When your moose hunt is over because you've harvested your moose you can enjoy the day fishing as Ken and Gary have. The guides thought yesterday would have been a great day for moose but they didn't hear anything, saw a few tracks. They're hoping that today will be a...

Well yesterday was another good day for moose hunting as Rob and Krista harvested this 47inch bull moose. Gary and I went fishing in the afternoon and we caught a few so we had a good dinner of fish last night. It's cloudy and misty and 11C this morning. We had 1.6mm...

Guess you thought there might be a moose picture today...they were very, very close last night in harvesting one but he just wouldn't take that last step to take the shot. Don used his "new"old pontoon boat to switch ATV's at the portage. He had some major renovations...

This was Susan's first trip to Hyatt's and she landed this 39 inch Northern Pike and as regulations state, this guy was released. Having a fish picture on means there were no moose harvested yesterday although they did come close. It was a very hot and windy day...

Gary harvested this bull moose on Sunday. That makes it two moose in two days, that doesn't happen very often and definitely not in the first week of the hunt. It took the group a long time and hard work to haul this guy out of the bush. You can't see it in this...

Ken harvested this bull moose yesterday, opening day of archery moose season. This morning was a little warmer, 10C, no mist or fog but it was calm so perhaps the group will be lucky again this morning. I enjoyed an early morning run and will work at cleaning a couple...

Here's Matt W. with the big bear he harvested Thursday night. This guy weighed 325 pounds, look close and you can see how big his paws are. They still have trail cameras on bait stations and there's another big boar visiting the site. This morning is the opening of...

Matt W. passed up this bear a few days ago but he enjoyed watching it during the evening hunt. He switched to a different bait station and harvested a big one last night, you'll see that picture tomorrow. A cold front moved through yesterday making this morning more...

Matt P. harvested this huge bear last evening. Don's scale only goes to 300 pounds and it's well over that. Yesterday was a hot and humid. We sat out on the deck enjoying the evening till about 10pm, something that we don't usually do in the middle of September. Early...

Although I was up early it has taken me a while to get a photo for today. It's "bath time" for the chickens. They enjoy digging in the dirt to make a hole so they can dust themselves. Some of the holes are quite deep. We have about 30 hens but they haven't started...

A beautiful morning to be up to watch the sunrise. Don had an early morning portage and now he has some bear hunters to take out. Yesterday ended up being cloudy all day but it looks like most of the clouds have moved on. Our forecast suggests it will be a muggy day,...

It's a warm morning. This would not make a great moose morning. We reached a high of 27C yesterday and it was quite windy. After cleaning up from our weekend guests Lynn and I managed to get out fishing for an hour. We did catch some fish but the wind blew us off the...

Another early morning with this great group of guys from Gillon's Insurance. It was great to host them. They lucked out with weather this weekend and enjoyed some time fishing. It's a beautiful Sunday morning, sun is sparkling off the lake and it's nice and warm....

Early morning mist off rising off the lake. We've had a very busy morning, finally got some time to sit down and take a breath. Don's had a rush of portages then it will be quiet for a bit this afternoon. It's a gorgeous September day with just a few clouds and...
Friday September 11, 2015
A beautiful start to the day even if there are a few clouds. We'll continue to see a mix of sun and cloud and a high of 16C for today. It's a busy morning as we're preparing for a big group this weekend. It'll be a little crazy for a while but it'll also be a lot of...

This guy wasn't only interested in the food that was being offered, he was also interested in the trail camera. After locating it he ripped it out of the tree. There's a ton of pictures of the top of the trees and the sky. It's a fall like morning, sunny, cool 6C, and...

It's a great morning for a flight. John's heading back home this morning. We enjoyed some trout and walleye fishing with him. Don's off this morning to check minnow traps and bear baits. I'm still working on getting cabins organized for the weekend. Looks like today...

An early morning portage. But it's a beautiful morning, calm, sun rising up over the trees and very quiet. It's been a great Labour Day weekend for those who chose to spend it fishing, or for anyone who just wanted to sit and relax.

This group of happy fishermen enjoyed a day trip to Pettit Lake trout fishing. Yesterday was another hot and humid day which ended with a significant thunderstorm. We received 13.8mm of rain (.54 inches) It's still muggy this morning, cloudy and very light showers.

This is Barry. Last weekend he led a group of participants in a learning experience all about mushrooms. I was amazed at the different kinds of mushrooms that are in the bush.
