Sandy-time to get your small games and carry your shotgun.
I have been up close and personal with the coydog mixes here. They are not "normal". No fear of people. So we try to educate as much as we can....lol

Well....tuesday. windy and certainly not feeling anything like fall!! Planted a few bulbs last night then swam and pulverized my spasmed back i to some semblance of retreat....more bulbs to plant tonight after work.

Called the surgeon yesterday-they arent cancelling anyone in the queue for surgery but not taking anyine else for the year other than the current list-and apparently i am on that list. Yay! But still no firm date.

Hoping for cooler on the weekend for getting outside again. Feeling the need to breath in the smell of the fall woods.
Have a great day everyone!!

Thank you @Happy & @thegawd re:birthday.

I think that is the scariest part of this hybrid. They aren't fearful and are unpredictable. Their intelligence is admirable but that doesn't help me when I encounter a pack unarmed.

Being new to my PAL etc., I forgot my 3 year small games license covers me with coyotes. Just took @WLLady to mention small games license for my light bulb to go off. I'll be out back, armed and ready for visitors Saturday. Unfortunately before then I don't have time to sit and wait. Shotgun is ready to be loaded, if they happen to show, on kitchen table. Ammo is not beside it, no worries.

Free range bunny has lost his privilages. Now he gets to free range the mud room.

I need candy. All this stress AGAIN over these yotes. Ok, back to work!

Have a good one.

What's the tags for Sandy ,deer?

If you want to get a deer license too sandy, you will need to show your outdoors card and your small games license as well.
you'll be getting a buck only, ontario wide license at your license provider or the MNRF now. The antlerless draws are long over-and if you didn't apply then you won't have an antlerless license. The antlered only will let you take a buck....
you can hunt yotes with your small game license. just take your PAL with you if you are carrying a shotgun for them.

and happy belated birthday!

That sure would have frightened me, Sandy! Glad you got out of there okay. It's good to have neighbours with guns when you live in the country. We have one that hangs around here and has no fear of humans - it's definitely the head of the pack and very distinctive (not a pure coyote). The neighbour has been trying to take it out for at least three years with no luck.

Good day! I'm not sure how many of you have heard that there is a young man missing in our area... like our immediate area... but as of yet, they haven't found him. It was suggested that I go back and look in the cabin... it WOULD be a great place to get away from people.. or kill yourself... which is the worry with this man. Hes only 20.

Well, I went and got some seed wheat... and when I got back to the drill where Gary was out in the field, he told me two police quads went back to check the bush. Seems they heard about the cabin from a neighbour.... a nosy one of course.... so they asked permission to go back. I told Gary that we/someone should go look... but we got robbed back there a few years ago now... and seem to boycott having any more fun/functions back there, where we always went back before. 'something' just seemed to kill the joy out of spending much time back there. Can you imagine finding someone who had taken their own life back there? And how? I would never get that imagine out of my mind... and like Gary said... we would have to burn it down. Thank goodness he wasn't back there.

Another young man took is life in the Greensville area a few years back. A person my son Robert grew up with... seems he was always a troubled kid. They found him below the Dundas Peak in some brush. Sad.

Good thing, IF hes still alive, that its been warm out. But... I suspect hes already 'gone', and they will someday find a body. Hes been missing since Sat. night... and was around the Crooks Hollow Dam. I'm hoping they have searched the water against the Dam.... Course, he may be LONG gone from anywhere around here too. They have a 'station' set up on Crooks Hollow Road... and the canine unit... mounted police... police on foot, and the quads. Quite a big police presence. I hope it ends well for him and his distraught family.

Well, the blue Jay's won tonights game! Just now. Glad for the Jay's fans, lol.

@ross I was thinking I needed tags for yotes. But it all came back to me. I'm good. No buck tags needed this year. Wouldn't know where to start with cleaning and dressing anyways.

You know, I think it to be a stellar idea for part of the hunting course or a subsiduary of the hunters Ed course should be gutting/cleaning and sections/preparing the meat(s) etc.

I really would like to try wild turkey hunts and the meat, but the task of cleaning is daunting to me. So much so that I'll avoid it. The same with deer or any kind of hunt.

They are so ballsy and intelligent. A deadly combination for those unaware.
