you got that right Turkeys in my Hilton spot are gone

she's got shoes on!

Looking at this fishing website.

In six weeks a traffic jam will start at the pier heads. Just a reminder to larger boats, be courteous to the small boat fishermen.

The biggest impact on low turkey numbers is wet and cold weather during the first ten days after hatching. Then the polts can fly and get off the wet ground to roost. Nest predation does have an impact also. The biggest predator on eggs happens to be crows. i saw a program last night on the outdoor chn and they cooked crow on the grill. They put olive oil pepper and salt and said it was good and that they would do it again

Wow! That brings back memories. First of all Ted Cornish is the father of the Gene Cornish of the Young Rascals. my best friend and would hang around Max's talking all about fishing. this was before any Great Lakes salmonid programs. he would keep all the biggest chubs for pike ice fishing. I think that was before or early Jay-Ve tackle days on Mt hope Ave. Ahh memories

It's been happening there for years. A few years ago it happened to us. someone broke in my brothers truck while we were fishing. they took a cheap pair of binoculars and the registration. Have seen several piles of glass over the years from broken windows. its so isolated unless you have a cop there full time you'll never stop it. that won't happen

I am always road scouting turkeys all year long. This gives me an idea where to go into the woods during april. I'm usually in the woods before light at least a dozen times in april. This gives me info on roosting areas and where they head after fly down. I never use turkey sounding calls. Occasionally I'll use a crow call. Try not to spook them. Pick days that are cool and light winds. Great time of the year to be out there and gets you pschyed up

Great bear Matt. I hunt across the road from you. Bears have been showing up on trail cams the last few years and we've seen them up close and personal. I got a great video on my cell phone to show you from last year. It was 13 yds. It's great seeing them in the woods. Two weeks ago my brother was in his ground blind and a big bear came by him at 15 yds. Eye to eye. He said his heart was pounding. May have been your bear. I gave him a can of wasp and hornet spray to put in his blind. Anyways gratz on your trophy.

I thought the captians bought donuts for the observers

I believe the Ontario biologist will be looking at and counting the pyloric caeca at the end of the stomach. During the early days of the ESLO derby the grand prize was limited to chinook salmon. A hybrid coho chinook was caught and was a possible winning fish. They brought the fish in to DEC where I was working. DEC did not want to get involved in a private contest but we did let them use our reference books to let them make a determination. I can't remember numbers but chinooks have a high number of pyloric caeca and cohos have much fewer number. The fish had a number about midway between and they determined it to be a hybrid. With that said both that fish and the one recently caught are true monsters. you never know what you're going to catch in Lake Ontario.

Man thinks he is in control but forgets mother nature bats last

Is that Roland Martin at the wheel?

Lake Ontario water levels usually peak around Memorial Day then drops. Look at JD post chart. Aug and Sept water levels are lower than levels this time of year. LO trib water volumes have little effect on lake levels. LO water levels are primarily controlled by the locks on the St Lawrence. After the last few years super high water you have no chance to slow the water releases, Bottom line late summer will be worse
