Sunday is, in some ways, the longest day of the week. There`s a lot of time to kill and you can`t hunt. You also don`t want to party too hard as tomorrow morning will come every earlier than yesterday or today. There`s a bit of an excited tension weaving it`s way through camp and we`ll [...]

WellPreserved Goes Moose Hunting 2010 – Day 2 – The Tribe Arrives
Posted in Moose, tagged wellpreservedgoesmoosehunting on October 30, 2010 | 7 Comments »
Morning came way too fast – and she arrived with a lot of chaos. To explain the eruption that started my day I’ll need to rewind to the last moments of the previous evening. After finishing my journal entry I closed my book, secured it with the magnetic clasp that bound it and sealed it [...]
WellPreserved Goes Moose Hunting 2010 – Day 1 – Late Arrival and a Welcome Greeting
Posted in Moose, tagged wellpreservedgoesmoosehunting on October 29, 2010 | 12 Comments »
2.45AM Late night Friday, Oct 22 (technically the 23rd as it’s well past midnight as I write this) It’s been a long day. A long week, long month and long last little while. Don’t misconstrue that as a complaint or request for sympathy. Things have been great – just very, very busy. “Have been busy” [...]

Human behaviour (including my own) fascinates me. Last week I learned that a friend tried several foods for the first time in his life last year – including squash and broccoli. He is in his mid-40s and has a limited selection of options which he likes to choose from when it comes to eating. He [...]

Posted in Moose on October 24, 2010 | 1 Comment »
The annual Moose cull is now complete. 9 days off-road and deep within the forest – a core group of 11 of us spent just over a week together and I am back to `civilization.` The posts on the hunt and my perspective on harvesting animals as part of a local diet will start on [...]
Licenses, licesnses everywhere – Hunting in Ontario…
Posted in Hunting (General) on October 23, 2010 | 2 Comments »
You need a lot of licenses to hunt in Ontario. Here`s a list of what I am carrying on me this week in the woods (excluding things like a car license): A gun license. This gives me authority and responsibility to carry a gun. This is not the same as the gun registry which registers [...]

If you`ve been around these parts for a while, you`ll know I`m a sucker for timelapse photography, especially when it is related to food. There`s not much more to say about the following video (click on it to go to the source) that shows a bowl of fruit and vegetables to go from fresh to [...]
