Not sure about him causing trouble for the farmer though N.A.W. as this guy was laying back and soaking up the rays as if he owned the joint and didn't have a care in the world.

 

They are no problem when they're sun bathing!

But they have big appetites! Farmers have been pushing for a hunting season/management plan for a while now. Lots of crop damage.

thanks for the pic Lew!

I've heard they have causing the farmers quite the head ache.

MNR is going to, if they have not already, open a draw for tags to hunt them.

^^^^ BFW beat be to it!^^^

Where are you located?

Its that time of year already eh!

Hahahaha!

I thought the head shot might be a little much for some people!

You can get then pretty cheap at BPS..

I was in one for almost 5 hours on the weekend. Crappy, windy, cold, raining at times. I was in my T-shirt!!

A great tool for field hunting.

YUM!

A meal fit for the fine china Roy!!!

Great job Rob!

Getting to see a deer like that doesn't happen every day. A nice little treat for sure!

YES!

YES!

Yes, they are.

Not the best eating mushroom but,good to make soup. Fry first

Look for Blewits soon they are best.

I'll have to look those up.

I see people walking all over the bush with buckets. Not sure what they are harvesting?

Yup they sure look like them. Nice specimens too. A lot of my field mushrooms get eaten by bugs before I can even get to them

We have eaten them almost every thanksgiving for the last 10 years or so. Up at the cottage. But they where half the size of these. Just growing in my lawn.

Here is a site i use sometimes hope it is helpful.

Thanks for the link!

I just finished a nice evenning snack!

Fresh as fresh can be.. Shot a few hours ago. Goose breast and Shaggy Manes pan fried in butter, garlic and whisky smoke seasoning!!!! I took my favourite strip of meat from the goose. The shaggy manes added a really nice flavour.

Two beasts are in the slow cooker right now. Gunna be turned in to BBQ pulled goose... and chowed down as sloppy joes tomorrow for dinner!

One goose will be sliced up thin and turned in to jerky

And the other I am still deciding what to do. I'm thinking of trying somethig new to me.. Grind it up, mix with ground pork, and make goose burgers.

First harvest of the season, so I always like to try something new!

I've eaten Shagy Manes before. But they where picked by someone who knew exactly what they where doing.

These are growing in my yard.

90% sure they are Shaggy Manes. Can anyone confirm?

Congrats Dave!!! Can't wait to see the reports of the build!

just out of curiosity, when you guys have something with "maple syrup" do you guys use the good stuff or the disgusting fake stuff?

Only the real stuff for this guy!!

I used to eat the Walmart stuff, but now I support the local sugar bushes.

A coffee gets chugged immediately upon waking up. But I have to wait at least an hour before I eat something. By that time I'm at work, so it's usually just a cereal bar and a rice crispy square, or a muffin.

On the weekends, I love pancakes with local maple syrup. I stock up each spring at the Elmvale maple syrup festival.

The odd time I'll go all out. Eggs, bacon, toast, pancakes, hash browns and fruit... But that's usually only the day after a big party, in attempt to get the hung over people out of my house!

This really chapped my ..

They bring the guy in to save the company. He fails.... And he is still going to make almost 60 million when they sell the company..

WFT?

I still have a coon tail in my freezer for ya Chris!

Sorry to hear that Sinker. That guys got some serious go-nads pulling a move like that...

Chris, if you want duck or goose feathers, let me know, and let me know what specie of duck too....I get a mix of everything. How'd the turkey feathers work out for you?

 

S.

Have you ever shot a widgeon before Sink?? In this area...

grouse from last night, 130 yds

That sounds like fun!!!

I'd love to take you out. But I have been finding it really hard to get out these days. Just to dam busy!

How far are you willing to drive?

Kind of reminds me of that bozo here in Canada that prorogues parliament every time the heat is on him.

That's what I was thinking.

But could you imagine if government employees all got sent home with no pay during prorogation? That would ruffle a few feathers.

Wow.

You should be extremely proud of your work. Those are some of the best fishing shots I've ever seen.
