FYI, I just received word from the chairperson of the Elgin Stewardship Council that they will be releasing pheasants at Fingal PWA this season. I never thought to ask how many though.

Thanks for sharing the good news, have a great season.
I think 700 or 800. Does that sound about right

I could be thinking of another place.
The management plan calls for up to 250 annually.
That's about 30 birds a week, not to bad.

My Britt has orthopedic issues (arthritis in a foreleg, ligament reconstruction in a hind leg) so for her Fingal is where we go for an occasional walk now. If I bag a bird it will be a fluke taken during a small game hunt.Quote:

There's no birds at fingal in fact that place doesn't exist and don't even try to find the place it's the Bermuda triangle of southern Ontario.
Nonsense. Fingal is easy to find.Quote:

In all seriousness there is a pretty bad crowding problem there on Saturdays. Last year I had someone following behind me who elected to take a shot at a bird that flushed and flew over my head. Two years before, I was working along a hedgerow and had someone pop out 10 yards ahead, look at me, and then proceed to turn and start hunting in front of me. Naturally, I moved elsewhere. These kinds of things make me steer clear of weekends.
Just GOOGLE " Fingal Wildlife Management Area " and you get all the info along with a map of how to get there , just SW of St Thomas and W of Port Stanley.Quote:

Look at it on an air photo and you will see an actual Bermuda triangle in the middle, shrunk to fit. Look:

Also, here is actual verified scientific evidence that it really is actually verified scientifically haunted:

Haunting is most severe on Saturdays, Mondays, Wednesdays and Thursdays during the hunting season. I strongly advise staying away on those days, when I will be going in with my loyal dog, accompanied by Sam & Dean Winchester, to clear out the ghosts.
Awww yeeah Supernatural better bring Cass the Angel guy. The Birds at fingal have a taste for brains the human kind.
Let me know when your out there I'll be happy to carry the gun. Tried it for the first time last year. Found it a small area to hunt and the fence rows a nasty tangle of wild thorn scrub felt bad for the dog working that stuff. For me prefer Hullet.Quote:

Re ghosts, there were about 20 men killed flying from there in WWII.
