When August and I got married back in September, we felt like we wanted to wait until winter set in to take our honeymoon. We wanted to go somewhere warm, and get a little break from the deep freeze we get for four months, rather than travel during the short […]

For several years now, my friends and I have travelled north to Red Lake to moose hunt for the last week of the season, which always wraps up on Dec. 15 across Northwestern Ontario. We went again last week despite the very cold temperatures that swept across the region. The […]
This past weekend, my wife, August, and I travelled down to St. Paul, Mn. for the annual St. Paul Ice Show. This is the biggest ice-fishing show in North America, with representation from nearly every company that makes a product for ice-fishing, as well as several retail outlets. If you […]

It’s pretty safe to say that winter is here to stay across Sunset Country. It’s also probably time for all of us to start thinking about Christmas. That means it’s time to get your shopping done now so you’re not stuck trying to put something together at the last minute, […]

My fishing buddies, Jamie Bruce and Sean McAughey, are about as hard-core as it gets for getting out on the water or on the ice. They don’t let weather conditions stop them and every free day they have, they find someplace to wet a line. In fact, they’ve been on […]
With the close of the non-resident deer-hunting season late last week, my guiding business that’s kept me busy for the past month-and-a-half or so is finished up. After a busy summer fishing, then a shift right into deer season, I’m looking forward to a little bit of downtime around home. […]
Late fall always is an interesting time of year. The changing of the season is very noticeable as temperatures start dipping below freezing quite frequently. Yet we still get those nice days, with light winds mixed in, that allow us to get outdoors, in the woods, or in the boat […]
One night last week, I was walking out to my garage to turn some lights off just after supper. As I got closer, I could hear something under a tarp behind the garage where I was keeping some peas that I like to feed deer with (my wife and I […]
Over the past seven or eight years since I finished university, my fall season has been totally consumed with deer hunting. In 2005 and 2006, our deer population really peaked in Northwestern Ontario. At that time, my interest in deer hunting was very high. I was spending much of my […]
One thing about the fall season, for me, is it’s always far too busy and goes by way too fast! Between all the bass tournaments and great fall fishing for other species like walleye, pike, and crappie, and getting ready for my deer-hunting season, you only can do so much. […]
