To the Expositor: I live and make a living on Manitowaning. All my life I have found you must wear many hats and have diverse businesses. As a young boy, I gathered worms and frogs and sold them to fishermen and so paid for a few things a boy might want. I sold these with a sign at the road. Later, as a teenager, I sold eggs, worms and pumpkins with a sign at the road. As an adult, I sold eggs, pumpkins, sw ...

HIGHWAY 6—Last month, South Baymouth resident Larry Killens alerted The Expositor to strange happening on the newly-paved stretch of Highway 6 north of South Baymouth. Pictures show small holes and spots of rust forming on the roadway. Some areas look as though the highway had been shot repeatedly with a gun. According to Gordan Rennie, regional issues and media advisor with the Ministry of Transportation ( ...

Anecdotally, it seems that virtually every hunter participating in last week’s gun hunt on Manitoulin Island saw any number of does (or antlerless deer, at any rate) but had only received tags for buck deer in the MNR’s lottery. Given the number of animals visible on or along roadsides over most of Manitoulin Island, it would seem prudent that the MNR should either abolish gender-based deer tags for a few y ...

To the Expositor: This letter is in response to one written by Annette Pearson regarding the two dogs at M’Chigeeng (‘Animals deserve to be treated with humanity,’ November 21, page 4). First of all, thank you so much for bringing this to the attention of those who possibly aren’t aware of the situation. Your letter was right on and very well put. I too am an animal lover, multi-pet owner and supporter of t ...

To the Expositor: The Saturday and Sunday before the deer hunt, we got to our camp on MacLean’s Mountain to set up and on Sunday we put four tree cams out—one at my stand and another about 50 feet facing other way. My partner put one at his back stand and another at a different stand. We hunted Monday until dark and walked back to our camp, about 800 feet, on Tuesday morning, watching the birds on the groun ...

COCKBURN ISLAND—It appears the success rate for those hunters harvesting deer on Cockburn Island during this year’s hunt is down from previous years. “The success rate was down,” said Peter Koskela, a conservation officer (CO) with the Ministry of Natural Resources (MNR), who was on patrol for the first week of the hunt (which took place over two weeks, November 5-17). He commented that this year’s hunt on ...
