Great job TJ Looking good on that video eh the snow shoes I mean

Like others said age is a big factor in the taste of the meat.... the older it gets, the stronger taste it'll be and that goes for either a buck or doe. As for tenderness, the meat must be hung to rest for a while before butchering... we always let our harvested animals hang for a good week if the tempature permits. Another factor also is the way the meat is cut.... I'm no expert in that area but the meat needs to be cut the right way otherwise it'll be tough. Leechman

Great report richyb and good looking doe Must of got your heart pumping when you could see them but could not take a shot Greatest feeling a hunter can experience Great job and congratulations Leechman

For me, nothing big but plenty of them... and the ones that stands out are the following: Hard water - 18" Walleye Pike - No measurements on that one 13" Crappie 17" SMB Softwater - 5Lbs Channel Cat 4Lbs+ LMB 27" Pike Leechman

Paul, those are jumbo perch too bad they have parasites on them. Look at yours, the tail holds a couple of yellowish ones That pair would be good table fare for thanksgiving Great shot Will talk later about this upcoming weekend.... The ice should be thicker now that the snow melted and the temps dipped below zero to freeze it over again

At -30C I don't go out unless I have some sort of shelter.... usually will go to an outfitter for that cause I don't own one. We always go out in the open and the only luxury we have is an ice bucket to sit on

Hey Simon, that sounds like a good idea but for me it's a long drive to go up there. Just did a quick search in Google maps and Dryden is 1799Km's from Gatineau and would take roughly 22 hours to drive out I don't think I'll be joining this year Jacques

Nice surprise for sure Got to hate that when it happens Good job JMahon and thanks for sharing Leechman

The things we do for the love of the sport Kudos Cudz for going out and trying Man that looks real cold out there Over here, no more open water and the mild temps yesterday melted the thick layer of snow from the top of the good ice we had..... now today, temps dipped @ -11C and froze everything over making the ice thicker Sorry to hear about the broken rod tip... guess you'll be looking to buy another Thanks for sharing Leechman

Great report and pics Mike Real nice looking steelies Congratulations Thanks for sharing Leechman

Sometimes you just can't pick and choose and go with your gut feeling..... this late in the season, deer are migrating to their winter grounds and makes for a more challenging hunt Good luck to ya this Saturday, will be keeping an eye out for your report

Great report and pics BassAsin I know what you mean about the rain but at least you got out and caught a good feed of perch WTG Thanks for sharing Leechman

Great report and pics superdad I can only see a couple of pics also From the ones I can see, looks like some big walters you guys caught Congratulations Wouldn't mind seeing to other pics if and when you get to fix them for us Again great job you guys Oh forgot to mention that at the beginning of your report you say "Sunday, Dec 13th" I think you meant Dec 14th Leechman

Well then.... hurry up and get that tag filled Thanks waterwolf How's the season going so far? any deer activity around your hunting area? Have you seen any good ones? Jacques

Thanks SNAG Didn't know that but I like it

Ben, I was able to yesterday, but now only see red X's. Maybe the site where you uploaded the pics is down or something Leechman

COOL Will be keeping an eye out for toi....eh I mean your reports

WOW Simon -28C daytime..... man that's cold enough to stay put inside and wait it out Here in Gatineau was -28C overnight a couple of days ago and now going up tp +9C tomorrow.... freezing rain and rain You got yourself a nice sled..... I call this the cadillac of shelters, WTG I'm sure that it will serve it's purpose and that you'll be real comfy in it Looks real well constructed and better yet folds and unfolds easily Now go out and get those whities that you talked about Will be keeping an eye out for your report Jacques

Thanks OhioFisherman for sharing 39 measurable points..... man what a huge rack Each year when we go to deer camp, there's a couple of songs that plays on one of the local radio station that we just look forward to hearing them. The first is called "30 point buck" and the other "Second Week of Deer Camp"..... Did a little search on the web and to my surprise found a version with video of both. Have a look at them, lyrics, real funny 30 Point Buck: Second week of Deer Camp Leechman

Rick thanks for the update and get lot's of rest to get back to your feet Leechman

Thanks for the report pike slayer Like others said.... 3 walters is better then 2 perch and a snot rocket in my book.... was out yesterday and man does it feel good to be on ice and fishing Keep them reports coming in Leechman

6 hours I say that is a long time to be driving in those arsh conditions... I bet you can't wait to see her arrive.... wishing her a safe drive back home Thanks for the info Wayne

Wayne, how long of a drive is it from Ottawa to Penetang?? 2.5' feet You guys sure got more snow then we do..... I hope too that it warms up for ya

Great report and pics Roger Real nice looking ski Congratulations Congratulations to walleyemen for his only fish and PB Thanks for sharing Leechman

Here in Gatineau, had another 10cm's of snow overnight..... Just got back from blowing that snow and now it's freezing rain coming down It's -4C right now but their calling for a low of +3C overnight and +9C tomorrow
