I think non-resident tags for Ontario are about $170 Canadian. It's a buck-only tag too.

Ah yes, I remember the chocolate buck now. For some reason I wasn't clueing into it. Thanks.

The porch light is on and I can still see them out there. I had a 4 pt buck on my lawn a few times this fall. He was pretty small. I just took another look at one now through binos from 15' away and I'm pretty sure he's the guy whose antlers are already off.

The deer are gonna be out there playing "Nicky nicky nine-doors" just to mess with me.

If my doorbell rings, I know who it is.

Yep. Some do.

WOW What a rack on that bad boy. I hope all goes well for next season. I would think that it would be very important to start scouting at least a few months ahead of opening day next season as you know his travels and habits can quickly change with the changing seasons. You will be like a child waiting for Christmas...it wont get here soon enough. Great pictures and the best of luck.

Thats the way we used to hunt in the late sixties and seventies except for green plaid shirt and a vest with your hunting licence in a clear plastic pocket. I found some my old small game and migratoy bird licences the other day.

Regarding the Chocolate Buck, the dark area on Chocolate's chest is mud and I am not confident he is so dark as to more than a few shades deeper than the usual brown color. Thus his name. He was taken in the Newmarket area after hunting and scouting him every weekend for a year and a half. I had seen him only once for about 3 second and that started the year and a half hunt for him. I hunted alone and excusively for him. I actually went 23 days with out seeing another deer or him. I was hunting deep forest with very tight cover. I took him on Nov. 13 and he was full of fire and roaming hard for a hot doe. I had lightly scented the area with my own mix of scent and finished off with a good couple blasts on a lone golden rod. Only the white fluff remained and acted like a sponge for the scent. He came in fast and locked up at the golden rod, which was also my 30 yard marker and the limit to a shot I will take. He was nearly broadside but slightly quatering toward me. I zip a mechanical (Spitfire) through him taking out both lungs and cutting the main blood vessel to his heart. The arrow must have struck a rib and angled slightly forward as it loged in his far shoulder. He freaking tore out of there covering 168 yards before piling up. I had suffered a great deal for this buck. The commitment in time and exclusive focus may have been a little nuts. Dec and Nov. cold rain or snow and sacrificing weekends in all the months made this a hard earned trophy and he does reside above my firepalce mantel.

This statement is what sold me .... because although you read lots of stories about guys bumping into a nice buck one year ( usually during the rut when they are rut drunk chasing does ) .... guys that harvest nice bucks year after year are usually the guys that put their time in !!

BTW .... many times I hunt in my street clothes .... I get off work in a hurry ... just enough time to get to an evening stand , so I pull my camo coveralls over my street clothes ..... what is so strange about that ?

My $0.02
