Great advice there. Just wish their maps where better as the info seems vague, one day I'll have to go in and see if they got physical maps more accurate than those available on the computer.

The NCC produce some pretty good aerial photo maps of their properties for their info package but I agree the LPRCA maps are somewhat vague. I might suggest checking on the Norfolk County website as the have a ARC/GIS map that shows aerial photos of 2020 and 1964 and by sliding the bar/curser back and forth you can see it now or back to 1964 for the same area. Really cool !

I use Googe earth pro and then add way points based on the hunting map, its not 100% accurate but it gives much better detail and you can zoom in to the actual tree you are using and zoom out to see the agriculture that the deer are travelling to, and see ATV routes to avoid.

I currently live in niagara falls, on and can travel anywhere in the province providing the right opportunity. I am very comfortable outdoors and in good shape. I am interested in learning how to hunt deer and turkey for the most part but honestly i’m game for whatever people are willing to teach and share that knowledge. I’m most interested in spot and stock, learning how to call and using a tree stand, but again, i’m down for whatever style as i’m just trying to learn.

If there is any other information that is needed i can provide it.

Thanks!

I would love the opportunity to hunt with you. Even if it means just getting out there and seeing how it all goes down. As I said I literally have no experience or to be honest fully understand all of hunting culture as I didn’t grow up in it. I will definitely reach out! Thanks so much Bob!
