NAW

I loves me some spring perch!! Nice haul.

That's awesome

I couldn't agree more!! I've been working with dogs for a long time. And this training session topped them all! I didn't have any bacon... So I sliced up some leg meat and fried it up in seasoning. Let it dry a little bit, and tossed it in! It was made with what I had kicking around. Some peas and corn. Seasoning. Some canned soup. Brow Rice. The dogs trainer was on cloud 9 all morning. Likely one of his most memorable hunts in a long time. And he has been hunting for 40+ years. This guy's still a pup, so there was some shenanigans! 2 times we winged a bird, and they dropped about 150 yards out, and the dog basically caught them before they hit the ground and ran them back to us! It's $75 per hunter. That gets you either 3 Phesant, or 5 Chuckar Partridge. 3.5 hours of hunting. He charges extra to guide you with one of his dogs. It's actually not that bad. There was no fences.. The partridge we didn't shoot are still out there. The hunter in the afternoon may have blasted them. If not, they may make their way back to the pens, by the sounds of the other couped up birds. But I think most blend in to the ecosystem in some way. He has some pheasants that are running around that like to hang out in the area. They are very gun shy. And I think they are unable to re-produce.. Not sure though.. Yep. Great dog! Non shedding. My 8 year old step daughter refuses to eat anything I have not bought at a grocery store. But she told me that she thought this was the best meal I have ever cooked her. Ever...

I'm gunna do exactly that. I have both cream of mushroom and cream of celery soup in my cupboard. Do you cook it with the rice? Or do the rice separate then mix together at the end?

I forgot to add one of the best pictures!! Anyone know a good stew recipe?

So as some of you know. My hunting partner has been training a NAVHDA hunting dog. It's been a boring winter for the dog. We booked a private game farm yesterday morning, and hunted chukar partridge. The owner of the farm set 20 birds out for us across over a 100 acre farm. Then myself, the dog, and three other good friends set out to see how many birds the dog could find. We flushed 17 of the 20. Shot 13 of the 17 we flushed It was a great morning with some really good guys! Lots of laughs and cheering after some spectacular shots. The dog is 13 months. But pointed like a champ! And retrieved every single bird to hand!! Special thanks to ROB!! Those grouse wings you gave me where used heavily during the dogs winter training!! Here's some pics of the day! We are going to make it an annual event We all had the time of our lives!! The dog is bird crazy... He sat like this for the entire 2 hour drive!

Amazing! Been separated almost 2 years now and got a good chuckle out of that..! Except for the fact that my x-wife got our dog in the divorse....

I was going to call royal tomorrow and see if the can order me one. Unless you know where I can get one super cheap or free??My neighbour also suggested I get the manual, so we can get a 100% reading on what component is malfunctioning. I have never bought a manual like this before. I'm hoping to do some online research and maybe down load a free copy that I can print. I'm hoping it's not the stator. That looks like a pain in the ass and a few hundred bucks to change.

Glad you ended up on the topside! Jesus. Scary stuff when you think about it.

I was in the shop till midnight last night with a toothbrush and a rag! Man, it's in better shape then I thought! Look at the muffler!

Fire me a PM, I'll give you his contact Info. He has a significant inventory.

One can never have to many toys! Specially free ones. The same aunt also gave me the bravo many years ago, after it not running for nearly 20 years. It's a first pull everytime machine. The towing ratings are so low on these this by the book. I should be able to toe a light permanent fish hut eh? If I can get traction that is. I wish my track was that long!! No that's off a Indy 500 that he bought with a bad bottom end and is parting out.

The mechanical designer in me is gitty like a school girl.!

