Greetings from Happy Camp with this week’s update. Our good friends and neighbors Roger and Bev finally tied the knot late this afternoon and all of us were treated to deep fried turkey, salads, desserts and of course lots of cold Canadian Lager! A great time was had by all especially Duke, the newest member of their clan, who is a 6 week old bear hunting pup!
Congratulations, Bev and Roger.
Fishing continues to be strong for pike, walleye and some big perch mixed in. John had a beautiful 35 inch pike, Neal had a 25 inch Walleye taking top honors this week, and Leonard was happy bringing in a limit of walleyes while fishing with Chris. Not to be out done, the crew from Wingham, Ontario, brought back a fantastic catch of Speckled Trout with the assistance of Roger and his wisdom of the Ontario bush!
We were successful in obtaining our first BMA and will be exploring this in earnest this year. This allows us to provide bear hunting to non-residents, and we are excited for this opportunity. Stay tuned for this exciting hunting opportunity at Happy Camp!
Many sightings of moose continue to add to the wildlife tally. As of today, moose numbers are over 20, bear at 22, wolf at 3 and birds (including three baby rough grouse) are very numerous as well.
The explosion of flowers has included many wild roses in the area while the black flies are working hard to pollinate the wild blueberries. Timely rains have kept them going so far this year and hope they continue.
Last night the Northern Lights were observed during a beautiful orange moon.
We will be offering our first Happy Camp T-shirts soon; they should arrive in the next week or so.
Thank you for all who are making Happy Camp a success for 2013 and many years to come. We have been blessed to meet many wonderful people and we have some room left for this year, so come on and catch the good life with us at Happy Camp!!
