My hunting partner and I hit our blind early Saturday morning for the opening day in our area. Woke up at 4, in the boat by 4:30, at the blind by 5, flipped the canoe at 5:30. Blasting birds at 6:30, limited out by 8.

The first flock that came in was 5 strong. My hunting partner dropped 3, and I hit the other 2. Great start to the morning. Half way to the limit, and we've only fired 5 shots!

We ended the day with 8 woodies, 1 mallard, 2 teel, and 1 accidental mud hen (not picture worthy)

Hope nobody gets offended seeing some pictures of daffy all shot up..

The birds were FULL of pin feathers, so we ended up skinning most of them.

I'm sure one of the "neighbouring" OFNers would give you a hand for a burger or two.

Absolutely!!

Like Bob said. You likely would have had to toss some of the meat, depending on what part of the deer you hit. But you would still be able to get a pile of meat from her.

Glad to hear you didn't cause any damage to the truck.

I'm sure you enjoyed many stories about his past. Things you will never forget.

Sorry for your loss man.

Your an artist Randy. You Been takin lessons from Bushart?

Wow. Now that's a Pail-o-perch. Holly smokes..

I want to see how well if works after being run over. You can run lots of things over with a truck

There was one guy, with his boat sitting sideways in the launch, when I drove by at 7:50. Only guy in the water.

So you could have been there at 7:45, and been the only one on the water..

I was going to go on my first moose hunt this year, but we didn't get the tags we where looking for, so the hunt was cancelled.

Duck opens in my honey whole on Satruday.. Pumped about that Gunna lay a beatin on some birds..

Good luck on your hunt eh! Congrets on the bull tag.

Welcome to town, and to the OFC.

I don't fish for bass, but Simcoe has some brutes. Some good advice above. You shouldn't waste your time looking for walleye on Simcoe, they're rare on the lake, unless you know exactly when and where to look.

Nick is a good dude. I new that after meeting hime for 10 minutes. Welcome in my boat or ice shack any time.

I can say the same thing about you there Blair... Might take you up the ice shack offer again this winter

All I ever got from Nick was a leaky boat...

 

Great it all worked out and he got you on some fish !

and at the time the big one was caught all that could be heard across Lake Simcoe was ..... FISH ON ! ........... lol........lol . Any time my freinds

Ya, we where pretty happy to see that hog surface. Considering all the dinks we where catching previously.

It started to peal drag, I thought we had hooked into a smallie. To bad we didn't catch more like that

I must say, for two fishing rookies, they both got the hang of it very fast. Miracon just dove right in, baiting the hook, and taking fish off the the hook too. Like she's been doing it for years. I don't normally get to fish when I have rookies in the boat, but I sure did this time.

It's awesome to see people catch their first fish!

And Thanks Skipper-D, after I tried my first spot in 20' with nothing, I headed straight for the deep water like you suggested.

Stinks like melting plastic up here on the hill.

Ya, that what is smells like here at work.. That's why I was a little suspicious about the Minnesota forest fire thing.. I guess it's possible.

Sounds like a nice day on the water.!

Some decent hogs there.

I herd this was the culprit. But I find that hard to believe..

Smells like in Barrie..

Well, more the usual..

Great report Mike! Get em hooked young eh!

It was a pleasure fishing with you two!

A slow day as far as Simcoe perch goes. They havn't moved into the usual spots yet. Another few weeks, and it will start to pick up.

Thanks for letting me keep some of the fish YOU caught..! I think you lifted more fish then Rob and I combined Made a nice little snack for when I got home.

Those are some beauty mounts Sam!

My hunting partner and I both made a pact to hunt more waterfowl at the start of the season, and hold off until late October, maybe November before we start beating the bush.

Good luck all the hunters this year. Play safe!

As usual Joey.. Fantastic pictures!

I regret not buying one too... Man you're going way back probably 20 years .

 

they had a 3pc 22.. or a 3pc 410/22 over & under that would fit into the Butt(the gun's Butt)

Thanks for clarifying that Randy

Always did Nick. I remember when they sold used longarms.

 

How the pigeon shooting today? Sorry I missed it. Got back late this AM,Had to pick the truck up.Dought I could hold up the remington anyways.

Wow, I've never seen guns for sale at Crappy tire.

We're going skeet shooting tomorrow, after we build our opening day duck blind.