My grandpa bought this Yamaha Moto4 new in 86. Parked it at the cottage in muskoka and used it maybe one or twice s month to haul loads of wood and do some light road work. A few years ago we sold the family cottage. My aunt took the quad to her farm where it was used for hauling wood. Again. Only run a few times each summer My aunt recently called me and asked if I coukd take the quad and give it a tune up and list of thing wrong with it. Reason being, is it wouldnt start in the cold. And as of recent, wouldn't start at all! So I took it, stripped it down, and gave her a list of things wrong with it. Mostly minor things. And guess what she told me!! "do you want it?".. Yes I want it!!! So I am the very happy proud new owner of a 1986 Yamaha Moto4, YFM 225. Chris Brock and I have the same canoe and the same snowmobile. I'm half expecting that he also has a Moto4 and can chime in with some input. I think it needs a new stator. But changing it looks like it may take A little time and money. The machine has intermittent spark. No spark most of the time. Tried a new coil. Tried connecting and disconnecting every connector I can find. My neighbour is a small engine mechanic / snowmobile mechanic. So we are in the process of weeding it out But aside from a new (expensive) stator, I don't know what else to check. does anyone know of common issues on these old MOTO4's?? I'd love to get it running like a top. Then possibly get some chains for it and use it on the ice next winter, on those days when it's to warm or not enough snow for the bravo. Not to mention the hundreds of miles of trails in my backyard.! Man I'm excited. I'm going to shine this old girl up. There's not a spec of rust anywhere on it! well, maybe some specs... But it will shine up nice! Here's some pics. I know it's a small machine. And only 2 wheel drive. But they are little work horses. And fun to drive. It's basically a blaster race bike with racks.

I get what your saying. But I also got a little chuckle out of that. Myself being pretty heavy in to fitness.. Rob didn't seem to be very dialled in to his body.

I was thinking about heading out for Crappie one last time saturday morning. The lake / back bay that I fish had 12" of good ice 8 days ago. it hasn't been that warm around here to burn through that. There's gotta be 6" still there now...

What area are you launching from? I will be very close to the Severn river Saturday as well. I will keep an eye out for you. There's still lots of ice on the back bays in some area's up there Guy still running sleds and quads on the ice a week ago.

Looks like he lost the fight. Not sure what to say. Sure was an entertaining guy. Not going to be forgotten in our generation I don't think.

Let's see how many ppl call 911 in disgust this time!

Sad news indeed. He's got a face and attitude that you just can't forget eh

" I didn't realize asking a specific spot on a lake I'm new to was a kiss of death. " Not the kiss of death... But close. Specially to the people who may or may not fish that particular spot on a regular basis. But the real reason everyone is jumping on board with this little mini "Linching", is because you are speaking about particular GPS coordinates, on a specific lake is blatantly breaking the rules set out by OFC. The rules that you had to read before becoming a member on this community. You have to be a little slow in head, or maybe just incredibly ignorant to think it's a good idea to post exact GPS coordinates for a potential honey hole on a website open to whomever wants to read it.... in the world. My apologies for being blunt. But based on your last reply where you called us all "rude" and "unfriendly", you obviously don't fully grasp why the rules are in place in the first place. Your OP was wrong, and broke the rules laid out by OFC. Instead of calling us rude and unfriendly, maybe you should be apologizing for breaking the rules, and offending several long time members of this community.? I can tell you with 100% certainty, that you really pissed off several people with your actions thus far. And not because they are rude, or unfriendly.. But because you did something you shouldn't have.

Nice guiding Chad!!

I can't seem to post the link for some reason. But this is my rant... Last night, There was an amber alert for a boy that was seen being forced in to a vehicle presumably being kidnapped. Turns out he wasn't, he has just run away from home, and had just been found.. Or something like that. Either way, Ontario for the first time ever, used the amber alert to disrupt local TV programming, and had a red screen with all the pertinent info about the abduction. The system worked, because 911 received several calls about the abduction, and where able to locate the boy, safe and sound. Now for the part that ticked me of, and is causing me to vent on OFC.... 911 received many calls from TV viewers who where only calling to just to basically yell at the OPP and 911 for disrupting their TV programming!! What the hell??? 911 is for emergencies only, and I am pretty sure you can be charged for calling 911 if you don't have an emergency. I for one... I saw this amber alert, and the last thing I thought about was being angry that my TV show was disrupted for 30 seconds..... Who cares about a TV show, someone's child was just presumably kidnapped.. Rant over. Sorry, I know there's lots of NF content on here right now... But I just needed to vent.

If that particular GPS coordinate just happened to be some's hot spot. I highly doubt they would tell you any details about it on the world wide web...
