    This year we are doing a "recon mission" to the property I own in Hearst. I'm the 3rd generation in my family to own it and I haven't been there in 30 years. I've been in touch with my "neighbour" and he has been kind enough to offer to meet us and show us the boundaries and give us access through his property until we are able to blaze our own trail (the "road" was eaten by the bush YEARS ago).
    The plan is to eventually moose hunt on it and build a cabin but for this year it is a matter of taking a couple of chainsaws and just seeing what we are in for. My wife and 16 year old daughter want to go along with my son and my best friend David....should make for an interesting time having the Queen and Princess roughing it with the boys!

    Work around the camp:

    - Lay in firewood
    - trail maintenance
    - upgrade solar system
    - work the food plots

    Hog hunting with friends in Texas in February
    Spring turkey
    Fly Fishing through the spring/summer/fall
    Get as many extra tags as I can and than work hard to fill them starting Oct 1
    Grouse/bunnies/coyotes when time allows
    The wilderness is not a stadium where I satisfy my ambition to achieve, it is the cathedral where I worship.

    We're going to finish the dog's JH (which we would have finished already, had work not kept taking away my weekends). And we're going to try to get out for more waterfowling, as I always insist we should. And the dove hunting we never did this year.

    (This is not the Royal "We"; I refer to the dog and me.)

    As for me, I am going to hit more of the birds the dog puts up, because I fear she thinks I am an idiot.

    I will start with the bad then leave off with the good.
    I am giving up moose hunting. For now. I find it eats into my other hunting interests to much. I want to spend the fall in amungst the hardwoods and do some more deer hunting and some bird hunting.
    Last but not least my dad and I are building a 32 cal. Half stock Pennsylvania flintlock rife. I ordered the barrel the other day and will be ordering the lock ASAP. Now to find a piece if tiger maple for the stock. Oh and shoot some yotes.

    Looks like I have to be in the Peg this spring so would like to try a spring snow goose hunt while in Manitoba. Otherwise, bear and deer (depending on how full the freezer stills is), grouse and definitely as much waterfowl as possible. LOVE jumping ponds for woodies. And fishing. Definitely going to do some fishing. Within the next couple of years, I really want to do a caribou hunt in the tundra. That would be a dream hunt. And I want to go see the northern lights. (I realize that does not qualify as a hunt but just thought I would mention it.)
