheaper than shutting down so i have time to watch the weather.. I see the boat heading back the marina now but I wonder if they missed the severe weather that passed by an hour ago.. 2 Sea-Doos and that boat on a Saturday afternoon when normally there are dozens..heed the warnings

I'm watching a boat in the harbor heading towards lake Ontario here in Hamilton.. a half an hour ago I couldn't see across it due to heavy rain with lightning.. not the smartest move..you never know when a storm will pop up on days like this.. not much rain at work yesterday or today but 15 minutes from here at home we had an inch or more..

Awesome report.. that trip will forever be in you and your son's memories..

I just can't see how anyone could support a guy who mocked a disabled reporter... he's running for president for gods sake.. imagine if you had a disabled child who fought their whole life to fit in and succeed only to be made fun of by the presidential candidate.... even if he loses he's already convinced his supporters that the election is rigged so he can't win... either way I see chaos..

Scary situation for our economy if Trump wins . If his campaign promises come true we could be facing an unemployment rate above 15%. There would be a trade war that we couldn't win. With a weakened NATO look for Russia to invade more countries while the US pretends it's none of their business. Our Arctic sovereignty will be a task as well.. it will definitely be a changed world..

If you are lucky a local will direct you to where you can dig for clams...

A lot of fish processing plants will sell you fish out the back door... Last time there I bought fresh haddock for $2.50 a pound.. if you buy lobster from the boat it will be cheaper or free as we found out in Cape Breton when they gave us 3.. we were offered a 10lb one but I told the guys it wouldn't fit in the pot!!.. Next year we will probably go back..

unfortunately that doesn't work anymore John.. there was a guy with 38 years service that scratched 2 shifts after taking 2 single days vacation and HR told him he said going to get a 3 day suspension for causing hardship to the company .. this is someone with a clean record.. fishing isn't a good enough excuse..lol

same problem with me sometimes.. 5 years now that I've had it and the doctors can't seem to help.. just more useless pills.. the only thing that has made a difference is going to a chiropractor in Ancaster that has Vertigo herself.. Dr. Slote.. it costs me $40 a visit but still better than missing work.. sometimes being in a rocking boat triggers it but water intake, stress, fatigue etc will also trigger it.. I had my boat out for the first time in 2 years and I did well.. natural health food stores carry something called Aconite which helps. I carry some everywhere I go..

there may be more wheat due to the depressed price of corn and beans.. as for crop rotation we haven't seen that around here.. the big players around my place just rent the land so taking care of it isn't high on their priority list.. just put more pellet fertilizer down, spray the round up and go...This year I have noticed that with the drought the fields that aren't rotated are doing poorly..20mm for the last month ... I'm not sure how much a field can sweat when the ground is dried up...

JoePa, I respect your opinion but I'm sitting here watching Obama and his Mexican counterpart at a live press conference and wondering just how Trump would handle these questions from the media.. He would only have approved media people to start with so anyone who asks the tough questions wouldn't even be there.. not even the Mexican president would be allowed.. It would appear that like many Americans that you rely on a very biased news feed.... This all reminds me of the propaganda that exists in many socialist and communist 3rd world countries...

Rain is a good thing..I wish we had some here in Hamilton

Check out Lens mill store for Marine Vinyl.. they have it for $19 a yard and I think it's 72 inches wide

The whole thing is very entertaining being on the outside looking in but terrifying at the same time.. I just can't believe that these 2 are the best of the best and will be in charge of a huge arsenal of nukes.. the country is a powder keg right now and no one seems to have a decent solution..

Those trailers aren't built that sturdy.. even a black bear could get into one if they so desired.. I would imagine that food could be motivating factor..lol.. when I go moose hunting we stay in a converted car trailer which is much sturdier but if the bear was really determined it could get in.. good thing they are pretty much in bed by the time we go...

That's a cool trip.. some of those back bays where the big boats anchor have some huge gar in them...I work the same shifts as your girlfriend and it sucks sometimes.. the family has to alter their whole weekend when I'm on the 3 nights...

OI, the pizza place in the falls is Antica. It's good but pricey.. I would have to say Chicago style or NaRoma in Hamilton would be just as good or better.. we are lucky that we have so many choices in restaurants here... http://theculturetrip.com/north-america/canada/articles/the-10-best-burger-joints-in-hamilton-ontario/

wow, that's some crazy "stuff"... Make America great again means what?? was it great in the 30's , the 50's or maybe the 70's?.. From the sounds of his running mate I would say they are aiming at the 50's when all was good and prosperous as long as you were a straight, white, anglo... What amazes me is how people become so committed to one or the other party that they are blind to any of the stupid stuff their party does or says..

I will make the occasional cast but when you are targeting trout and hook into a big pike the trollers get grumpy.. if I ever get back there I would love to have a second boat..
