22nd November 2008

Snow on the ground and still coming down at noon.  Our last group of hunters left this morning, they had seen a number of deer including some bucks and knew of a number of bucks taken in the area, they also saw a very large moose, quite content and booked again for 2009.  Being men they mistook the swifter sheets for coffee filters but stated the coffee turned out exceptional.

 

The cottage was left very clean and tidy, thanks Paul A, we much appreciated it.

 

We are now closed for the winter season and have already started the bathroom renovations and will be in full swing come spring.  We will be keeping our rates the same in 2009.

 

Our bookings were up from previous years in 2008 and we had a great group of clients, looking forward to seeing you again in 2009 and invite them to drop in for a coffee is passing our way.

We currently have our last hunting group in until the end of the season.  They watched a buck swim the river and come up in the field below our cottage this morning.  They have also seen deer along the road close to the cottage which was verified by the  fresh overnight deer tracks, also fresh tracks indicate our resident moose remains in the area.  As I mentioned previously the spike horn has been taken.

 

I saw a salmon jump close to the shore this afternoon.  The blue jays and Canada jays (Moose Birds, Gorbeys) are busy storing for the winter.

 

We have had a lot of queries for late December early January but had made up our minds to close for renovations at the end of hunting season.  Installing a new shower stall and doing some painting with expectations of opening again in March.  2009 is already booking up with a good portion of hunting season taken, so if you want to confirm dates we recommend you do it soon.

Well our first group in got to watch a moose cross the river below the cottage and a moose and calf on the opposite shore.  The group currently in walked out on the deck their first night, a doe and spike horn were standing on the lawn in front of the cottage, nice safe haven for them as long as they stay in close to the cottage.  The current group of hunters informed me they just use the word “hunting” as an excuse to get together and would have to think seriously before actually shooting a deer J  They are a little disappointed that the heavy rain yesterday cleaned the mud off their shiny new trucks and now even the trucks don’t look like they were used for hunting L

 

Due to a cancellation, we currently have an opening for Nov. 10^th-15^th inclusive.
