Sold a gun to a friend recently and followed the new rule (new to me ?) that you must call the CFO (1-800-731-4000) and validate your PAL and his PAL in order to get a Transfer Validation number. No problem but considering I called on a Friday afternoon 1545hrs to be exact and got through to a...

Just got the MNR email today that Spring Turkey Tags are available either online or at an issuing office. I always go to Stillwells in Fairground to get my tags and pick up a hard copy of the hunting reg's, which of course are online also.

After reading about the "boat launches" I went looking for water level predictions for this year at all the usual sites ( NOAA, Army Corps. Engineers, Environment Canada, Oceans & Fisheries, etc., etc.,) and best I can figure is we will be a bit lower ( 2 to 3 inches or possibly 6 inches) than...

Finally spotted a good size flock of Turkeys in my neighbours field approx. 15-20 birds. They were moving so it was hard to be accurate. Hadn't seen any large winter flocks just smaller (1/2 dozen or less ?) in all my travels. Two months to go but who's counting ? LoL !

Well, it's Sunday January 14th 2024 the deadline date to file your report(s). Remember, if you don't file the MNR will put your name on the Naughty List. Don't forget to write down your confirmation number...just in case ?

Took a peek at the Windfinder app and seen some nasty weather coming on the 9th (60 gusting to 100 km/h) but on the 13th,14th and 15th things look very, very nasty ! It starts with high 70's gusting to 120 km/h then a constant high wind for 14th and 15th. This info I got from my laptop but on my...

If you haven't filed your Report yet best "git er done" or suffer the penalties. I think the first is a 25 buck surcharge on your next Tag and the second time you don't file you are not allowed to buy a Tag... ouch ! Also write down the confirmation number.

Just a reminder that the season for geese ends tomorrow ( Wednesday, December 27th.,2023 ) and the duck season carries on until January 7th, 2024.

The December Controlled Deer Hunt starts this morning (Monday) and runs through until Sunday at end of day. If you are planning a walk in the woods I would advise wearing very bright colours , like blaze orange ! It's all the rage this week !

My eye doctor calls me up to book another check up ( optic pressure & field vision test ) and tells me OHIP isn't going to cover the field vision test next year and it will cost me 45 bucks... ? Makes me wonder what else they are cutting ?

The gods smiled on us this year and we filled 4 out of 6 Tags ! Everyone had fun, nobody got hurt and every night we feasted like kings !

Weather will start a little wild but mellow throughout the week by the looks of it. Lots of sign of deer on my properties but the corn is still up in one field.

They got done yesterday sometime but slow down when in area as there is a rough gravel section to cross over.

Looks like they got around to replacing the culvert at The Hahn Unit on Lakeshore Rd. but as of 1745hrs today they only had two of the three culverts that make up the entire thing in place. They are big too ! 6 foot diameter by 20 feet long. Due to a mountain of dirt access to the driveway...

Reports of some early Redheads being had at the head of the Bay and a couple of small rafts seen. A bit early as far as I remember but between Mother Nature and climate change who knows what the future may hold ? Use to be the Reds and Blues showed up last week of October with the Cans in hot...

OK, I know the rule of thumb with weather reports is believe nothing after 3 days but looking around at different sites they show temperatures are to be in the mid to high 20c's after our little cool down this week... ? Could make for some interesting fishing/hunting opportunities ? I did see...

As of 1700hrs. Tuesday there was only one trailer parked at The Hahn. The Unit had the first 6 spots with vehicles in them and approx. 25 camper trailers parked. The CWS is a little slow this year in putting up their signs but supposedly Big Creek is done and they will be working on the...

As a "heads up" to fellow boaters and fishermen and bird watchers this Saturday September 23rd the Waterfowl Season begins again and caution should be used in or near the marshes of Long Point Bay. The Long Point Waterfowl Mgmt. Unit aka The Park/Unit operates on Saturdays, Mondays, Wednesdays...

I've heard reports of large flocks of Blue Wings being seen in the Unit and I'm hoping our temperatures stay warm enough for them to be here on the Opener but that's wishful thinking. I remember the late Prof. Dave Ankney telling me that if the night time temps drop below 15c the little birds...

Seen the sign outside the community center announcing a DU Dinner Sept. 15th but DU Canada events listing only shows the Long Point Ladies DU Banquet and Auction on October 20 and it is SOLD OUT. Maybe someone can add to this ? Also the LPWA Dinner is on September 9th ? Not sure if they are...
