The Hunting Beast

Decided to head up to the cottage to ice fish our summer spots. Didn't find any fish but we did find a rack of a dead deer! lots of tracks in this rugged country.. Would've loved to spend more time scouting, but as always time is limited...

Great looking country.

I don’t ice fish much anymore. Everytime I do I am thinking about scouting and asking myself why I’m wasting time looking down a hole.

I'm starting to feel the same way

Yeah, i think my Ice fishing days are done. I only ever ice fished with my late uncle, and the last time i went with him, i would have thought he won a Cabela's shopping spree! From the Taj Mahal of portable shanties, to super warm heaters, cozy lounge chairs and every other toy imaginable, all hauled out with two four Wheelers...no, can't see myself walking miles out on the ice and sitting on a bucket.
Now, frozen water means scouting those hard to reach places in the marsh! I'll save the fishing for my kayak.

Looks like Canadian sheild water.

Nice buck... I used to love fishing, but its hard to do. Gets in the way of my scouting / hunting.

We try get out a couple times a year to stock the freezer.. and yes it’s the Canadian Shield, northern part of Georgian Bay
