More great footage, Justin.............

I have been surrounded by coyotes many times when bow-hunting from tree stands. Sometimes it seems they are just out of my range of view. YES it is unnerving, to say the least. Get attacked by a pack of coyotes, armed with a bow, you might get one shot............ There have been very few coyote attacks on people, but I am not jonesing to be one of the lucky lottery winners.

You might want to bring a baseball bat with you into that ground blind...............even the NCC anti-hunters have not banned baseball in the "green belt."

Back to knuguy...............that must have been quite the club and its annual awards night..........I can see the MC: "Gentlemen, the three finalists for Onanist of the Year are..........." to wild if somewhat sticky applause.............

PS to limeyangler) That was why, in reply #5, I referred to Miss Thumb and her four little hand maidens..............

back to Fisherman, guilty as charged.

Although the time that BOTH wheel bearings blew out, and molten bits of bearings shredded BOTH my tires, I had loaned my big boat to Marcel for the open water season. Seems he was fond of launching "Watchdog" and leaving the trailer in the water at the ramp while he got rigged etc........

And Marcel is harder on equipment than I will ever be.................

The fact remains that a trailer is another thing that can go wrong, especially if a person is technically inept like me.............

Doug

back to limeyangler.............on the contrary, a wanker is what the guy will be.................

Miss Thumb and her Four Little Hand Maidens come to the rescue.............

Reminds me of a Very Short Fairy Tale:

Once upon a time a guy asked a girl to marry him. She said no, and he lived happily ever after.

Doug

No sir you do NOT need a haircut. If anything you need to grow MORE hair, both on top of your head, and on your chin.

And those are BEAUTY whities!!!!

Doug

PS) I still cannot do a quote here and cut/paste takes away all of the spaces in my reply. But anyways I agree 100% with what chris.brock wrote.

I have been broken down on major highways several times with blown bearings, and I am here to tell you, NOTHING screws up a fishing trip like finding places to get a trailer fixed alongside the 400/401/etc..............

Doug

if I can avoid towing a trailer, I do, trailers have bearings, lights, tires, add weight and add complications

in my opinion, I would put the canoe on top Lucas

DITTO!

We can be of a lot more help if we know what you want to use the boat for, and where. A Great Lakes boat might be too big for small water. A boat that I can take comfortably on all of our back lakes might be NFG for Lake Ontario. I will NEVER go back to a console/steering wheel, but there are folks who will NEVER buy a tiller boat.

And so on.............

Doug

Justin, I did not think to mention this before............but if you are not a hunter, perhaps you don't know that your scent can stay on the trail camera and will spook animals. I learned this the hard way with a magnificent buck that investigated my trail camera the day I put it up in September or so, turned tail and I never saw him again all season.........

So if you don't already do so, it is a good idea to spray your camera with a commercial scent killer each time you put it up/check the card/etc. It makes a big difference.

But maybe you already knew that!

Doug

back to Art..............yep, those would be the ones! Until they check the DNA............

Doug

back to Art............I would be pleased to do that but of course here in Ontario it is illegal to buy, sell, trade, barter, etc fish and game..............

Just sayin'.........

Doug

back to davey buoy................that takes more brain power than I can muster most days so I have not even tried yet.

But I DID can a bunch of goose breasts today, some with bacon and others with bacon and maple syrup. So I did actually spend some time doing productive things..............

Doug

back to jds63................

I think you are the first person ever that I have read who named Carl Wilson Lake as a destination. It was my absolute favourite lake in the park!

Doug

I was going through the park many years ago and nearing the Eastern gate, when a large critter ran across the road in front of me. I got a very good look at its hind quarters and tail as it disappeared - and even though there was "no such thing" in Ontario at that time, I had absolutely seen a cougar. All kinds of interesting animals to see in the park!

That wolf print could not have been much fresher unless he was standing in it!

Doug

Thanks Justin. I was not looking to get into an argument..............and yes the photo (thumbnail) looks to my eyes like a coyote rather than a wolf. As I said earlier, the paw prints would be the dead give-away.

Hope you get more photos - and maybe in daylight! (Of course, you know that I would be looking to set up a bait and a blind..............)

Doug

Justin, cool video and thanks for showing it here. I would be interested to learn if a biologist agrees with your conclusion about the species. I have little experience with wolves, but quite a bit with coyotes, and that looks to me like a coyote. Not trying to rain on your parade...............and of course if you found tracks the next morning where the critter had been, and they were the size of your palm, then that was no coyote! Just curious................

Doug

aplumma also suggested Google Chrome. I tried it twice, hated it, had any number of problems with it and cannot see myself going back to it.

But I am an old fart and not only technophobic but also a technonincompoop...................

Internet Explorer (I think) Not Firefox, for sure...........

Thanks Art. I am using Windows 7 Professional, and do not have these problems with quite a number of other Internet sites....

When I push the "Quote" button on a post that I would like to quote, essentially nothing happens, and it does not show up in my reply box, neither on the first page nor on a "more reply options" page. I can cut and paste by enabling html on the latter page, but then the text appears with no spaces. And on a hot button, usually I get a little yellow star with an "X" in it (which leads me to think it is a pop-up blocker problem). That one I think I can fix if I fart around with it long enough................

Ah, the heady challenges of an Internet Adventurer!

Doug

Welcome aboard, but.............

Watch out for threads dealing with Conservation Officers and/or Lake Nipissing.............

(spoken as a fellow newbie....)

Doug

OK I have been here a few weeks now and have learned a few things:

1. Most of the folks here are polite and respectful of each other's opinions.

2. To see where number 1 is not necessarily true, follow threads about Conservation Officers and/or Lake Nipissing.

3. My machine will not let me use the QUOTE button, nor can I make any "hot link" button work. (yet...)

4. When I enable html for a response, the spaces that I carefully insert for reading clarity disappear.

So far, so good, but I really do need to figure out some of these computer glitches.

Doug

Back to Fisherman, same story here.

Well, if Nipissing has huge flocks of cormorants, I reckon they are as bad or worse of a threat to the walleye as the commercial harvest. Until we get rid of this McWynnety LIEberal government, we will not have science-based cormorant control.

Maybe if the Nipissing First Nations decided they wanted to harvest the cormorants................
