Good to hear you got it from Jaden TJ, cause I was wondering what the heck you were searching the web for when you came across that gem.

Nope, it was maybe 2 years ago. There was some sort of military awards program down in Peterboro about 15 miles to the south of me. This guy was gonna do a low fly past and was just marking time up here until it was his turn to go. There's a Herc that flies over head pretty well every day heading west then comes back again in the evening. I spose he's on a regular milk run from Trenton.

There used to be a show on TV called something like "When animals go bad" and it showed a video of a tourist in Banff walk right up to a male elk to take a close-up picture, and when he was within just a few feet the elk raised up on it's hind legs and stomped the guy to death.

I agree with you Matt and I hate to see animals killed if it can be avoided. A guy down the road from me shot a skunk with a 12 gauge recently because it "may" spray him.

Yeah, it sure is TJ, really huge.

No way hunters, or anyone else for that matter, could be expected to know all the different things natives hold sacred and I personally think their outta line for complaining about this. But that's just me

Yeah, that'd be him, looks like he's becoming quite the tourist attraction.

Sometimes VERY low. Thought I was gonna lose some trees with this one

Good to hear you fellas enjoyed those pictures and it really was a great experience to see that critter for the 1st time. As for the one Matt talked about in Ottawa yesterday, this mornings news reports that he was killed by police.

Yeah, it was a great find for sure and I was actually surprised at how big this guy was. His antlers had to be at least 3' long and probably as wide at the top too. Not sure about him causing trouble for the farmer though N.A.W. as this guy was laying back and soaking up the rays as if he owned the joint and didn't have a care in the world. I don't know if there's many wolves around here to cause him any troubles but I did have one on my front lawn a year or so ago. Plenty of coyotes though, but I don't know if they'd go after a critter as big as an elk...or would they ??

I had to go down to Peterboro this morning and on the way home, driving back up hwy 28, I spotted this elk in a farmers field among a bunch of cows and horses just a couple miles from my place and was able to get a few pictures. Elk were released in a few areas around Ontario back about 12 - 15 years ago and one of the places was Bancroft and they've evidently been spreading out since then. This guy is about 50 miles south of Bancroft. I was talking to a local farmer and he said this fella has been hanging around the area all summer. Here he is hanging out with a cow. You can just make him out on the crest of the hill above the horses butt. A close up This big guy wanted more attention than the elk This was the 1st elk I've ever seen and it's great to have him as a neighbor. Hopefully nobody decides to kill him.

If it was me Greg, I'd pass, but that's only my opinion.

Atta boy Rich !!

Too bad they didn't worry more about stiffer sentences for REAL criminals.

When fishing Pigeon I often use Gannons Narrows Marina to launch the boat. It's just east of the actual lake on the south shore of Gannons Narrows. It's getting a bit rough but still usable and they've also got gas & washrooms if needed.

If I was to find a gun I'd be calling the cops right away just to let them know I had it. Wouldn't want to be stopped for whatever reason and they find that gun in my possession when it shouldn't be.

Your a good man Skip, that's a job well done !! Good looking piece of property Jason and something you and your family will enjoy for many years to come.

Your right davey, I often feel like the OFC floormat

I catch plenty of BIG fish without a Ranger Brian

Actually Mike, it's a Skeeter, but your story is hilarious

HAHAHA

Guess who DOESN'T want it Brian

I'd like to see winter & snow on Christmas Eve then jump right into Spring the next day. Ice belongs in my COKE, not under my feet

Good to hear you liked it as it's been a favorite of mine for a loooong time.

If you ever get over to the eastern Kawarthas through the winter Rob, stop in here as I've got lots of deer in my yard every day.
