Just got a small one on cam the other day in 78A but no open season here. I think they should at least have an archery-only season to pre-empt future conflicts.

huntnmachine, thanks! I'm hoping for some action even if I don't make a kill.
canthitathing,
I also see quite a bit of sign in 78B during the summer months. I haven't seen any bears first hand yet though.

will start baiting next weekend here in 54. Bag of sweet feed and some meat smells to start then onto bread and sweets when they find it.

I was out scouting with a buddy,today. The bugs are starting already. This could be a tough year for bush stompin'.
If a tree falls on your ex in the woods and nobody hears it,you should probably still get rid of your chainsaw. Just sayin'....

Lol, this is too funny. Up in northern Ontario, we still have a ton of snow in the woods. In fact, we are going to get another dump later this week. There’s a very good chance that there will be ice on our lakes come opening day for walleye (May long weekend). At this rate I won’t have to worry about bugs until June… seriously! I can’t see us having much of a fawn crop this year.

May long weekend is a long way off. A lot will change before that. Don’t think I’d worry too much yet.
Lake is still froze at my Sudbury area cottage and still snow in the bush but I’m pretty sure the blackflies will be out in full force by the may long weekend regardless

I use a bug net for my head and secure it with my hat. Long sleeves and gloves do the rest.
Trying out essence of anise this year. Besides that I've been saving up my bacon grease and I'll be using good old raspberry jello powder. Lost my hook up for used cooking oil but it shouldn't be too hard to find a new one. Getting very excited for the opener in a couple weeks.
