Gill-T

My buddy is an Econ officer. He gets really frustrated with people complaining but not doing anything about seen hunting infractions. They would love a call to bust people breaking the law.

Nope. You need a means to retrieve. The rules on DEC website states a “reasonable effort” to retrieve birds. Antis would love this thread.

Looking up the lifecycle of Chilodonella, the water temp when active is 41-50 degrees.

The shrimp in the dead fish is interesting. Perhaps the shrimp are a vector for another parasite that is effecting predator fish that consume them? We seemingly lost two year classes of kings, steelhead and browns during the stress of the bad winters of '12 and '13 in Lake Ontario. The DEC had no answer for the missing fish (I don't buy thiamine deficiency that decides to crop up after decades of alewife ingestion and no previous problems). Smells like a parasite or virus is at play. I would add that if it is a parasite or virus.....there is nothing that can be done to fix it. Best guess is if there is some insidious pathology at work, it will have to play itself out over time.

Thanks for resurrection of the thread. Really helps to see other people’s deer to see what is available. This fall was bitter sweet with the passing of my father after a 16 year battle with Parkinson’s. I swear my father was directing deer my way all season. I had deer trying to commit suicide every time out. I was skunked only once having deer in easy bow range each sit. Punched 5 tags with most on state or county land. Two easy winters had deer numbers up.

This may be an annual roll over that pulled O2 poor water off the bottom.

What do they treat the roads with during the winter in that corridor? Sand, salt, chemical?

Used to go to Nipising every year but heading up to North Bay on a two lane road with all the population growth in Ontario turned a long drive into a nitemare. Added restrictions and making the walleye opener later killed our Memorial Day tradition. Oh well, we just learned how to fish Oneida, Chautauqua, and Erie. Business and growth is booming in Ontario....they don’t miss us Americans.

I can’t believe Capt Vince hasn’t put a picture of his Canadian Buck up on this bragging board.

Ya that steep gulley needs a name.

Looks like a nice southern tier deer camp you have there Chris.

Seems like it should have a name.

Your kid's soccer net makes for a horrible ground blind.........just saying'
