Did you guys even look at the picture? Ummm...that ain't Port Hope!

Yeah I looked at it, but it could have changed since I was last there 5 years ago.

Don't blame me for not knowing it had changed there Paddler Boy!!!!

That sign is only for Canadians. I think you will find most of those people are of Eastern European origin.

It does not apply to them. Even back in the 90's when I told one of them that Lake Trout were out of season he just ignored me and put it in his car. The OPP officer who arrived after my phone call took the fish but did not charge him.

It seems that recent immigrants to our country have no respect for our natural resources or the laws that protect them.

I'm by no means being racist but if I were to go to another country I would abide by their laws and we should expect immigrants to our country to obey ours. I'm sure some of those people in the photo are Canadians too but thier numbers are small in number when compared to the rest.

I remeber one day watching the CO marching a crowd of poachers from what was then the sanctuary south of Dundas back upstream. There was close to a dozen caught and I will tell you this, that not one of them was born in this country. As I said I don't care where you are from there are laws in place for a reason and using your ethnicity as an excuse not to abide by them is wrong.

Rant Over.

P.S. To the Admin Staff, if you think that this post is out of line please remove it. I am not trying to slight anyone I'm just trying to convey my feelings about poachers and what is becoming of our country.

I figgered I might get out more...cause I could get my porn so much faster...

NAH, you just get more!!!

Up here we do a little driving on the ice.

The territory maintains a network of ice roads for public travel, plus there are numerous privately maintained ice roads (ala Ice Road Truckers)

If the ice can support a fully loaded 18 wheeler (some haul dual trailers) I'm pretty sure my Honda Pilot is safe.

Currently our ice is between 42 and 48 inches thick.

Now when I lived in Ontario I never drove on the ice, too sketchy.

I was fishing the lake trout grounds on Simcoe one day (12 miles out) when there was a great rumbling and the hut jumped off the ice about a foot and water came shooting out of the hole!!!!!

As it turned out a huge pressure ridge formed back in the bay near the hut operator. On our return they had to stop the bombadier a couple of hundred yards from shore and we had to scale a 15 to 20 foot high ridge to get back to shore. It would have been cool to see the ice fracture and create the ridge as there was a ton of energy released when it happened.

hey drifter,

 

is the antler carving on the top shelf from a real antler or fake, looks cool,

Nah, it's an imitation. Got it at a Ducks Unlimited dinner in Mount Forrest.

I used to be on the commitee there.

Fabulous, Drifter_016. Nice moose horns, whatever you call em.

 

Is that some sort of camera remote control in your left hand? Wishin I had that feature.

Yes it's a remote trigger for my Olympus Stylus 300.

It comes in handy, sure beats running back to get in the shot before the self timer goes off.

FYI.

Animals that have antlers shed them yearly (elk, moose, deer, caribou) while animals that have horns don't shed (goats, antelope, sheep)

Don't forget to add 25% for the exchange on the dollar plus GST when you bring it across the border.

Nice shed!!!

I found a few when I lived in Ontario, but nothing that nice.

Sheds are a little harder to find up here, but I found this beauty several years ago.

Dude, don't do it!!!!

Stay with gial up!!!!

Since I got high speed I haven't left the house!!!!!!

All I do is download Porn all day!!!!

So please for your own sake don't do it!!!!!

officer GCD on the case!

I love armchair survivalists. "I can do it, I can do it" meanwhile they can't function without their Timmies or Starbucks. Now I know there are some of us here who have spent significant periods of time in the bush. All I'm trying to say is it's not as easy as one would think.

No problem, got a solar powered expresso machine.

The large game would be a luxury, you would have to survive mainly on smaller game... rabbits, raccoons, possums, armadillos, coyotes, wild dogs and cats,ducks, geese, small birds, chipmunks and rat's BBQed on a stick!

Not a whole lot of armadillos in the Arctic.

Lots of bunnies and birds though.

How many here actually spent a night in a tent in the winter?

Did it last month.

I don't even want to think what one of those Lakers would set me back.

Maybe a nice 360* table mount with a 50 incher chasing a school of grayling, what do ya think??

My 90" Atlantic Sailfish was about $2000 by the time I got it home.

HMMMMMMMMMMMMMM, let's see. I would have to survive on Moose, Caribou, Buffalo, Ptarmigan, Lake Trout, White Fish And Burbot. Be pretty tough but I could probably manage.

Would need to stock up on staples like sugar, flour, etc as well as gas for the boat, generator and sled, shells and some extra arrows and broadheads.

But I don't have to worry about any of that, my job is safe.

Thanks for the input guys.

Even you Roy.

Yes, at times google can be your friend, not this time though.

I spent quite a while looking around their site for pricing before posting my question.

Anyone have an idea what Advanced charges for Rainbow reproductions?

I'm seriously thinking of getting one done of this guy.

Thanks guys

This was my first attempt at putting a video together and I'm really happy with the result.

Well I finally got off my and put together a video of fottage and stills taken during my trip to Alaska in September.

Many of you will remember I had Solo join me during the last week of the month this footage is from then and earlier in the month.

So grab the popcorn and a drink and enjoy.

Shipping through USPS will take longer than UPS as UPS does their own customs clearance while the post office shipped items have to go through Canada Customs and then be passed onto Canada Post for delivery. This usually takes from 1 to 3 weeks.

AMC also made the Concord and the Hornet. Tanks. They were bullet proof

Don't forget their Muscle Car.....................The AMX.

ive been pulling out 25lb salmon on my stanton with 6 pound test and 4 pound leader for over 15 years old out of fast water. any day you wanna see come down to the banks of the beaver river and ill battle a 30'' any day through ice flow with 6lb test.

I'm sure the other 40 guys fishing the flats with you love waiting an hour for you to land that 25# chinny.

There's also a Denny's near by.

Maybe a nice Slam before class.

The flat tracks like Pocono, Loudon, Phoenix and Kansas I find pretty boring.

I love Bristol, Talladega, Texas, Dover, Darlington, Martinsville and Richmond are all fun races to watch.

Not a big fan of the road courses for Nascar though.

anything over 6 pound test and your crazy

Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight......... you wouldn't have a chance landing a decent sized fish in the water I fish.

My main pinning is done on a river that runs between 2500 and 8000 cfs depending on time of year.

Good luck landing a 30" bow there with your mighty 6# test main line.
