If you re-read my post you will see that I agree with Monashee.
Let me be clear. I find many of Jburner's posts disturbing.

Thank goodness. At first glance I thought the thread title read, "Where do udders go in the winter?"

Dear RS308Mx
These people are Canuckistanis and you can't expect too much. Mr. jburner; While I see that you have been a member here for some time, it would appear you are bent on making up for lost time as of late. In any social setting where folks gather, for example around a campfire, an experienced ear is able to quickly differentiate between those of substance and those who are enamored with the sound of their own voice. The difference here would be instead of clogging the pure night air with verbal effluence, some would choose to use up bandwidth as they create blisters on smoking fingertips. I found the term you used for me and my countrymen, some of whom died so I could remain free, to be offensive and would prefer you found another way of addressing us. Since you clearly added that you did not expect much from me, please be assured sir that is precisely what you will receive. The only benefit I can determine is that you have removed any remaining doubt as to how you expect to be treated. Regards, Dwayne

Excellent post Dwayne,I find Mr jburner to be somewhat of a troll and am making use of the ignore feature for the first time since I joined the Campfire.I believe he has a lot to say about Canada and Canadians but knows very little about either.I think he would be happier in the Political Forum at AR.Cheers,Monashee

I agree. I would only contribute this to the original question, FWIW: Translation: where ever they please.

Ooh I think jburner is just trying to arouse some good political debate and awearness check out steynonline or ezra levant or freecanuckistan via steynonline by googling. The stuff on the canadian human rights commission makes any freedom loving Canadian's blood boil to the point of using a valid albeit miss placed term like canuckistanis back there. I am with him in the sense I think it's time for us Canadians to wake up our liberties our democarcy is declining incuremently before our very eye's and no one seems the least bit interested. That in it self is frustrating. All good camp fires need some political debate so bring it on.

We see them all winter,you can see the slides in the snow they use to play on near open water.The whole river is ice free this year so theres nothing to hold them back.Last year I watched them catching whitefish and bringing them onto the ice to eat. Monashee

Dear Steve Redgewell,
I assume that the uniform you wore for 21 year was the one with the vertical stripes on it? Were your living quarters padded? Did you get out early for good behavior?
Dear Monashee,
If the natural history of otters is too difficult a subject for you to wrap your head around its better for both of us if you put me on ignore.
As for those with freedom fighting ancestors. I likely have as many ancestors on the cenotaphs as you do but most of them got there because a letter came in the mail rather than because of any John Wayne instincts. My father's brother is there and his only interests were sports cars and girls.
Fot those who were able to maintain sufficient focus to discuss otters. Thanks!

All this squabling is reminding me of a beatiful French-Canadian girl I knew many years ago from Montreal. She was true charmer, particularly on the days she woke up Canadian. On the days she woke up French, she was hell on wheels...

Sea otters remain in the sea eating clams, ooysters starfish,ect river otters remain in rivers or near them. Both love to play and eat Canadians ,canucks live by the sea ,rivers and lakes.They also like to eat from the sea and rivers and lakes.. In the winter time they make their own open water to catch fish through..they also tackel bigand small game to subsist on..IN the far north country above 49th parallel.we semi hibernate in wooden shacks ,skin houses [tents],ice tents,[igloos]...sometimes we hunt with bows,arrows ,and spears. we wear animal skins,furs, and burn wood for heat. WECAN ALSO FIGHT LIKE HEII IF PROVOKED, you are now better informed about CANUCKS Norm

Interesting info on otters. I'm from the UP of Michigan so I can relate with canucks. I just don't want your government or healthcare system. No offense. Doesn't a canuck sniper hold the record for farthest confirmed kill on an enemy. Nearing the 2 mile mark I believe over in afghanistan.
Keep your powder dry and stay frosty my friends.

Norm, You might be interested to know that you can find otter skid trails in the far north miles from any typical waterway (see my post above), and that they seem to wander widely sometimes taking advantage of fishless beaver ponds where they apparently raid the lodges for red meat.

brinky72, Correct on the sniper.............using US ammo we don't want your gov't either. Your president is.....well,no need to explain further. Isn't Michigan's governor a b**ch originally from Ontario? EDIT: After a quick check on Wikipedia, it appears Michigan's governor was born in Vancouver,BC. It appears you DO have a Canadian government, at least in Michigan.

There is no shortage of otters in Canada but there is now a shortage of people trapping them and if no one traps them they will die of disease or starvation.
If it were legal to hunt otter in the winter when their skins are prime, in places like Ontario where they are not now legal to shoot, it would open up a whole new hunting sport venu for mid-winter just like lynx hunting would.
I suppose the way to get them would be to use dogs when they cross from lake to lake (the way they used to hunt them in Eangland), to bait them, or hunt along breathing places in the ice at places like rapids?
They have lovely pelts and would make as good full mount. Then there are fisher and marten and mink. If you could add about 7 more species to a winter sport hunting licence it would get more people into the bush.
