Meet with Surgeon tomorrow and should have a date shortly after. Life is being played by ear right now. I am making lots of progress depriming brass and shotgun shells for reloading in the winter. Really bored and it is killing me watching everyone post up pictures of deer.
We can do Saturday morning but not Sunday.
OK so
5 Star Kemptville Restaurant
9:30 AM

Good Place for a breakfast for people new to hunting, new to the Ottawa area etc to meet some of the faces on the OOD, ask where the crown land is.
Wow guy's smaller crowd then past years.

I'll chime in. I'll come and I'll see if I can get my brother (a new hunter) to come along. (We just need to have no tornadoes this time around!)
As a follow up, I'll be bringing my son (10 yo) with me as well.

We never seem to be able to get together to eat, last time there was a series of Tornados in the area that caused a flood of people from Ottawa to our little area, ask MikePal how it was holding a table with a line out the door, ha ha.Quote:

You should come down sometime. We've had people come from Northern Ontario and Southern Ontario.
And none of us bite. OK well I can say for sure I don't bite, well I don't bite in public although there was that one time at the bar that a Girl Friend, yeah probably getting carried away here.
Anyways nobody bites.
Or if your ever going to be down this way just say so.

Looking forward to it, always a good time to get the CTC in Kemptville, along with TSC.
Mark, I thought you'd be at TSC this morning at 5:00 am for the Midnight Madness sale....socks for $1 HaHa...Quote:

Hey folks, being new, again, to the area and seems like I can’t find enough folks who like to get out, might join you on Saturday next weekend!
I hope you do, there a number of new Ottawa area people who want to be taken out hunting but seem to be too busy to meet people before hand, makes it tough to bring them out hunting to your honey hole.Quote:

Kids are allowed tooQuote:

I will be there with my son and maybe another friend. He will probably be a last minute confirmation though.
How old are your kids? My son is 10.Quote:

So Mike would you like to book it? You can put it under my name if you like, just tell them Greatwhite.
So let's say 10 if more show up I'm sure we can squeeze them in.
to confirm; seating for 10 at 10:00 Sat 1 Dec ?.....I'll call in the reservation :)Quote:

As Fox has indicated. For new people this is a great opportunity to get your questions answered.

And yes I will be there.
Hopefully everyone can be there for breakfast tomorrow at 10:00
Logan and I are going rabbit hunting afterwards in Marlborough Forest, if anyone would like to join.
Count me in and that would be a great double header !!
Another successful OOD Breakfast 'meet and greet'...a good turnout and nice to see a few new faces. Thanks for getting this one organized GW !!
How did you and Logan make out hunting after ?
Logan and I went in off Paden road. We did see a few rabbits. The first one was in dense brush and I saw it going several times but couldn't really get a bead on it. The second rabbit was on the move, Logan took off after it it but we lost sight of it. I showed him different tracks Deer, Coyote. We saw a white Ermine I think thats what it was. Also seen to of the largest porcupines I have ever seen.
We also came about a pile of pine cones piled neatly in the branch's of a small tree. I'm guessing a squirrel has piled his food source right beside it.

A little late. Thanks for setting up the breakfast. I had mentioned that I'd share a link to some maps of Lanark County forests. What I've found on this page is that if you select Lanark County Forests in the layers box, it highlights a bunch of OTHER forest areas that might be worth exploring. Have fun!

Thanks for that link..greatly appreciated.
I know we also talked about the Limerick Forrest, but that link doesn't show it very well. If you go to this link you can see the area better. It's divided into north and south and has lost of access trails.
Lots of the trails aren't used during Hunting season and will take you well off the beaten path. Some great hunting back there.

Be aware though that there are private properties within the Limerick, know where you are hunting.Quote:
