I read that... that's why I posted. Was hoping others have experienced it... we need to figure all these logistical issue

Winter camping is actually becoming a very popular activity! Guys, you gotta expnad your horizons a bit.. fishing isn't the only activity out there! The yurts are heated portable shelters.. Winter camping is no less "crazy" than sitting of a hole in the ice.. in fact, you're moving around a lot more... snowshoeing, x-country skiing, etc.. the yurts are set at ambient temp... propane heated

Hey folks, Has anyone here winter camped in Algonquin (or anywhere else for that matter). I am hoping to take a large group (25-30) up there in late February. What's it like? Is it good value? You can't cook in the yurt so is there a cooking area or fire pit? Any info is greatly appreciated.. thanks

Coyote numbers were low a few years back (mange I think). Were rabbit populations in general higher then? Just curious...

GOD BLESS THE USA I can't stand all the America-bashing around the world these days...but it really pisses me off when it comes from Canadians! Anti-American bashing by Canadians is so moronic when you actually understand that this continent is more integrated than any other place on the planet... and there's nothing wrong with that... we are the beneficiaries...we're bashing ourselves when we bash Americans... He's to manifest destiny! All together now... While the storm clouds gather far across the sea, Let us swear allegiance to a land that's free, Let us all be grateful for a land so fair, As we raise our voices in a solemn prayer.

I thought jack rabbits were a more southern rabbit... ?? the poster talking about "up north" rabbits must be referring to cottontails or snowshoes..?

The gun is amazing. One of the other guys had a Rem. Sorry bud, I'll take mine any day... The Super Nova's are equipped with a recoil reducer apparently... I have the Nova and it otherwise felt great! The pump is extremely smooth compared to the other guns I shot yesterday and in the past. Nice weight to it and it feels so solid...

We ended up going to Cookstown... near the outlet plaza... Turns out a relative has permission to hunt/shot on privte property... MY SHOULDER IS SORE!!! Man those 3.5" shells hurt!!!! what a blast I had today!!! I love my Benelli

Gerritt, thank you.. very kind of you. PM sent...

I have several relatives that hunt. I have fired off guns before. Nevertheless, I am a total newbie and have not shot anything yet. I might consider the Scarboro gun club that someone suggested here... As I said earlier I just want to get a feel for the gun while it's being fired... Thanks guys... I appreciate all your input!!

what about the Ganaraska Forest? I believe there's hunting allowed there...

There's a lot of private land between here and Barrie.. public land is a premium around here..

I'd rather not join a shooting club - yet.. I just want to jump in my car and driv somehwere and shoot... w/o paying!

hahahhaha!! I live in a subdivision with 3000 homes!!! I wish.. few neighbours are getting on my nerves

This is exactly what I intend to do this weekned and beyond... I bought 4 different shells... I want to get a feel for everything... learn the patterns,etc... ok, so any public lands? I guess I High Park would be an exception!!

Ask Bass Pro staff a question? the only time I've received a satisfactory response to a question there was when I asked for directions to the bathroom...

Ya!! Camo Advantage Max 4

And I'm very excited about trying it out... So, my question is, where can I go to just simple fire it? I bought a bunch of different shells and I'd like to get a feel for the gun.. A relative hunts out near Port Hope and we've fired off shells there for fun in the past but I was hoping to try somewhere closer to my neck of the woods... I am near Bass Pro (Vaughan). I'd like to stay within a 100km radius if I'm just going to shoot off some rounds... How about the Simcoe Forest? York Region Forest? Any crown land or public lands in general that allow discharge of firearms. I checked the regs but its hard to find any specific spot. The WMU's are just big zones... doesn't tell you where to shoot specifically. Thanks very much! SF

Very well stop aggravating Leaf fans Habs and Sens scuk too and aren't going anywhere...

pic looks great... except for the ball cap

hey folks, I recently bought a pair of Irish Setter Gore Tex hunting boots. Great boot - comfy and warm.. Just curious; I have some mink oil kicking around. Would you use this to occasionally treat the leather of the boot or will this prevent the breathability of the product? What else would you use on your boot? What about sprays? I have a non-silicone spray from BPS. I think the oil is effective if the boot has been through a lot and they begin to dry out a bit...\ the website doesn't really say much.. thanks!

you're a barbarian! beast! champ! I always wondered what beaver tasted like, err, I mean the rodent...

I am sorry to hear that... hang in there... this recession is far from over, contrary to wht a lot of people think...the past few months were just a blip I wish you luck

33" is the record out of Simcoe???? dude, take a look at the pic of the Simcoe ling by one of our members... its more like 43"... maybe 45"

I think you mean woodstock... i live in woodbridge... that didn't happen here
