My hat goes off to all turkey enthusiasts in the Ottawa region. May your beards be double or triple and your spurs curved and long!
TESTING, TESTING The Danner Ridgemaster GTX
hunting boots I field-tested last fall are exactly what I expected from a product handmade in the USA.
The Ridgemasters are form-fitting and snug around the ankles, feature 1000 Denier nylon upper and 100% waterproof Gore-Tex. With a cushioning foot bed, open cell construction for air circulation, and what Danner refers to as the Terra Force platform, they were perhaps the most luxurious hunting boots I’ve tried yet. The new Danner Ridgemasters
offered great support on a variety of terrain during my pre-season
scouting and trail-cam set-up last fall, and were broken in big time during the deer season. At a scant 55 ounces per pair, the new Danners have succeeded in constructing a quality lightweight hunting boot without compromising on comfort. I also really enjoy the speed-lace fastening system for quick and secure fit. For more information, check out Danner online:

BIG BUCK DAY For all the trophy hunters out
there, the 19th Annual Big Buck Day is taking place this year on Sunday, April 13 at the Community Centre in Little Britain, near Lindsay, Ont. This event is one of the most
popular big buck days in Ontario, attracting copious hunters and antler aficionados to the quaint little town. Ontario-harvested deer and moose
will be officially scored onsite by members of the Foundation for Recognition of Ontario Wildlife (FROW). Trophies are awarded for the largest typical and non-typical whitetail and for the largest moose. Sheds and found racks can also be scored but are not eligible for prizes. The event, sponsored by the South Central Ontario Fish and Wildlife Association, is a must-do for all trophy fanatics. Until next time, enjoy all that
springtime the great outdoors has to offer!
