Well, dad went in to take a look today, and brought along the 30.06 with him. He was about 50ft away and had a shot when he was chased out of the bush by a big sow. Now, I dunno if my oldman is blind or not, but I have a feeling this is a sow and a calf, not a bull and a sow.. Anyhow, he calls me out of breath saying "Holy, I am really out of shape!" I am going over there tomorrow morning to take care of this with him, either one of us will distract the momma and we'll put the calf out of it's misery. I was ticked at the oldman and told him to go back into the woods, and finish off the job, but in the end it's a moose, my oldmans safety is worth more then that. BTW, can anyone tally up the fines for shooting a moose with a rifle and without a tag? lol Calling the CO was the only thing to do..

I wouldn't even touch the 400NB tonight. I got off at 9, made my way over to 5srd, then west on 13th, then up 8th line all the way to 25th, then back on to 27N.. Lots of snow coming down, whatever way you take be careful!

Dave, Marks Work Wear House would be another place you could try... I am going to pick up some stuff from them this weekend before my little trip to the Geen on monday.

Bernie, I guess it's one extreme or the other. The entire dash had to come out of the Jimmy All for 5 mins of work for the replacement..

I replaced a heater core in a buddies 96 Jimmy a few months ago.. What a horrible horrible job that was....

I use my baitcasters any chance I get, I feel like I have more control with them.. However if I am vertical fishing/jigging then the spinning rod gets the nod all the time. Also if I am pitching really light baits, like small tubes, I'll also use my spinning rods.. For baits such as topwater, it take so much less effort with a baitcaster then a spinning setup. All my stream fishing (brookies, bows, etc) in the summer is done with a UL 7ft spinning setup with 4lb test.

Johnny, my parents live in Coldwater That's where the action is! lol

Gerritt, I'll let you know bud

Woodbridge alignment on Hwy 7... I know it's not close, but if you work nearby it's the place to go.. Any Active Green & Ross can do an alignment also, I had mine done for $80 a few weeks ago. They have a nice alignment rack!

CO came by this morning and walked out to the cow with my oldman. They got about 10ft away from it before it got up and hobbled away. It's leg is broken right above the hoof. CO called head office to see if there was a rehabilitation center that they could bring the cow to, but he was told over the phone that the cow would end up as coyote meat. He let my dad know that if he took a walk out there again *hint* *hint* to bring along his rifle. My dad will be supplied the proper tag by the CO in order to not run into any legal issues. This cow is also on a 100 acre private farm and the owner has given my dad permission to do whatever he has to do. I really wish it could have gone to a rehab center, because moose aren't that plentiful around here. Ah well, anything is better then letting the coyotes at it...

Dave, I copied this from a post at GBO...

I have a HTC Touch, the phone is decent but for $100 you can buy a crappy P&S digital and carry it in your vest.

Welcome Trevor! You won't find a better group of guys/gals. Lets see some fish porn!

Thanks Wayne, you rock man I really appreciate it.

Speaking of gloves, I need some for steelheading also. I'd like something that is a bit thinner so I could actually keep my gloves on while I fish

There is a big bull moose and a cow across from my parents place. Cow looks to have a broken leg, it's gotten up 3-4 times and fell right back down.. The bull is circling it like crazy... My dad would love to go over there and put her out of her misery, but obviously he can't do that. Does anyone know if we can get a hold of a CO in a somewhat quick manor? Their hotline closed at 5:30 and neither myself or my dad wants to see that cow suffer anymore then she has to... If anyone can help, I'd really appreciate it.

I use finely twisted hair strands from virgin unicorns. Works pretty good.

Dave, how did you like your Simms? First time out in them right?

Sil, you going to wear those waders again?

Kemper, you might see 3

Not ice fishing related at all, but when fishing for steelies, I make a change every 10 drifts or so.. I got more then one hookup by doing this with the new bait on the first drift.

Happy B-Day lew, hopefully it's filled with muskie slime!

12lb Siglon V high vis.

The reviews don't look very promising.

Well, maybe it's a good thing I moved away from St.Catharines.. Gotta say that I never had any issues when fishing down there in my younger years (This was when you were actually allowed on the concrete extension in the middle of the river and all the way up to the damn)
