Thank you to all who visited and supported Wild Goose Lake Resort in 2011. We saw a lot of growth with six new full service RV lots in the upper campground, two serviced lots on the hilltop and new guests. In the fall, cottage 5 was destroyed in a wind storm and we appriciated the understanding from guests we relocated to other cottages while rebuilding. Special thanks to Stephane Parent and his crew from Got Wood (Geraldton) who worked many hours overtime to rebuild the cottage in a short time frame. The last few groups of rifle moose hunters were able to enjoy the newly designed cottage. Painting and interior decorating will be a 2012 spring project.
2011 Black bear hunting was an interesting experience for most hunters. Multiple bears were seen at a bait but the majority were smaller bears at the baits first. The bigger bears watched from the background and many hunters passed up a shot for a chance at a bigger bear. Hunters encountered wolves, rabbits, grouse, and other critters, but overall a successful bear hunt was had by our hunters.
Archery moose hunters found tempatures to warm in the afternoons, but morning and evening hunts were full of excitment. First week of rifle moose brought success for many groups but at one time there were seven moose hanging in the walk-in cooler and one in the freezer. That old cooler was saving grace with the warmer than normal tempatures.
2012 brings some change for MNR Outdoor Cards and Licences. Purchase and renewal can be done on-line at ontario.ca/outdoorscard, by telephone 1-800-288-1155, or at the Resort when you arrive. With the use of a new machine there will be no more multiple papers to carry around, but the convenience of a plastic Outdoors card. Opening season for Walleye is May 19, 2012. Book your cottage early to avoid disappointment.
Thank you for your continued support. All the best in 2012!
Your hosts
Greg & Jacquie
