Mid-February

Hi Happy Campers!  It looks like Mid winter has set in with a sharp cold snap and wind from the north, nasty cold for a week or so!  Maybe that will lead to warm spring, time will tell!

Some fine Happy Camper sent me a Moose Proposal to curb the Calf Harvest by closing that season until October 24, 2015.  It also appears that they will be closing the season earlier for all Moose as well.  This is in hopes to re-build a herd that has been diminishing for a handful of years!

The MNR also pointed out that the predators are the main reason for the numbers going down.  To me the predators are Wolf, Bear and Man.   It would seem natural to try to reduce the predator numbers as well.  Certainly got our fingers crossed that we get a Spring Bear hunt in 2016, again time will tell!

I spent the day visiting with Folks at a Sports Show in Central Wisconsin.  Met people from Traditional Archer Groups, Bear hunting fellows and the Ruffed Grouse Society to mention a few.  Was great to chat with them about all the Happy Camp area has to offer!  Also plan to have some new angry Spinner Baits for the Pike to chase this year.  Hope their skirts hold up better than the ones we have used in the past!

With that I wish you a great day, time to go devour a plate of Ribs, taters and Kraut!  Hey Dan, we are fresh our of your great Kraut, how about sending us a can in the mail?  Take care everyone and Come On and Catch the Good Life with Us at Happy Camp Ontario!!!
