Got invited by a buddy to a remote (ish) first week deer camp. After several bad winters, the deer herd is just recovering, so we didn't get anything.
Was a great adventure though, made 11 new friends and saw those northern stars for the first time in a long time.
Visited an abandoned 100+ year old trapper's cabin. Anyway, here's some pictures...
Cabin is 2 hours by tractor and wagon from the road.
Found a giant water bug, porcupine, cool purple fungus. Can't get all pictures to upload because they aren't resized yet.

Did you run into Boco in the bush?

Sounds like you had a great time up in God's country. Those giant water bugs are cool

He was in northern Ontario and ran into 11 people so obviously!……lol
Cool pics! I hate those friggin toe biters!

I wasn't far enough north to meet Boco, but if I had, I surely would have offered him a beer.

Nothing like that around here.

What was the general latitude of the area you were in? Just curious.

Sorry, you gave the town's name so I looked it up, just over 46 degrees north. Must be the part of "lower" Ontario

now that is a very giving guy at Canadian beer prices.

I bought pop for the kid today , holy cow did that stuff get expensive
7.99 for a 12pack that was at the grocery store

I think they are keeping beer in the US artificially low so that there isn't a revolt

a 30 rack is still around 20 dollars

Looks neat, just how big is that water bug? By the picture I’d be shooting them with a shotgun.

Take your Grandkids to McD for a meal and ice cream!

Great pics Sly.
The Restoule area is home to some very famous trappers from back in the golden age of the OTA-1950's
Tons of fur trapped around that area of north central Ontario.Large beaver quotas and all taken under ice back in the day.
Come on up to the FHA convention Sly and I'll buy you a beer at fast eddys.

Should be a good convention as William L Big Land Trapper from Alone Artic 11 is going to be there

I always want to go, but never can seem to free myself from work/life commitments at that time.
I'll see what I can do...

10 bucks a person minimum 15 is probably closer.

I did go to Hardees for lunch today , 11.57 for 2 sandwiches drank water don't get any fries or anything , was out grocery shopping and Menards.

my parents order the kids meal at culvers one of the best deals going.

Hardees takes a little longer but they are making the burger while you wait

I used to go to restoule regularly for many years. Great camping and the lake has Walleye, smallmouth and muskie.
I shot my first whitetail there during a deer drive with hounds. Quite the experience!
Were you north of the lake towards sand lake?
Boco’s gotta be about 6-8 hrs north of there (?)

Yes, near sand Lake at an organized hunt camp.
I would say about 4-6 more hours to James Bay as well.

Very nice.
