Very weird year. I was able to connect on two in Ontario and two in West Virginia so good season, but the birds were just not cooperative at all for me. Even soft calling would send them the other way on many days. I still have my cellular game cameras out and just this morning I have a "hen assuming the position" and inviting breeding for a group of 3 long beards strutting out front of her. Id have thought wed be seeing poults here shortly and here's an unbred hen? Population seems OK in the areas I hunted, around Lake Erie and closer to Hamilton, about the same as last year. Further north at my deer camp near Sebright they are just gone, vanished, no trace. Coyotes and raccoon population up there exploded a few years ago (When you see 14 coyotes opening day of deer, before noon, you have an explosion, and we cant shoot them in my unit due to some BS about the Algonquin red wolf which is rubbish)
Onwards to Quebec for Bear and pike and hopefully by then the walleyes are showing around Nanticoke.
