Testing the trail cameras

[Sam Menard]

I’m planning to make the 6 hour trip to the deer camp in about 4 weeks. In years with an early spring (like this one) the Rainy River opens up and excellent walleye fishing can be had before the season closes on April 14th.

I usually spend a couple of afternoons setting up my trail cameras for the season. I can normally count on the batteries lasting until November.

in preparation for the trip, I’ve set up my cameras (9 of them) around the house. With all the surveillance gear out, the yard looks like a CIA compound. Hopefully I get better luck this year as 4 cameras quit on me last year for various reasons.

I also have 4 non-cell cameras that I’ll set up for moose in May. Stuff like this gets me out of the house.

God's country up your way. The stretch between Shabaqua and LOW is one of my favorite areas in Ontario. If i had to live in a town pretty sure i would choose the Fort and rent a slip at the municipal marina on the Rainy. Shoot across the line for a boat in feed/bar or if needed good international airport at St. Paul. Couple of decent restaurants in town plus a Wally Mart, Crappy Tire and Mark's plus some decent smaller hunting/fishing stores. So many good options. Good luck with the cameras.

Lots of friends up that way between the Nugold mine and Naicatchewenin.

The drive along Highway 11 is very nice plus there’s very little traffic, it’s like having the road all to yourself. The Fort is a very nice town and it’s too bad that the mill closed. Lots of great boating and fishing with Rainy Lake, Rainy River, and Lake of the Woods nearby. Recreational properties are expensive though being so close to the US.
