I have been telling the old man now for years that he should give me his property since he isn't using it, but I'm still waiting. Actually he should just give me my inheritance all together what better in life to see your kids retired. :)

Good luck if they are relying on Google Earth. I put in several food plots at my camp 10+ years ago and the current (as of today) Google Earth images still don't show them. In fact the resolution is so poor you cannot even see a large (40x60) stone barn foundation that has been there for 80+ years. This is not a property that is way out in the boonies either. As the crow flies it is +/- 160 km from the CN tower.Quote:

From google earth you would think my property was vacant bush
This is 2016 google earth
Mpac boundaries are a joke 300 ' or better off from actual survey lines
Might just be easier to camp at a campground up the road... Day use only..

I've notice here in Northwest Ontario, there are broad stripes/bands of high resolution imaging.
They usually center over towns, mining and highways.
I think commercial interests buy/pay Google for resolution that they need but once created, Google gives away to everyone. Not sure exactly the business mechanism but judging from all the commercial interest centered on Google high resolution zones, I figure there has to be a connection
I have noticed that as well. I have a done a fair bit of work on the New Gold mine site NW of Fort Frances in your neck of the woods and noticed the Google Earth resolution in the project area is much higher resolution.Quote:

2. As indicated, a 16' x 16' cabin ( or thereabouts) can often be built on concrete blocks or rocks, and can also be argued that it can be disassembled and by definition is temporary.
3. Townships don't rely on overflight, or satellite images. Further to that, if you look at the areas that I referenced, not only are there tons of unorganized townships, but the satellite imagery is sketchy at best.
Not saying that everyone should do what I did, but it was a fun bunch of years playing around up in gods country.
Just drive north , hunt on crown land , save your money and nerves from trespassers...
Totally agree with you there heck even 3 hours from Ottawa when hunting I rarely run into other hunters.
