It's not always fun to side with buddy boy because of the herpes thing, and I'll stand to be corrected if I'm wrong, but I think that the opposition to a swan hunt is almost completely social (having little to do with biology).

LOL... You really do beg the question: If you admit that you had 5 signs out and only 3 boats show up, why are you so angry that someone used one of "your" EXTRA spots? You'd think that an "ethical hunter" might say something like "hey, we had a couple of boats that had to back out, I'm glad...

Perfect. You're sustaining members; if you need the organized feeling go to the organized Unit - you won't even need to slap down your $17.

I'll support lp80's post. If anything, thinking you can put up a sign to reserve a spot is a "me now" thing. Just because I don't pound a stake into a marsh, doesn't mean I haven't scouted the area. I never have any intention of ever pounding a stake anywhere, but I've scouted and hunted the...

This whole sign thing is pretty specific to Long Point and maybe a few other big wetland complexes. I know about it, but I can see how others have probably never heard of this quaint little custom. If I showed up to hunt the opener nice and early from out of the area, how would I know what the...

Is the Heritage hunt replacing the regular youth hunt or are is the Association having both?

LOL... No. And you'd have to bring a few truck loads to attempt to compete with Lee Brown, anyway...

When I look at the property information for Hastings Drive, I would estimate that between 1/3 and 1/2 half of the area on the lake side of the road is owned by Norfolk County. As well, I have noticed in the past that people often take it upon themselves to add structures or signs to County...

I agree with you Single Malt, and you are one of the best on the Board in my opinion. I am always willing to work with the LPWA because I think it is a great option in conjunction with the other opportunities at the Bay. Lately, the LPWA has been changing more positively, with a few hiccups...

Good points, Single Malt (but of course anyone only needs a few well-connected friends to change things up, even within provincially-owned lands ;) ). I understand that the LPWA only makes recommendations to the province; I also understand that there are likely "strata" of the OBC, with some...

It could be convincingly argued that the entire LPWA is an OBC. It requires dues and membership. If you are not part of this club, you don't get a say on the management of a public resource. If someone doesn't like the flavour of the LPWA, they don't become members, and they don't get a vote...

There were some spots that you might be able to put out a couple decoys and there were a few moulting woodies in it. I think that right now even the draft of a canoe would be too deep in a lot of spots, and a jon boat would be too wide for just about everywhere. I've learned that huntable...

I kayaked it a few weeks ago; I don't think you can run a canoe through there. In a lot of places I was just pulling myself in the kayak over the weeds.

Try tossing the phone in a container with rice for a while and see what happens. The rice has a cool way of sucking all the water out and making broken things functional again! (anyway, it might be worth a shot!)
