Opening day of gun season for deer (shotgun and muzzleloader only in my zone) and it was 21Β° celsius and I spent the evening swatting mosquitoes in my blind!! πŸ˜‚ No deer movement at all. Very quiet. But I'm not going to lie this still beats snow!! It will be winter soon enough🦌

There was a time when your parents were young, your grandparents were still here, and everyone you loved seemed like they'd be around forever. You didn't know it then, but those were some of the richest years of your life.

Beautiful afternoon/evening on the farm. Hunted my favorite field & saw 26 turkeys & many were mom's with babies which was nice to see. Discovered turquoise elf cup today which was all new to me. Beautiful fungus! Great day!

Opening day of deer season & turkey is today & it's windy w/ rain. I decided to head out anyway and the closer I got to the farm the harder it was raining so I decided it's a long season & I still have 3 months to hunt so turned around and came home!! Try again tomorrow!! πŸ¦ŒπŸ¦ƒπŸ»

Blind #1 is up! Been hunting this farm for about 22 years and this location has never changed. I've seen more animals here than any other location on this farm. Very quiet and relaxing back under the cedars. Deer & turkey season opens Oct.1. Bear season is already open! πŸ»πŸ¦ƒπŸ¦Œ

Been a long time since I have had a bottled beer and it was the first time I have seen bottles of Dos Equis here in many many years! Bottled beer is still as good as I remember it! 🍻🍺

My wife is away visiting her parents. My oldest son is away at his girlfriend's. My youngest son just went to a restaurant opening. So what better way to spend the evening than watching some CFL football outside in the backyard with a few drinks and a fire later!! @CFLonTSN

Sometimes you just have to be in the right place at the right time! These shots taken Tuesday night from the outdoor pool & patio bar at the Delta in Fredericton, NB. Absolutely perfect ending to our trip! @mynewbrunswick @tomcnicholls @DeltaFRE 🍻

Captured a couple of pictures today of a loon feeding her baby. They stayed around our boat for close to 90 min's. Mom & Dad dove and fed the 2 youngsters non-stop and it was very enjoyable. At one point 1 of the loons swam over to about 8 ft from the boat. Great day on the lake!

1 hr in the smoker in applewood and now in to the Crock-Pot for 3 - 4 hrs. Beautiful day for smoking some pork ribs and doing some chores around the house & some yard work! 🀀🍻

Absolutely beautiful day for a walk at the farm. It was a tad warm (35 celsius, 95 fahrenheit) but so good for the mind & body. The fresh air, the smells, the songbirds make it all worth dealing with the heat. This farm is a special place. Literally blessed to have access to it!

Folks, sometimes we all just have to slow down & recognize that life is pretty damn good! Block out the news & all of the outside noise & just enjoy the simple things in life! Tonight I am sitting here by the fire with a beer & realizing that I am a very lucky dad & husband! 🍻

Beautiful day on the lake. Water was really high & stained from all the heavy rain we have had lately but it was a tough day all around. Could not even find a few hammer handle pike for my son's friend who has never seen nor caught a pike and I tried every trick in the book πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈπŸŽ£

Something that is not done often enough is simply going out for a beer with a buddy. Nothing fancy. Just a cold beer & talking fishing & sports.

Awesome day on the water with @JamiePistilli of @OttFlyfishing sight fishing for gar with my son! We both landed our first gar, lost several others & we saw over 50 with some true monsters. Trip of a lifetime for my son which is all that matters to me! Jamie is a helluva guide🎣

Current situation, chasing ghosts. πŸ‘» The long cold winter we had with so much snow + an abundance of coyotes has really hit the turkey population hard. This is by far the latest I have ever hunted turkeys in the spring without filling a tag. This may be my last hunt! πŸ¦ƒ πŸ¦ƒ
