    9/11 Lest we forget

    The modern day CBC is an embarrassment. I apologize on behalf of rational Canadians for the current state of our national broadcaster. As an aside, CBC has seen its market share up here plummet over the last two decades thanks to a readily obvious progressive bias. Aside from the eventual...

    Mid to Late Season Midlayer

    Pullover/zip up doesn’t really matter for me. Neither does hood. Wind protection a bonus, but not necessary. Adequate warmth is more important than wind protection. I’m not looking for a soft shell with minimal fleece lining - definitely want warmth. I haven’t seen a Jetstream in person...

    Which weight of Ambient would you suggest?

    Mid to Late Season Midlayer

    Hello all. I have a specific use garment I need to purchase before my fall hunting seasons start up in October . Rather than AI guessing I'd rather tap into the collective knowledge here. There are a bewildering array of options that seem to be constantly evolving. I need a fleece midlayer...

    The MacKenzies - The Land that Time Forgot

    Another Canadian here. Randy's (@Big Fin) trip report is exceptional and highlights the vastness of the North that has to be seen to be appreciated. I've had the good fortune to have three extended adventures in the Yukon and NWT in the last decade or so. My wife is not a hunter, but loves...

    "Non-Corporate" YouTube hunting channels

    To circle back to my thread, here's a few channels I enjoy - perhaps others will too. Mostly Western Canada / Northeast US. https://www.youtube.com/@comeoutheavyhunting https://www.youtube.com/@backcountrybcandbeyond (a bit of commercial influence, but still good)...

    Turkeys

    Running late, but here’s a spring turkey report from north of the border in Ontario. My 15 year old nephew took his first game of any kind by dropping this mature longbeard on opening morning (April 25). He held his nerve as this longbeard strutted in to our decoy setup - even waiting for the...

    Snake stories

    Reading this thread makes me relieved I live in the cold northern climes of Ontario. I do not like snakes. Thankfully we only have garter snakes, water snakes, and the occasional milk snake. We do have Massassauga rattlers in a few small areas of the province - I’ve seen one. Thankfully I...

    Bowhunting whitetails from the ground

    I bowhunt exclusively from the ground. I hunt areas with very rugged terrain in a thick cover big woods environment. This usually means I can use terrain to set up in an elevated position from where I expect to see deer, giving me many of the advantages associated with a tree stand. Aside...

    Best Trail Cam Pictures

    These two black bears couldn't have posed better if I had positioned them myself. They were having a "friendly" scrap on a oak ridge where I had a trail cam overlooking a primary scrape. This is a remote area several kilometers from the nearest road access.

    "Non-Corporate" YouTube hunting channels

    Like many here, I enjoy watching YouTube hunting channels. However, in recent years I've become pretty disillusioned with the ones that are clearly "killing for content" to drive the algorithm, satisfy their corporate sponsor masters, and pay their bills. I was wondering if folks could list...

    Tales from the Ontario Big Woods - belated 2025 edition

    The winner. This is quite a distance from where I hunt (40 ish km), but deer body sizes are obviously similar.

    Tales from the Ontario Big Woods - belated 2025 edition

    This year's deer hunting season was fundamentally different for me in that it didn't really happen at all. Nonetheless, here is the report from big woods north of the border. This area is classic Canadian big woods. High rocky ridges topped with red oaks, extensive lowland cedar swamps and...

    Hunting, Technology, and a little Reflection

    Montana Fish and Wildlife might like to know? Brutal behaviour by these clowns.

    Hunting, Technology, and a little Reflection
