Well I would love to go but it is not in the cards for me right now.Thank you Golden Hawk for sending me the info.
John
-
Sorry you can't make it John. We'll take everybody with us through story when we get back.
LeRoy
-
I'm already getting excited. I've never done a hunt like this before.
Looking forward to some time well spent with my fellow trad gangers.
:bigsmyl:
-
How many spots are still open? Do you need a passport to drive into Canada? I know you need one to fly now. I can't get one because of having an outstanding student loan balance.
-
I don't think you need one yet to drive across the border. You definily need a valid picture ID. I have not been over there in several years.
I used to work with a guy that commuted from Windsor. I'll see what I can find out.
-
Currently you only need a certified copy of your birth certificate with the raised stamp on it AND a social security card and/or drivers license to cross the border to Canada.
For additional info:
http://travel.state.gov/travel/tips/regional/regional_1170.html
This covers current and future restrictions as well as what you can carry.
Let me know if anyone needs any more info.
-
C2 there are still two spots open. I thought that in 2007 you needed a passport to go both ways. I may be wrong. I'll do some checking. I'll also Pm you the hunt info.
LeRoy
-
Pm Sent C2. Anybody else need info?
-
Here is the crew so far...Myself,Big dog, Rick Wiltshire,and MI_Bowhunter. I was talking with Chad jones and he has agreed to be our daily update man as we will have limited acess to a computer. We are still in need of 2 more guys to round out our group.
LeRoy
-
C'mon folks, this looks like a great camp, we all know how good those Ontario folks are too... ;) :bigsmyl: Good hunters even better beer drinkers! LOL
I checked the map, this place is wayyy off the beaten path. Nice country and mid Sept. is a beautiful time to be in Northern Ontario
BD
-
You got that right BD and I have pictures that prove it.
-
Sounds interesting,send the PM please,I'd like to at least check it out.
-
I am looking forward to the trip. I am going to get my passport even if I end up not needing it.
Rick
-
Me Too Rick. Better to be safe than sorry.

Tell Harl that if he comes I MAY let him shoot the Shawnee he sold me.
LeRoy,
I just got your message on my cell phone. I don't normally turn the thing on unless I want to make a call. As such I just turned it on today. Sorry.
So who all do we have going as of now?
Rick
-
Rick at this point we have
Myself
You
Big Dog (Cary Gibson)
MI_Bowhunter (Mike Donigan)
Fireman_3311 ( Brad and Brenda Harriman)
I have talked to a couple more guys recently and am waiting to hear back from them in the next week. I'm working on equiptment lists and maps right now and hope to be starting to send stuff out in the next coupe of weeks. Kinda need some input from all of you going on the food list.
LeRoy
-
One idea for suppers....on a past elk hunt, everyone brought one big dish for one big supper, enough to feed everyone...One guy brought fajita's for one nite, I made ham and beans, another brought chili, etc...worked pretty good!!! Just a thought....
-
OR....my wife just re-informed me, that she LOVES to cook...lol!!!(true story, you should see me..lol) She mentions Baked Ziti...yea, it's awesome!!!!!
-
That would be a cool Idea for the last night in camp. Maybe for the first night as a kick off to a great week!
LeRoy
-
One plus for the everyone bringin one supper idea is, you only have to bring one supper!!! LOL!!! Sounds like we're bringin Baked Ziti, for starters...!!! Did I mention how good it is???
-
Will there be a fire pit for grilling?
-
Sure hope so, Rick...you could bring us some fine Illini Whitetail Backstrap!!!!
-
I wish i could go LeRoy but it just ain't gonna happen this year. I'm sure we'll get together sometime in the near future.
-
LeRoy,
Would you please send me the information. This sounds like a great time.
Tim
-
Tim,
It would be great to have you along, we could really stack this thing up with Illinois hunters!
Rick
-
Tim I sent you a PM bud!
Rick and Brad I'm thinking I'll bring the fixins for my crawdad chowder. I do belive we will have a grill at our disposal. I'll check on it.
LeRoy
-
LeRoy,
If there is no grill there, I have a grill that I can bring that will work great over an open fire.
Rick
-
Open fire we definately have. There is a big fire pit in the center of camp.
-
LeRoy....Crawdads sound good to me!!!!! Hopefully the wife will keep us in fish too...lol...Man, it's gonna be a looooong time until September...lol!!!!
-
Stupid Question BUT - what is the dates of the hunt?
-
Rick we will be in camp from Sept 8th-15th.
LeRoy
-
Thanks LeRoy. I was putting hunts down on the family calendar and realized that I forgot the dates you told me. Rick
-
Not a problem Rick. It seems as I get older I have to write more and more stuff down or I forget it.
LeRoy
-
ttt
-
Ok we have our six guys and the hunt is full. Plywood Bender is our #6. Welcome aboard Carl!!
Now the planning can truly begin. Come on September!! I'm really looking forward to meeting you all.
LeRoy
-
Welcome aborad Carl,
We will have to meet up for the drive along with LeRoy and ? Even the drive should be a good time.
How is the tooth?
Rick
-
I am really looking forward to this trip. The last time I went to Ontario for bear was 1995 and I was the only guy not shooting a compound.
Looking forward to seeing old friends and meeting new.
Ahh the tooth. I can't believe I am actually looking forward to a root canal next week. According to my dentist, my number 30 tooth (for all you in the dental field) which is a molar is cracked front to back th entire length. That leaves the nerve hanging in the breeze. Ouch!
come on september.
Carl
-
Howdy Carl, glad you're goin with us!!! Gonna be a long wait until September...I'm ready to go NOW!!!!
-
The time will go by pretty fast guys. next thing you know =it will the week before we are scheduled to go and then we will all be going nuts.
LeRoy
