BIRDS

The opener was September 15th and the guys were out in full blaze orange.  We now have some birds in the freezer to enjoy.  The one Rick got in the picture on the bottom was big - almost like a chicken.  Once our company leaves we will head up there to do some hunting and relaxing ourselves.  Can't wait!

MY FIRST DRONE ENCOUNTER

I saw my first drone the other nite up at Hinkler.  One of the guests at Ituksum was showing his off and I got to watch it for a few minutes.  That thing sure can hover and it is very fast going straight up  and the whirring sound is pretty neat.  And it goes up high.  Tim said that he got some nice shots of the camp ground and surrounding area.  You can see the little Go-Pro camera sitting in the middle and taking the shots.
You are out in the middle of no-where and BAM - there's a Drone!!

NORTH SHORE FISHERIES LAKE STUDY CREW

Rejean and Ron and Dale headed out the other day to do a study on one of the many lakes around here.    It was successful but the trip into the lake was a bit tricky.  I think that means that the lake is safe from a lot of the casual fishermen up here.  Only the strong survive the trail to this lake.

But I know where it is…..

HAPPY BIRTHDAY RICKY

Wishing one of my favourite fishing partners a very Happy Birthday.  Ricky will always be older than me by about 4 1/2 months.

Here's to many many more fishing adventures Ricky!!

A NEW LITTLE ANGEL

Little Casie is now running with wings on his paws and in no more pain over the Rainbow Bridge.

He was loved.

SUN FLOWERS

Just a couple of quick pictures of sunflowers from Mary's new garden - pretty!!!

A LEANER

We noticed this tree is leaning a bit more.  We can see at the base that it is close to falling over - roots and all.  They grow out of the smallest bits of dirt for so long and then they get so heavy that a good wind will blow them over.  We hope it waits until the winter to make the clean up a little easier…

It's too bad as it is a beautiful White Pine.
