There used to be check stations along Hwy 144 north of Sudbury but never on Hwy 11.

The last few years I have seen the Enforcement truck but always in town around Kemptville, which is where the local office is. The land they cover is just insane.
For many years there always was a game check station on Hwy 522 west of Trout Creek but not anymore .Some years they still have check points south of Gravenhurst.

That Trout Creek check point was there this past year, might not of been a 'game' check but they put their head in the window for the smell test and asked about firearms in the truck. I went through it on the way to first week of deer camp in Commanda.

Years of driving by it as a kid with my dad, I marveling at all the deer I saw, hoping that one day I could be one of those guys. I took my first deer to that check station, I think that was the last year it operated.

It was a MNR check station where they collected jaws for examination in exchange for patches and they weighed some of the deer. There was a small shelter building on-site. It was at the intersection of Hwy 522 & 524.

Are you hunting wolves? If there is a wolf population explosion then maybe a wolf hunt would be a good idea, even at 2 wolves each person with tags.

I wish others had done the same because the herd would be in better shape.
sadly thats the governments job. from what you wrote they clearly didn't do a good job with he quotas over there. whata shame.

We have a camp in 47. Been there forever. Started by good ol guys in the 50s. On deeded property but surrounded by crown and other camps. Yes it is crown but you can not access unless you use our rd and thats not happening.it makes no sense to try to walk into a group of established camps and expect to be greeted with open arms when in fact you are probably ruining their hunt. There is lots of crown. Dont be that guy to try to muscle in. As far as deer go...their numbers are way down. We ride there all winter and see maybe 20 a day while we used to see hundreds in a weekend.
