A couple years ago, some college students witnessed a cougar attack a deer at Canadore! I sure hope it doesn't get shot, I'd trade 100 dogs and my cat for 1 wild cougar... That sounds insensitive doesn't it?

water water everywhere. 14 day forecast has a low of around -11. Not looking good, but don't count it out.

Some Christmas stuff. This guy is a gem.

Great report! I would do a cartwheel if I caught a walleye that size up here!!

Great scenery and fish shots Tyler! Some of the early hens had huge shoulders. I always enjoy spending time on that stretch of north shore heaven... wish I could spend more!

The reporter says ..."I don't think anyone in the media had heard of it before"..... The CBC has been mentioning Attawapiskat and reporting from that area for years. He brought up some interesting issues, but reporters like this seem to be more interested in the "big headline story" than anything else. He had no previous interest or knowledge on this subject and basically speed read through summary's and other peoples reports to understand it and re-summed it up in 10 minutes with an angry tone of voice ... I suspect he is not painting the entire picture, in fact I'm sure he's not painting the entire picture. Like Mr. Bunk suggested, very few people know the full story, including I; hopefully the reporting has been mostly accurate since this story broke.... all Canadians need to learn about this because we are all involved in it somehow.

those seats look more comfy than the ones in my Mazda truck

Haha strike a match and light the fuse. You know what is really easy? Getting bass guys going. OhFN.

Great reading as well as the fish. Take advantage of the soft weathered days while they are here! Cheers

4-6 lbs fish are your "smaller" ones?? Sweet jebus!

Fantastic! I was hoping to catch some shallow water Whitfish in the local river but the run is very thin right now. I've been bottom bouncing waxies and small chubs but I'm only catching walleye. Looks like a great time, you've had a unique experience especially with your pin. Very cool!

they load $45 000 of parent company losses on our heads at the beginning of each fiscal year and expect us to make it up, plus profit ...then they give us a $50 christmas meal limit, including spouses, no bonuses. Nice eh? On the plus side they pay us well and my work atmosphere is similar to being self employed. No complaints here. Some employers are indeed cheap and cruel.

He's one clever pup, you can't argue that!

Having sex isn't required to own an ATV... 300 cc is a bit weak if you are doing any serious mudding or hills or plowing etc... but other than that this sounds like a good machine to start with and for accessing back trails. Fan-cooled means less weight and generally less maintenance. If it's a good price I say buy it, you'll have access to many lakes you previously didn't.

I drove by a small pond with a good 1 inch of slushy and fractured ice.... we're almost there Getting your limit on your first attempt is amazing! Great start to the season.

Awesome show-and-tell. Your camera is heavy with fish shots! Thanks for posting.

I use the Mobile site while I'm out of town all the time. ... I just tell people i'm reading/sending emails.

must have come from deeper water... Your on a roll Mike!

Looks great! I'd like to sit down and enjoy all three with you some day. Cheers. PS I'll have a Mooshead, thank you

Fair enough, but the problem at hand is the housing. One brick at a time, figuratively.

Living in non-traditional-type houses, the people living in Attawapiskat and other similar places should be trained properly and provided with the proper equipment for building and maintaining these types of homes. Small wood mills, shops, tools and training opportunities. Even a modest house in that area can cost $1 000 000.00 to build because the materals and labour are shipped in from the south. These massive Gov. provisions end up being a huge money pit which ends up being a huge burden for the residents when they require support. This is difficult and nearly impossible to sustain... The Gov and religions are to blame for countless faults when it comes to our Natives and the locals are also to blame for not being very creative and pro-active when it comes to helping themselves. I honestly feel bad for both sides and I believe that Canada is in for some huge changes in regards to the Canadian-Native Nation. Everyone is SO sensitive about this issue that it's like walking on egg shells....but nobody wants to walk at all. Both sides need to be a little less sensitive and use more logic to get out of this one.
