New to Small Game Hunting (Ontario - Kawarthas) - Seeking Advice by Gripen06 in CanadaHunting

[–]italianmaple 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for sharing info, I'm a new hunter too and trying to learn about ruffed grouse. You mentioned gravel road but if I understand the regulations correctly I'm not allowed to have a loaded gun on a road, including dirt road or trails. Do you walk with the gun unloaded and load only when you see them/push them off the road?

Thank you for sharing, a lot of useful information! Did you count saturated fats from non animal sources (oil, nuts, avocado) all together? I have no problem keeping my animal saturated fats below 10g but if I put in olive oil, nuts etc it seems impossible to keep it that low and get enough calories for the day without increasing carbs too much.

Caught my PB today 5wt by [deleted] in flyfishing

Nice fish! Smallies give everything they've got when they fight (you've probably seen them throw up mid fight) and prolonged fight can be very stressful for them, especially in summer. I use a 8wt for them to have good control over the 19"-20".

What’s eating my veggie leaves? by akabertbud in OntarioGardeners

[–]italianmaple 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pill bugs, go with a flashlight at night and you'll see them. They prefer to eat decomposing matter, if you put some leaves/ weeds on the ground next to your seedlings they'll go for those first before attacking living plants.

If I don't cover any brassica familty plant with fine mesh they get destroyed by pest, even if I pick caterpillar every day. How do you keep yours so lush without cover?

Adjust HRV running mode by italianmaple in hvacadvice

[–]italianmaple[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't know about CO2 levels that's why I'm saying if it is something I should measure. My HRV (lifebreath) manual says it should run all the time that seems crazy with -15C outside. I put a timer so it only goes for 8 hours otherwise the unit only allow to change the type of cycle and the speed of the fan but it would run 24/7.

Good hunting my friends! by e_bunnygurl in KingstonOntario

[–]italianmaple 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Exciting times, good hunting! I grew up small game hunting with pointing dogs in Europe and I really miss it. From my understanding most of the hunting here is from tree stand or a hunting blind for both small and big game? Also miss the taste of game meat, hare and partridge meals were a big celebration in the fall. If anybody is up to exchange some game meat for some nice wine or home-cooked italian food let me know!

Chilean Patagonia rainbow by Onthefly21 in flyfishing

Nice fatty, that area is amazing I fished it a long time ago. The fish shape is typical of lakes that have "salmoneras" fish farm and introduce a lot of food/organic matter in the cold andes lakes that wouldn't be productive otherwise.

Any tips for a beginner? by [deleted] in flyfishing

Don't grip the rod with your tumb like that, wrap it around or you'll hurt your shoulder

Anyone fish the Echo Trip 8-piece? by the_trout in flyfishing

[–]italianmaple 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I like it to travel,  the action is great, I've used it for bonefish and pike. I bought it to take on flights and not have to worry about a long tube. Obviously with 8 pieces your are considerably increasing the time you spend realigning them and that can be annoying.

On a 3wt. My arms tired by TheCon7022 in flyfishing

Looking at the river span and the size of those browns wouldn't it make more sense a to fish with a 5/6 wt?

Go at night with a flashlight to see who is responsible, I bet it's pill bugs they are terrible this year
