[red maples]

Even though its only august a little hunting fever is itching me!!!! I looked out the front window and saw a 4 and a six point munching at my peach trees. still in full velvet they were scratching at their horns a little with their hooves. time to dust of the bow and start to practice a little!!!

Your lucky I can't hunt here in Quebec because I can't function in french well enough to take the course and tests. Deer ate the tops off all the little maple trees I planted so I need to get back at them.

Ae you from canada originally or from the states ?? you need to take some french classes man!!!! So you can take that test and hunt again.

few weeks ago seen a dandy buck drinking out of the creek, sight like that sure does get the mind thinking about bowhunting. only problem is when i sit in the stand, I start thinking about the to do list.....should tighten laterals, jam more wood out, add on line to that section, The list is endless but I sure enjoy that part of spending time in the woods. Only problem here in northern Wis. is the wolves are really multiplying fast and hitting the deer herd hard. The old timers who spent so much effort in eradicateing them are probably spinning in their graves!

I am from Alberta actually. Where I lived we had both white tail and mules and a few miles east there were pronghorn and I used to go out in the hills west and go after elk and bear. Me and moose never got in the same spot for some reason. I have white tail in the back yard most of the time and as I get the trees down and thined out for the maple trees I see more tracks out back.

Any serious maple maker doesn't think about hunting until all repairs are made, wood is put up, and all the repairs in the woods are taken care of.

That's funny Homestead cause I was thinking any serious bowhunter would have all his maple stuff done and not think about anything but venison.

Ken,
You have to be retested in each province in Canada? Most states accept a previous from another state I think I know VT does. You may have to hunt here.

I always put up my trail cameras Aug 1, every year, which still catches most of those bucks in velvet. This gives lots of time to check the bucks touring the farm and gives me plenty of time to finish preparing for maple season, and gets things well underway for deer season.
