Steve Hanes' Hunting & Fishing Page

	November 2003. Steve & brother Ron hunted together again this year, and Steve got this little 8-point buck Wednesday morning. It weighed in at 151 lbs (field dressed) on the scales at Kauffeldt's Grocery in Quadeville. That works out to 190 lbs live weight.
	Ron poses with the deer he dragged out of the bush (Steve's deer).
	Ron's baiting method seems to work well! Too bad he's napping!
	Steve's bandmate Billy with the 10 point / 280 lb buck he and friend Ron shot the fall of 2003. We checked out the Boone and Crockett Website to see what they said about scoring the rack, and it turns out that they have an online scoring calculator. We measured the rack and came up with 143 7/8 - too small to qualify. So we found the The Foundation for the Recognition of Ontario Wildlife, who keep records for deer in Ontario. Bill & Ron's qualifies for the record book (minimum 140 points!). They scored the rack at 143 2/8.
	Holy crap! They made Deer Slayer Magazine! Photo by Doug Fox. The two smiling hunters. Bill Lansdell & Ron Campbell. Photo by Doug Fox.
	Just before Billy shot the deer. Photo by someone sneaking up on Billy.
	Left: Steve's wife Sylvie shows off her rack October 2003. Up to this point she DID have the biggest rack in the camp... and over $6000.00 damage to the Sunfire.... Not a fan of the 'drive' method anymore.
	They all swore it looked like an 8 pointer as it bounced off the hood, but see above. It's missing one brow tine. Never had 2. Actually, the swearing started AFTER they all piled out of the car... Then the real swearing started when I gutted it half an hour later. 22 degrees in October, all busted up inside - saved it though.
	Zibby (Jack's brother) met the bear...and the bear lost. September 4, 2004.
	Steve's 34 lb muskie. May 31, 2001. Rideau River at Bronson Avenue in Ottawa, fishing with brother Ron. Check it out for yourself at this Muskie Weight Computer! More photos.
	I'm always harping on the guys to get their priorities straight. Looks like this lad has it down just fine!
	3 birds, 1 woodcock, October 2004.
	Bela (Jack's dog) is curious...she sees so few partridge....
	Limit of birds, October 2005.
	Another limit of birds, October 2005.
	My first trail cam photo. Great! A surprised stand thief.......? Oh, it's me......nevermind.
	My first deer in 1978. Brother Ron on the left. Ya....I hear ya about the hats..... This was before blaze orange and doe tags, and, apparently, fashion sense... Uh..., I still have the hat, shirt and vest, just in case...
	Where should I hunt today...? The view from the top of Jameson's Mountain, Griffith Township. October 2005
	Maybe over there....The Madawaska River is on the left.
	Night ride.....out of the swamp ditch.
	That's why it's called an 'off-road vehicle' right?
	Aumonds Bay on the Madawaska River, September 2004.
	If you happen to be a fan of Humanclock.com, you might see me around, oh say,....4:10 pee em.........oh gawd...... Actually, we (me & wife) are all over that site...1:11, 3:14 (daughter Lisa -- see it to get the joke...?), 3:55, 4:10, 4:17, 4:23, 4:33, 5:02, 5:40, 7:15, 9:11.
	Walleye (first one for me) out of Bob's Lake Feb 2005.
	Billy checks the depth out on the ice of Bob's Lake. The GPS showed us that we were exactly at coordinates.......damn, .....batteries died.....
	Fishing off the dock at the cottage/hunt camp on Cameron Lake.
	I should'a put down something for scale reference al la C.S.I.
	Ya, it's a moose, or rather, the tracks show right where he passed by, 20 feet to the side of my garage at the cottage. Go figure. October 2004.
	December 2000. Building a quinzee for an overnighter in the bush. Well within radio contact with the beer fridge though.
	Daughter Lisa checks out the luxurious accomodations.
	I do hunt rabbits, but this was the only photo of a bunny I could find...
	Aspen Scaberstalk (Leccinum insigne). There are a few left around my place, mostly out in the 'backyard.'
	Shaggy Manes (Coprinus comatus). A mild, nutty flavour, since you asked.
	Chanterelles (Chanterellus cibarius). Choice.
	A man. A gun. *A lifestyle.* Did you spot the Moose? How could you miss it? If you need help click here to enlarge the moose.
	You couldn't miss this coming at you in the bush.
	You couldn't miss this coming at you in the bush either. Psst...it's not loaded...
	And we clean up real purdy too.
	Jack (Kaliber) with his son Matt with some of those flighty things they like to shoot, clean, clean, clean some more...............and eventually eat. October 2005.
	Steve. October 13, 2005. Twin Buck Fawns.
	Deer Ron, Deer Steve.
	November 2008. Steve & brother Ron hunted together again this year, and Ron got this small doe Wednesday morning. After 25 years of hunting and seeing deer in the bush, he finally got the monkey off his back and shot one...! Congrats...!
