what big cliff said but also; Join one the many forums which have many great members such as this one who will offer great advice and over time friendships will emerge and possible hunting experiences with some. Here are few links of sites to which I am a member of and they are always welcoming new members with questions. I love the fact that you are wanting to learn to hunt, a lot of hunters have been members in camps for many years so new fresh blood is not always welcome until you gain experience and trust. Good luck and here are some good local forums: http://www.ontariotrophybucks.com/ http://www.huntontario.com/ http://ontariohunter.proboards26.com/index.cgi

Congratulations to the hunter on his potential record harvest. I would love to be fortunate enough to take a moose of that magnitude one day. Very smart to take a picture with the Remington brand ammunition for future company marketing opportunities.

Thanks Brian and Leechman, good luck to anyone who still has a tag like me , only 2 weeks to until the controlled hunt here where I usually get to see some quality bucks, unless I arrow one the before then.

I have been using Moultrie D40 and the Stealth Cam for the past few years and they seem reliable.

Here are 2 brands I have had good experiences with and continue to wear while hunting in December and ice fishing all winter . Irish Setters and Lacrosse (Alpha soft shell) I have several pairs from 400 grams to 1200 grams. Remember you get what you pay for and having warm and dry feet is very important to make your outdoor experience an enjoyable one, instead of saving a few bucks. Make sure you get GORETEX as the brand of waterproof protection the best out there guaranteed. I had a poor experience with Rocky boots a few years ago as the sole separated from the boot and they leaked, this is when they started to manufacture them in China and the quality I believe suffered. IMHO You can get a good boot these day for under $200 and recommend the Irish Setters and Lacrosse brand as I also wear them for work and are the prefered boot of the OPP and MNR.

Tough 1st week for rifle hunt this year at our camp in WMU 49 (Dunchurch area). The start of the week was hot (dogging in a T-shirt) and then the last part of the week was better as the animals started moving. A couple of the boys got shooting early in the week but had nothing to show for their efforts. We usually have better luck dogging/pushing then we do sitting but not this year as all our deer were taken sitting in ladder stands/climbers. Then on the Wednesday I shot a big doe and got some meat on the pole. The whole week I saw lots of moose and had a real close encounter with a bull at about 10 yards while doing a push . Also saw a decent bear but a good shot never presented itself, so the furry fellow then disappeared over a ridge. Then on the Saturday I saw a doe approaching my stand coming up from a dry marsh but she was looking over her shoulder periodically. About 30 seconds later I see Mr. Buck appear in some thick stuff about 75 yards from where in sitting in the ladder stand. So I let him have it with the Tikka Whitetail 30/06 right in the boiler room, lights out. The doe took off like a rocket no chance in harvesting her. Not a huge deer like other years, decent size body but a 5 pointer and some more meat for the freezer. Great friendship, food, conversation, stories/lies retold, many beers and rye's and laughs all make me proud to be a hunter. Now I can concentrate back home here for a trophy with the bow and the controlled hunt in 2 weeks. I was out last week and saw 2 nice bucks I hoping to meet up with now that the snow is here. I have had great success in December locally with bigger quality deer.

played a few Junior games in that old barn myself back in 87-89 as a visitor, brought back some memories but Windsor had the different colour uniforms.

What about "Rugby Pants", I'm thinking they may on the comeback as well.

Just kidding Disspatcher, I have many friends in Keswick. Irt is nice when the lake freezes I can be over to their place by sled or ATV in 15 minutes instead of 45 minutes by road.

Not really the info. you are looking for but I have been commuting from Innisfil to Brampton (407 & Airport rd.) for 10 years. 45 mins.-1hr. aslo. Maybe consider moving to the West Side of Simcoe. We have a saying in Innisfil, "flush twice it's a long way to Keswick".
