smclelan Posted July 9, 2018 Report Share Posted July 9, 2018 I am sure the private woodlot owners are having trouble finding a harvesting contractor that has not got lots of wood ahead to cut. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shore1066 Posted July 15, 2018 Report Share Posted July 15, 2018 Hello JG Hot here too. No rain in a week here. Question, will them little bulls be shot or harvested this fall or will the hunters let them walk? They are kinda cute right now and don't seem to mind getting their picture taken LOL. I like the cat picture too. Do they get trapped or are they protected. Have a good summer. George Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shore1066 Posted July 16, 2018 Report Share Posted July 16, 2018 That's too bad about hunting the young moose. The problem I see is with logging roads and windmill roads the hunters can get to areas that weren't acceptable years ago. I use to go north of the gouin area by fly in planes. The only way to the lakes. Now with a GPS you can drive the logging roads. Long drive but I believe people do it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
