NAW

Untill the neighbours came and screwed it up eh....

NICE! Congrets on a successful hunt Luc!

Dang.. Can't wait to have the same action with Simcoe whities..

I'm talking next Friday. Plan on getting some bass fishing lessons from Kevin.

Nice cool morning on the water. I can't wait till Friday!

C&R.. The "new" thing is CPR.. Knowbody believes you unless there is Pics to prove it!!

^^x2. Thanks for that Randy! I wish I could get that on a CD or something to play to my future children 10 years in the future..

I'm sure no matter how crappy your mom feels, she's happy to be home, and to have you around for a few days to keep her company. Good on ya. Best Wishes for a speedy complete recovery. My grandmother is 82, and has survived two rounds of cancer both over 20 years ago.

Very nice buck! And those are a wicked pair of sunglassed too! Screw the sent killer, where can I a pair of those shades!

Keep us posted Dave. My thoughts are with you and your family.

Runs like a top. A loud top. Neptune 1.5hp.

Here's a few pics of mine. Lots of storage above. Lots of storage below. Motor mount on side for outboard motors. Peg board back. Fasteners shelves. 8' long, 28" deep and about 42" tall. I'm in the process of moving to a new house, to this bench is pretty much empty now. I'm glad you started this thread. One of the first things I'm going to do at the new house in put in a new work bench.

When tying a double uni knot, I use 5 turns on the braid, and 6 on the mono. 11 is my lucky number.

Ya.. What they said. Also think of these things: 1. You will want a good solid place to mount a vice. Make sure you consider this in your initial design. I used thru bolts with nut and washer to fasten my vice. Make sure you have the clearance to mount it correctly. 2. You may want to be able to fit a tool box underneath for storage. Make sure you consider the clearance for this in your design. 3. Make sure that you have adequate clearance in your shelves underneath to store your stuff. (eg, a drill in a hard plastic case). 4. Tie it into the wall, and floor, and make sure she's solid. 5. Before you start building, make sure you have a good spot for mounting a light above the bench that doesn't take up your work space. I re-wired my bench light to have it's own switch. 6. I have a drill press mounted on my bench, it was an afterthought, but luckily, it cleared my shelves above by under an inch. Another clearance thing to consider. 7. Pick a nice height for you to work at while standing, so you're not leaning over, or standing on your tippy toes. Just a few things to think about. Sketch out a few designs before you buy any material.

That's a memory for a lifetime eh. Thanks for sharing.

I would discourage a blad eagle to nest in my back yard, but we all know that's a bad example, as it would be a 1 in a million chance of that happening in my area (I get your humor though). And coyotes are open season for me to shoot, unlike Fisher, which are illigal for me to shoot.

I just got my call returned by the MNR. We discussed a few options. Option #1 - Have a trapper come in and make some money from the pelt (around $80). Option #2 - Live Trap. Which will not likely work, as there is a law stating that you can not move an animal more the 1km in a live trap. He explained the reasons for this, I can elaborate if anyone wants to know why. Option #3 - Leave the fisher as is, and just don't let my dog out un-attended in low light times of the day. Which for us Canadians is all the time in the winter.. He went on to say that Fishers are incredible little mammals, and that they are not aggressive toward humans unless cornered. He believes that all of the negative thoughts about them is based on fear, and that they're not as bad and people make them out to be. He thinks the fisher was not charging me, rather then just running around in the woods, and didn't notice me because of my camo. (I don't believe that though, I was up and moving around) He did confirm my concerns about my small dog, and the a low potential for an attack. I have a friend who is a trapper (new to the business), but he doesn't have a quota for Fishers. The MNR guy did say that if I get my trapper buddy in contact with him, that he would give him a licence to possess and sell 1 Fisher pelt. This would allow him to come help me trap the Fisher. Thanks to everyone for the replies to this thread. I appreciate all for your input. I think I will let this one play out. If I move in, and never see the Fisher near my dog, or causing damage to my property, I will let it be. But if it starts to get aggressive toward my dog, then I might take some further steps to remove it from the property.

Tell you're wife Happy B-Day for me Brian!

The one I saw from nose to tail was about 3.5 feet long. Where's Luc G when you need him! I'm sure he would know exactly how to tell the difference for you guys. I'm 99% sure what I saw was a fisher. I'm going in the bush tomorrow morning, I'll try to grab a picture.

NICE. Good job on the buck. I might have to try some of this Nokout stuff.

Haha. Nope. Good find though. I'm thinking, if it becomes a problem, I will take Randy's advice. Live trap, and re-locate to my bosses back yard..

I can't afford a divorce right now either..

Thanks! I reached down to clip on my release, and the when I looked up it was 20 yards closer. That made me start to think a little faster! I've been an outdoorsman my entire life in this area of Ontario, and have never seen a fisher. I'm sure that we can co-inside with this fisher with out any problems. My yard is fenced in, so my dog wont be able to wander far. Don't get me wrong guys. I moved to the country fully expecting to see all sorts of wildlife. That's actually one of the reasons I moved to the country (or a tleast a change in the "Wildlife" I'm used to seeing in Barrie). I don't want you guys to think I'm some little nancy boy who's afraid to go in the woods because of the big bad fisher.... Just looking for some advice, or past experience you've had. The last thing I need after spending all of my savings on a new house, it a $2000 vet bill..

Warm boots, and if you walking a lot, ice picks that attached to your boots. And don't forget your safey gear. Compass, Ice Picks, Rope, etc. I suggest a cheap floater suit to everyone, but I know most people don't wear them. I almost always do wear mine.

I put a call into the MNR, and am waiting for them to call back. I want to know if this animal comes on my property, if I am allowed to shoot it. Or do I have to wait for it to do something crazy, like attack my dog..
