bonsoir scorpionbowl !!!
last time i saw a moose in the water...the year we built the camp...back in 08....friend offered me his cabin at the lake for the summer to spend time in the woods...it was in september ...
he came in the yard ....while i was having a coffee before going to work on my camp...jumped in the lake and landed in the yard of the neighbor...
there s big swamps in front of my camp....been there only 1x ,back in june....many little lakes there with stuff for moose to eat ...
i don t spend time waiting for moose....i have no patience...and while im waiting ...im not riding....but good spot to see a few ....
the problem ....they can hear you coming from far away ...i walked so much in those swamps back in the 90's...i slowed down tons
tons of deer and black flies ...

bonsoir zeusand !!!
here s a bit of history about that .......20 years ago maybe....saw a documentary about that talking about people living a round st jean de cherbourg...st paulin ...st nil ...etc.... matane area...
happened in many other villages...some people were so mad....instead of moving their houses into bigger town....just put the fire to their houses !!!..
In September 1970, 19 priests from the Bas-Saint-Laurent and the Gaspé regions launched the Manifeste des curés anger and three of them founded Operations Dignity. These operations become a real battle for the survival of rural Quebec.
In 1970, Quebec and Ottawa decided to close 81 villages in eastern Quebec, according to the Relocation Plan of the Eastern Quebec Planning Bureau (BAEQ). The governments' objective is to lift the region out of its state of poverty. They also advocate better training of the workforce and the modernization of fisheries and forestry.
The plan to close the villages and the relocation of tens of thousands of people raised the population's discontent. Ten villages will finally be razed.
I also saw the burned houses, the shaved floors and people there dismayed to see disappear what they had built with their hands since the 1930s.
Gilles Roy, founder of Operation Dignity 3
People leave everything behind. They received $ 8,000 for their property and moved to low-rental housing in Rimouski, Matane or Sainte-Anne-des-Monts.
Among the first localities to close, there is Sainte-Paule, in the MRC de Matane. Resistance begins to organize. The parish priest, Charles Banville, is a rebel with a very hung tongue: “The fact that the little people had no voice, I was asked to take the lead in the movement. I woke up one morning, I was at the head of 21 parishes. I had no right to refuse. "
On September 22, 1970, it was the birth of the first Operation Dignity, in the church of Sainte-Paule in front of 3,000 people. The second operation will be launched a year later, in Esprit-Saint, in the hinterland of Rimouski, in front of 6,000 people. Operation Dignity 3 was born in Les Méchins in 1972. A real popular movement was set in motion.
Director Jean-Claude Labrecque launched the film Les Smattes in 1972, which tells the story of two men from Saint-Paulin facing the closure of the village. The Théâtre des Gens-d'En-Bas, for its part, presents collective creations such as We are gone to stay.
And one day it happened / They said: "You are underdeveloped" / We fell again
