"I've come to Canada about a dozen times over the last 20 years and have not experienced the kind of fishing my group has had at MJ's camps.

Sept 22-29th, 2007: We are here for the first time, Moose Hunting (Bow) Sun 23-Saw a back end of a bear on the Chukuni River Road. Mon 24-Saw the front end of a bear Canoeing Dixie Creek , from Tote Road. Hear wolves howling, walking a trail off the hwy south of Camp. Tues 25-Canoeing, came across a Bull Moose (No tag) which ran over to a cow and calf. Kevin had a shot at guessed 50 yards which ranged later to 55, shot at the calf and missed low. Wed 26- Birds in the freezer Thurs 27-Found a bedding area, called for the fun of it. Bull Moose came in grunting and crashing all the way. Kevin had a quick broadside look at 35 yards (no tag) and the moose came in to 23 yards before stopping. then spooking. Quite the thrill. Limit of birds today!

Just to say Halley's Outpost is the best. Good food, good people, great fishing. Looking foward to trophy smallmouth on Rex lake this fall. Both Moosehorn and Dowswell produced good pike and smallmouth last two years. Good Fishing
