As I think you know we fly in to area 17. We had tags but got no moose. The grandson of one of our party saw a cow on the first morning but the wind was blowing so hard it was impossible to get a shot. A couple of days later I called a young bull out but he was 6 to 700 yards away. I tried to call him closer but he was across water and I wasn't good enough to get him to swim.
I think this may have been the last year for me for moose. This June I will be 80 and have been leaning more heavily on others for some time. I have offered to fill in if one of the four now planning on going cannot make it. I still plan on deer hunting at the daughter and son-in-laws cottage since it is a low pressure hunt. Saw lots of deer but they were all does and fawns and I didn't have a tag for antlerless. The hunt was enjoyable though seeing so many deer.
All the best in the new year to you and your family.
Jim

Back bacon in the Midwestern US is called Canadian Bacon. Lots of places down south can't relate to gravy on french fries Yep, no poutines to be seen down here. My wife loves the ketchup flavored potato chips...and a candy bar called a "Wunderbarr" Me, I just like catching jackfish.... You can get your poutine here...as long as your toque is on right eh?

Them is gators. . Not pickerel. Pickerel (walleyes below the line) are for eating. I've never heard of anyone refer to a walleye as a pickerel. and I'll take a northern any day over a walleye to eat.

Grew up fishing in Northern Saskatchewan.
Walleye were always called pickerel.
Northerns were called Jacks or Jackfish.
Not much difference in the flavour between pickerel and Jack if taken out of cold water.
Only issue with Jacks in those y bones. But that can be dealt with .
Alot of people don't like Jacks because of the slime.

The proper name for what most Americans call walleyes is "yellow pickerel", at least that is what the MNR calls them when you get charged for an over limit.

I have heard Canadians call "Walleyes", and Sauger "Pickerel" since 1949, or so.
I understand pickerel is a local name or many fish depending on the area.

Troll along here in the beginning of June in about 8-10 feet of water with a worm an bottom bouncer, and you'll limit out in Pickerel. Couple weeks later you'll have better luck where the water drops off from 12' to 18'. Flyer

Good afternoon Keith.
I have also read the MNR regulations, and putting Yellow in front may make a lot of difference.
I'll stand by the use of "Pickerel" as meaning different fish different places.

A big difference that we have noticed deals with iced tea. We are used to sweetening it to our taste when it arrives. We have found that up there, a glass is filled with sugar and a couple of teaspoons of tea are then added before it is served.

As we seem to have drifted away from semantics, I'll add that many of my NW Ontario friends like sugar and whitener in their coffee. Cream if they can get it, they take their chances with me, milk, or powdered white stuff.

My BIL hails from southern Manitoba. When he says garage, He pronounces it "Gredge" and instead of "eh" it's "uhh"

Real men drink cowboy coffee. Boiling water over camp fire , then throw in handful of coffee, let cool then down the hatch.
It is better to be judged by 12 than to be carried by 6.

All right men, real that is, on the topic of coffee. BC30Cal, and other circumstances switched us onto Maxwell House. The shootest likes his Folgers Black Silk, and we have shared of couple of cups together.
What do you like? Canada has Nabob, Red Rose, and years back, I bought Edwards at Safeway. There are some others I'm sure that don't show up so much in the US.
As a footnote that Black Silk will put hair on your chest, or burn it off!

Smooth as an oil slick, with a robust flavour - no bitter aftertaste.

MJB is my choice for a good cup of coffee.
Perked in a percolater or on the stove; over coals while in the bush.
Can't abide that stuff they call drip coffee....I suffer through it while on the road though.
FWIW I have never seen Red Rose coffee, only tea.
