Last I checked Marshall ii says the crown has the right to regulate the fisheries, yet we have feathered locusts destroying every natural resource they can get their hands on in the name of a quick buck. 50 dollars will buy a five gallon bucket of lobster tonight in Yarmouth. Lobster that was...

Don’t be so quick to write of eastern canada Newfoundland is a sportsman’s paradise, brooks full of trout and salmon boreal forests home to moose bear and caribou. All protected by a people world renowned for their hospitality and appreciation for the little things life has to offer. Nova...

Sounds like I’ll be able to get a good deal on a spring bear hunt if that comes to pass, seriously though all that is going to hurt is New Brunswick outfitters. As for the natives they’ve been allowed to run unchecked for years and they are very good at destroying everything they come in...

It might of belonged to him at one point but not anymore I picked it up off gunpost this spring from someone in ontario. Edit: after having coffee I realized you were talking about the rifle in @Sarg posts not the one I posted.

Just an update sighted Ivan in with 180 grain federal tonight, under 2 inch groups at 50 yards in a 15 or so mph head wind I was impressed with the rifle. Probably going to be what I carry this fall after bear and whitetail. For those good with ballistic calculations a 308 shooting 180 grain...

That is what friends and neighbours do for one another in times of tragedy. Hopefully we can get back to treating each other like friends and neighbours when the current crop of leadership on both sides of the border is gone.

It’s a toss up , you all get California and n.y.c we’ve got Vancouver and Quebec.

Very accurate

Seems like a new Quebec law violates Canadas freedom of expression laws.

Makes more sense in that context the way it was reported on the radio made it seem as though he specifically wasn’t allowed to give a speech.

Can someone explain why trump was stopped from making a speech at the world trade centre memorial? Caught a little bit about it on the radio today hauling deer apples, sounds like he had to make a speech at the pentagon instead?. I don’t particularly care for the man and I hardly find him...

Mine aren’t crab apples my trees were planted and grafted before my time, mostly Macintosh’s and gravenstiens with a few russets mixed in. Two far north here for citrus to grow, can you ferment citrus or is it to acidic for the yeast to bloom in?

I use inkbirds but it takes two to make it work. they are roughly 50 dollars a piece off Amazon. A/c unit plugs into one ink bird with the temperature probe inserted gently between the fins of the condenser. Set this ink bird to 0.5c when the condenser begins to ice up this controller cuts...

Did six litre jars this morning and messed around with making a candle while it rendered. Hemp twine a washer an a carnation milk can, smells like bacon when it’s burning though. Rest of the lard goes to my buddy to make bird seed blocks out off.

Anyone ever notice how intertwined pork an apples are ? Wife an I spent today jarring apple sauce and rendering lard. Pigs around here are traditionally finished with apples to give the meat a sweet flavour. Pork chops locally are served with applesauce as a condiment. It takes lard to make pie...

When making corned beef or deer meat and also when making salt fish we salt the water until a potato floats so a raw egg floating on wine mash isn’t out of the question for an old time home gauge. I forage a fair bit of my one food the wife and I just finished canning 25 jars of apple sauce...

The ones it will hurt the most on both sides are the smaller to mid sized distilleries

One that is going to hurt members of this community are the bans trump recently placed on importing raw hides and skins from Canada. American hunters will not be able to return with their hides for mounting this fall if that ban stands.

I’m not a fan of trump by any means but this one is a justified reaction. Alcohol sales in Canada are provincially regulated so for example in Nova Scotia where I live the only legal supplier of alcohol is the provincial liquor stores giving them a monopoly. Most Canadian provinces pulled...

Must of took a lot of napa wine to get that many politicians that drunk…

Uncle grew three or four acres of strawberries every year we always had some set back for family use. Any more than that and we’ll have to switch to pm.

