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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]
