NAW Posted August 8, 2012 Report Share Posted August 8, 2012 (edited) EDIT. I added some more photos further down in this thread. Check em out Is anyone else getting pumped for the upcoming hunting season. Goose opens Sept 4st. Bear Sept 4th. Deer Oct 1st. Baby due Sept 3. Duck Sept 8th. Just finished the controlled deer hunt application. Did the Doe tag application a few weeks back, still waiting to here the results. My hunting partner got a doe tag in a great area, and a bull moose tag. So far so good! Might do a little skeet shotting this weekend. My season is going to be scattered for sure with the baby coming right at the start of the season. But I still hope to get out a few times. Here's a few pics from the Bear bait. There's a few coming around during legal shooting time. No real tanks though. Scroll to my latest post to see some updated photos.

misfish Posted August 8, 2012 Report Share Posted August 8, 2012 Man,what a back yard you have. To be honest Nick,I havent felt the urge to get any tags this year. Im sure I,ll get a deer tag,as I,ll hunt the latter stages of the bow hunt. Good luck with everything, this up coming season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NAW Posted August 8, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 8, 2012 Man,what a back yard you have. The shots are from the "back yard" at the cottage. A few thousand acres of crown land chaulked full of furry critters. :thumbsup_anim: Fall is for fishing lol I really hope to get out fishing a few times this fall too. We'll see though. Not likely.

RangerGuy Posted August 10, 2012 Report Share Posted August 10, 2012 ABSOLUTELY!!.. Can't wait for duck season.. no missed Saturdays for this guy do to weather this year Last year I hunted out of a Momarsh & Stump Jumper Long Tail.. AWESOME RIG!!!.. on multiple occasions I had Heron's try to land on my bow while my dog and I were dozing off LOL! Ducks had no idea we were there. But.. it's a very limiting boat as far as where you can go safely due to it's low sides.. This year were in an 18' Alaskan & Avery Quick set blind.. CAN'T WAIT!!!

That Momarch / Stump jumper rig looks deadly. We hunted a permanent blind last year that hasn't been hunted from in about 15 years. We shot 60 ducks from it over the season between my partner and I. Lets see some pics of the Alaskan with the quick set blind! My goal this year is to find a cheap layout blind for field hunting. Or make one myself.

ch312 Posted August 11, 2012 Report Share Posted August 11, 2012 "Out comes the shotgun" One more month! Then the shotgun comes out.. Well, thats one way of getting some fish...shoot the buggers !!! whaaaa? last fall was the first for me that didn't include any hunting and i was pondering the idea of giving it up because of not having anywhere to hunt. thankfully, i came to my senses and can't wait to put some meat in the freezer this year. that is, if i can finally secure some land around here. what's the price range for waterfowl outfitters in the southwestern parts? i've always wanted to get into serious goose numbers and figure it's the best way to learn.

misfish Posted August 11, 2012 Report Share Posted August 11, 2012 (edited) NAW the deer results are available on the phone now, noone in my group got a doe tag this year. 5 of us. First time thats happened in a long long time. It,s becoming the norm,from what I have heard the last couple of years. Yotes are out numbering . They are out of control. Less deer. We drove this morning, is areas where we always seen deer. Not one.Not even a turkey. That reminds me, my daughter is getting married in a just over a month... Congrats.

NAW Posted August 12, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 12, 2012 (edited) If I don't get a letter in the mail soon, I'll call in and to find the results. Last year, it was a 75% chance to get a doe tag for bow season. Like Brian said, likely a little lower chance this year. I hope to smoke a few yotes this winter too... Also just found out that a friend is opening a butcher shop in Barrie. So I really hope to hammer some geese this fall, so I can get some summer sausage made up. :thumbsup_anim: Edited August 12, 2012 by N.A.W Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NAW Posted August 12, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 12, 2012 I was hoping you would post some pics to get me gear up Sinker! What is that, a triple limit of ducks? Here's one of a few double limits from the blind last year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jedimaster Posted August 12, 2012 Report Share Posted August 12, 2012 Would love to get out for duck, just too sure where to go. I tried once at luther marsh but it was so jammed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sinker Posted August 12, 2012 Report Share Posted August 12, 2012 That's a 2 day, 3 man limit. Spent 2 days on St. Clair last fall with a couple buddies. Timing was perfect! The Can's just arrived, and we welcomed them with steel S. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NAW Posted August 26, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 26, 2012 We've been going to the bait station every weekend. Nearly 1000 photos have been taken. This week was unique though. Our first "non-bear" visitors. A family of coons. A few fishers, or at least what I think are fishers. Maybe they are martin, or weasel?? Keep in mind that that is a 45 gallon drum. In the one pic there is a fisher on the ground, and another in the drum with his tail hanging out. We also had our first bear on bear encounter caught on camera. Very cool. The weekend after next we'll try our luck. Been shooting the bow every day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
