Nice Boco!

Look at that snow. It was 85°F here today.

Seems like your a bit off

No you are.
Arctic watershed marker is halfway between Sudbury and Timmins.
James bay(Saltwater) is 186 miles north.
The Hudson Bay watershed is part of the Arctic watershed.

What does that watershed mean?

All streams flow north to the arctic ocean.
why people here always say down North and Up South-Its downstream and down in elevation to sea level at Moosonee.
Just like the great lakes watershed is part of the Atlantic watershed-all streams flow south of the watershed (height of land) to the Atlantic.
Why people up south say Up North and Down South.
There are Polar Bears,Seals and Beluga Whales in James Bay.

Divides

As can be seen from shakey's map, most of Hudson Bay flows into the Atlantic Ocean.

Hudson bay is part of the arctic ocean-look it up.
Thats why the watershed sign say arctic watershed and atlantic watershed depending if you are standing north ot south of the sign.
Next time I drive to North Bay or Sudbury I'll snap a pic for you.

Atlantic Ocean

However this seems to be in dispute.

"Different authorities put various marginal seas in either the Arctic Ocean or the Atlantic Ocean, including: Hudson Bay,[7][8] Baffin Bay, the Norwegian Sea, and Hudson Strait."

Nope,Hudson bay is part of the arctic ocean.

color of leather side looks about right for a fall beaver - not yet fully prime. Not sure that matters much if its going to the hatter market.

Yep,the underfur will grow another 1/4 inch then the shadow will leave the skin light colored all over.Not far off now.

The heaviest I've graded and purchased are from Coldfoot AK. Really impressive after I've looked at everything that goes into the heavies at FHA, not that the heavies are that bad from FHA, but they just aren't like those that all come from a truly heavy section. I treat those guys as special customers.

Next thing you will be saying is the best marten come from AK and not the Arctic region of Ontario.

Nope not even close. The Barguzin region of Siberia is where the best Sables come from, see you learn something new all the time.

I guess I should have said American marten. (Martes americana).
