That's neat Marcus. Something we don't hear about, or see often. Great pics. Keep us informed about your year as it progresses.

Can a blanket actually be made out of a beaver pelt? What would have to be done to one of your dried hides to make it pliable?

Kudos.

Good idea Tim. Gives one thread for guys to post to. (No offense Birdee) As for the rut, it's actually the amount of daylight hours that determines rut activity and hormone levels. Not that cold weather won't get them moving more, but the peak of the rut itself is always withing a 3 or 4 day window...

Regarding the ATT changes. Does that apply specifically to handguns?

Hi. The hunting course you took in NS should be transferable to Ontario. Check the MNR website and here's a link to local instructors if you want/need more.

The turkey course is now available online through the OFAH.

Good luck.

Nothing better than sharing a life long fishing passion with your kids. Good job to you both.

Hey RJ. Don't believe everything you see on "reality" TV. That fish on Wicked Tuna may be worth $20,000 to some middleman in Japan, but not them. As a matter of fact, as the season progresses the quality increases as they put on fat. I heard that a fish over 1,175 pounds was landed at Nort...

Hey Tomcat. The fish went for $6.45 at the wharf based on the headless-gutless weight of 585 pounds, or $3,770. Hey zippy fx. Good question. The other two days I went out we caught nothing. Nada. Fished for 12 hours each and it was still fun. Here's the deal. MOST private tuna charters your rent the...

Hi Fish-hawkers. The wife and I have been on PEI since June. Other than oysters, clams, mussels, potatoes and blueberries, this place has a lot of fishing to take advantage of. Of course, May and June is lobster season, when they are as sweet and flavourful when from the cold water, so we eat as man...

You know I woulda been there for ya Jim, but I'm off the continent for the summer.

Keep me in mind for the fall walleye.

Ah. the old walleye/pickerel debate. Around here, they mean the same thing. It seems that somewhere around the 1930s there was an international committee that decided the common name for Stizostedium vitrium is walleye. Not too popular a decision in Canada since we've been calling them pickerel for ...

Call me crazy, but I'm not. Most of my reels are old Mitchell 330 spinning reels from the '60s and 70s. I buy them on e-bay for less than $40 and they don't make reels like that anymore let me tell ya. They cast like a dream. The last Shimano reel I bought cost 4 times as much and didn't stand up ve...

Nice fishing Eric.

Were they caught during the winter, spring or summer?

BOWFIN. The ones with the big eye-spot on the tail. Hand caught and released a 4 inch one when I picked up a piece of sunken wood in shallow water. Constance Bay on the Ottawa River. Reported it to the Museum of Nature at the time. I think it was Dr. McAllister. He said I'd need a specimen to prove ...

Hey Zippyfx. One of my pet peeves is that confusion. Quebec Red Trout are landlocked arctic char. They are one and the same fish. Salvelinus alpinus subspecies oquassa. They occur widely north of Montreal and east and in a couple of lakes in the north eastern USA where they are called blueback and S...

I think they're really a nice fish to see and catch. RJ. I was flatlining a 'blacknosed dace' fly' 24" behind a 3" flasher. Both fish were holding close to shore. I only take a few every year even though the combined limit for brook trout and arctic char is 10. That being because they are ...
