Seasons Greetings from Southern Ontario Outdoors

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all my hunting friends. Thanks to all who are following this blog; your comments and suggestions will help me provide you with even better items throughout 2009

I had been planning to head to the bush this morning for what may well be my last chance to hunt deer in Southern Ontario before the bow season ends. Alas, Mother Nature often has the last word on venturing out this time of year, and as the snow continues to pile up outside my door hopes are fading fast.

It’s been a strange combination of below seasonal temperatures, above seasonal temperatures and lots of snow this fall and it has me just as confused as it does the birds and animals. Oh well, I’m not packing up yet. My bow and backpack are ready to throw in the back of the car at a moments notice.

Southern Ontario deer hunters; mark your 2009 calendars right now to remind you that the antlerless deer draw closes on June 30 this year. That’s a full month earlier than normal and I’m sure it will take some hunters by surprise.

I hope everyone is in a festive mood and getting ready to chow down on some of that wonderful wild game that has accumulated over the past couple of months. Within the next month I will have added a large interactive database to http://www.sooutdoors.ca/ that will make it very easy for you to zoom in on specific destination and hunting related information.

“Peace on earth; good will toward men.”
