two weeks....must be nice. Im heading to 59 on wednesday morning, hopefully there will be a few left when I get there.
The Ontario Deer hunt {gun} begins Monday Nov3
- Thread starter John Y Cannuck
- Start date
Our camp has a deck over looking an apple orchard, would it be prudent to drink beer at that watch when it's raining

lol My house is the same... Saturday is prep day... Get the quad together and on the trailer in the garage...get any last min food together and start packing the jeep... My favorite time of the year!
Where's your camp around Bancroft??
Good luck to all. Heading out to WMU 80 for a week. Weather sure looks crappy for deer hunting, 7 C lows and 15 C highs right thru to Thursday and 25 km/h south winds. Oh well atleast we won't be cold on stand. I guess we'll have to make freezer arrangements also because those temps won't allow for an outdoor meatpole.

Weather looks WARM this week... Not the best for making the deer move... We will give it our best !
Three more sleeps
I have been hauling a$$ all week after work to make sure the tree stands are still in good shape and put up a few extra ones. Also cleaning out the shop for the 10 people that are going to be staying here. I am torn between wanting it cold and a couple of days of warm so the farmers can get some corn off. Party starts tomorrow evening with some bow hunting in the swamp with a couple of the guys and then camp prep on Sunday with everyone. We are hunting in 85 this year.
Good luck to all. Safe hunting.

Good luck to everyone. It's a 3Hr drive for me, and no contact with the outside world, unless I drive to the pay phone. (Cells don't work)
We will have beagles again this year, and that will be great, as it's been a couple of years since we hunted with dogs. Most of the local camps use dogs, so we can keep the deer stirred up, and moving. Thick brush. Hunting without dogs can be done, but, mostly you are relying on some other camps dogs when you do it.
Yes, if conditions are right, you might get lucky, and call one in, but, it doesn't seem to work well in our area for some reason.

Interesting, that's what we do with looser hunters that butt in on our land & hunt by themselves because they can't be civil enough to join a gang or guys that don't treat our dogs civil!
Yeah but I'M being serious. I'm under orders from the landowners to shoot anything that isn't theirs.
I'm not against hunting deer with dogs and would actually like to try it sometime. But out here it would be an expensive proposition with a rapid turn over of dogs.
