I am sure the private woodlot owners are having trouble finding a harvesting contractor that has not got lots of wood ahead to cut. 

 

you wake up late in nova scotia.....posted 51 mins ago .....ahahhaha

best time to find a harvester ....late march....april or may ...after that guys are busy working on crown lands !!!

stopped at the grocery ....met a friend working for the duniere reserve....he said at the '' 66 '' on logging road....there was still a snow drift on june 14 !!!....even a bit snow left on june 24 th !!!

rough monday....tons of deer flies!!!....32 c

lots of smoke here..forest fire !!!

almost forgot...boss came to visit this morning ...before he was working for the '' societé d exploitation de la vallée ' in lac saumon ...back in the 80's..

he said back then ...there was 110 guys to plant 2-3 millions trees....now only 8 guys...i don t think they plant as much ....and only 4 guys working with chainsaws....time change...

pic of mt albert taken july 2 !!!

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.

bonjour george !!!

 

good chances they won t be there after moose hunting ....moose hunting is the national sport here...lots of hunters on the z e c !!! fishing is already kaputt since 2 weeks..

on the  z e c they do a draw for females...they allow 200 permits if memory still good.......no luck for my friends this year...

you need 3 permits for 1 moose !!!

i like july to take pics...the lynx...last night while having rouge....just too bad ...i missed by a few seconds..i guess he was closer to camp...i was looking toward the brook !!

light rain..did nt even put my shoes...went outside to get closer as possible !!!

he sat for a few seconds..but when he saw me....byyyye !!!

not 100 % sure...but i think you can trap them ...

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.

good morning !!!

 

with gps and google earth ....can find lots of roads...even old ones....some here clean them for moose hunting ..

just next to my camp...there s an old portage trail for lumberjacks back in the 50' and 60's...

remember when i was young walking that trail with dad....still remember there was an old wagon for horses kaputt along the trail !!!
