The incident described sounds familiar enough that I assume it was discussed here but I can't say for sure. http://www.nugget.ca/2014/08/05/pair-fined-in-moose-chase-incident Two West Nipissing residents have been fined at total of $3,500 for unlawfully hunting a bull moose and using a vehicle to pursue the animal following complaints about a YouTube video of the incident. According to the Ministry of Natural Resources, Cory Crowder was fined $2,000 and Stephanie Pellerin was fined $1,500 in relation to the incident last fall in which a moose was chased off a bridge. In addition to the fines, the two West Nipissing residents were ordered to destroy all copies of the video filmed on the night of the offence and remove all related Internet postings. Court heard that in October 2013, the Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry received complaints from the public about a video posted on YouTube. The video, taken by Stephanie Pellerin from inside the vehicle on the night of October 10, 2013, clearly showed the vehicle pursuing the moose while Crowder was driving. The moose was visibly distressed. The moose was chased off the Smokey Creek Bridge where it jumped, and died of its injuries. Crowder later returned with a friend to retrieve the moose. Justice of the Peace Michael Kitlar heard the case in the Ontario Court of Justice, on July 16. In addition, a North Bay man has been fined $1,500 for deer hunting offences in a separate case also heard by Kitlar that day. David Munro pleaded guilty to charges under the Fish and Wildlife Conservation Act and associated regulations. He was fined $500 for unlawfully attaching a game seal to a deer killed by another person, $500 for attaching the wrong seal to an antlerless white-tailed deer and $500 for failing to provide required information on a deer seal. Court heard that on November 9, 2013, Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry conservation officers conducted a hunting camp check at 211 Dowdall Road in Nipissing Township where they observed three harvested deer hanging from a meat pole in front of the camp. They inspected the three deer and game seals. An investigation revealed that Munro attached another person’s antlered deer seal to an antlerless deer. An antlerless deer can be harvested only if the hunter or hunting party holds an antlerless deer validation tag. Munro also tagged another deer he had harvested with his own seal, but failed to notch out the required date and time of the kill on the seal.

Had to save this until I could read it at home. Worth the wait.

If you've heard one wood flute....

I'm not here to judge, just don't post it please.

Nice work Zamfir.

Johnson weedless minnow tipped with a plastic grub, or some other such trailer. A large plastic minnow with a weedless hook, or texas rigged. Any pike spoon can be made more weedless by using a single hook and a plastic trailer rigged so that the hook point is covered. Spinner baits can work as well.

I would have thought that the reel seat would give before the foot?

Awesome to see little lakers. Do they still do a fin clip on the stocked ones?

If the lake does have a thermocline I would think it is very unlikely that it will turn over in mid August. The better question might be does it develop a thermocline in the first place. Some lakes never do. Some lakes only do it if the summer is hot enough and/or the winter didn't last too long.

Tis August. I'd almost forgot. Edit to add that those are some nice salmon.

There are a few options. Personally, I don't worry about staying dry in the middle of summer. I do however wear clothes that dry very quickly. Jeans and cotton are the worst. For under a $100 you can get any number of plastic suits that will keep the rain off of you. The down side is that you also stand a good chance of sweating so much that you're no better off then if you didn't wear anything especially in the summer, but for the occasionally use they are very useful and economical. I have the guidewear from Cabela's (bib and jacket) works great. They were on sale a few years ago and I saved a few hundred dollars. If you're not using it much it's hard to justify spending $300-400 for the good stuff.

All Aluminum pick-ups are all part of this game now to.

Brutal. Still a long way till winter.

So how much money does Mtl figure they saved by spending 90 minutes telling an arbitrator (and PK himself) that PK wasn't worth the money they then signed him for less then 24 hours later?

Apparently Dustin Johnson went to the habs school of relationship management.

I am actually. Given his offensive potential and their lack of scoring I think they took a stand (for the second time now) with the wrong player.

Mapleview drive. And get there early because traffic is never good and the Target, right next door, opens this weekend.

Wonder if it's wild? http://www.torontosun.com/2014/07/30/cougar-town-exists-and-its-here-in-ontario

Something else to consider is bucket of some sorts to put a few panfish in. Sometimes that is more entertainment then the fishing.

I really like a mild summer, but I know that it doesn't come without consequences.