With very few exceptions my door (and bar) are open to all of the AH brethren

It’s the Sunday morning after hog killing and I’m in a reflective mood and a touch hung over if I’m being honest. Sunday mornings around home here after a hog killing father had a special recipe he liked to cook up and I thought I’d share it with you gentleman. Fathers killer hash...

World of difference here the last year father and I run a herd before his health go too bad I baled 350 4x5s for 20 cow/calve pairs a bull and a replacement bull and run short a truck load.

I’ve started to type a couple responses and deleted them , I’m just going to say I disagree with your sense of humour on the subject and leave it at that.

I offered to pay for my sisters oldest to go to a local Christian school after finding out his first grade teacher was a transvestite who encouraged students to call him mom. She was unable to switch his schools due to a family court ruling.

Race bait much?

I’ve got two sets of tackles in the back of my barn and a 110v reciprocating saw wired in between them. Just reach up and grab the saw for which ever side you need it. I did just enough of them by hand as a kid to know there must be a better way.

I assumed everyone knew that one bud we’ve been doing that for years here. When I was a little fella old man would split every down with a double bit and a meat saw.

How long do you guys have to feed hay a year? Father and I used to plan on 200 square bales per cow/calf pair. Our cattle calved in the barn end of February first of march.

I do yes and a heavy duty electric grinder , those pigs were split down with a reciprocating saw though if that is what you are referring to.

Sort of makes you wonder if she really wants to check out or just wants the name recognition the court case will bring.

I’m blessed to live in a small village (8 houses) where all of my neighbors are either family or multiple generations of neighbors that are treated like family. I was raised by this village and I’m the only younger person that came out of it that stuck around my neighbours are elderly. I’m very...

The land is literally worth more to me than the house and the acre or so I’m going to cut off and leave with the property, so to answer your question @Aaron N the potential buyers will probably be an older couple who want a place with an ocean view to spend their golden years for the cost of a...

I’m planning on doing somthing similar with a property adjacent to mine. It belongs to to elderly brothers neither of which live in the house. It was their parents place and they inherited it. They are thinking of selling but the bank will not give anyone a mortgage on it as it has a stacked...

On the east coast we affectionately call it on-terrible

Nope just a dummy In the stern

The flip side of that is I only work 60-100 days a year for the boat and the rest of the time is mine to do with as I please. I can sit hear and enjoy this view and this fire with the wife sipping rye on a Tuesday and not have to answer to a boss tomorrow if I get up an hour late. Everything...

My deer stand is basically the same only on 6 foot stilts, carpeted and propane heated the only roughing it is the coffee in the blind is instant.

Our moose has never been open to non residents and is closed completely now, the government seen fit to let the natives police their own hunt so they drove around in half tons with high seats mounted in the beds decimating the population until it was closed. That’s the sum total of their...

If you’d of turned off at that e If you’d of taken that exit and turned towards annopolis instead of keji you’d of come to the quaintest little country story/butcher shop/feed store/distilery/gas station/ gun store in the province. Above pictures sourced off google

14-15 lbs we caught some monsters when we first went off on the banks used to be a normal lobster out there was 4-5 pounds. Lobstering ain’t much for stories it’s 30-40 days of grinding sleep deprivation abusing caffeine and tylonal and braving the North Atlantic in December. We’ve got...

Lobster

Kej-E-ma-coe-ja-ick we just mostly call it Kej-e it’s not a town it’s a provincial park and wildlife refuge area. It’s a Mi’kmaq word meaning little people or fairy people originally the lake was called fairy lake. @C.W. Richter

I’m a maritimer , south western Nova Scotia. No we’re not off grid just pretty self sufficient.

It’s a little different way of life here when we go to sea in late November we’ll hardly be home again until Christmas. Whatever isn’t done the wives have to do without or do themselves so we tend to over prep things.

My wife tells me I’m a “prepper” I prefer the term hillwilliam myself ( hillwilliam noun similar to a hillbilly only better educated and with more teeth ) With that being said I do split my time during most of the months I’m not commercially fishing between logging and preparing for the...
