All the best! Hope to read a long description about a hunt that ends with a bruiser!

Have you ever run into Dick Gibb up around Burks Falls?  He live there full time. Has a couple horses. He stopped in at the ranch one time and ended up staying for round up and came back for a few years to help.

Terry, Hope your whitetail hunt is as successful as your Black bear hunt was. Are you going with the same group? Take a few pictures of the beautiful Burks Falls countryside. Good luck

Danno,

There are (4) of us that go on every hunt and then a few others that just come either deer hunting, bear hunting or moose hunting

As predicted it rained pretty much the entire time we were at camp. We got to Burks Falls Saturday around 4:00 pm so we settled into the cabin for the rest of the day. Got up Sunday early ( to a beautiful day) and checked tree stands, trail cams and set up a tree stand for a new member.

Sunday night the rain started and did not quit. We could only manage about 6 hrs of hunting the four days we were in camp :( Three of the eight members left on Tuesday due to the forecast. The rest of us road it out with hopes of the rain stopping but no luck. Good sign of rut activity but we couldn't spend enough time in the bush so no deer.

I was lucky enough to find an open spot at my old camp on Manitoulin Island so heading there for another week of whitetail hunting Nov 16th to 23rd, sure hope we have better weather on the Island
