A BOOK REVIEWER? By Ralph Bice From May 4, 1977 I may get into an argument or two over this column but since I am in some sort of trouble most of the time more will not matter much. Recently I was sent a copy of the latest Pictorial History of Algonquin Park. Many of […]
QUEEN VICTORIA DAY by Ralph Bice From May 25, 1977 I have seen a great many springs and enjoyed just as many Victoria Day holidays. As we all know, May 24th was the birthday of the great Queen Victoria and that date has been a holiday for many years. Queen Victoria was the monarch of […]
JUST SOME FAULT FINDING by Ralph Bice From June 1, 1977 At this time of the year, even with the mosquitoes and flies, perhaps we should just think about how nice it is to have winter put away for a few months and not disagree with anything or anybody. But some times things happen, or […]
REFLECTIONS by Ralph Bice From June 15, 1977 As we all know there was an election only last week. Like most elections and all wars nothing much was settled, but it did make for a bit of interesting reading. Then they picked a day when all of us would have had a better day if […]
A SILVER LINING FOR DEER HUNTERS by Ralph Bice From Wednesday, June 22, 1977 Several times I have referred to “Out of Doors” a strictly Ontario magazine which is fairly new as far as outdoor magazines go. I have had reason to find fault with some of the articles, some are really good, in fact […]

It was my second summer guiding in Algonquin Park. Most of the time the younger guides, who did not mind […]
The 12th of September by Ralph Bice From Wednesday, September 14, 1977 Quite a few things have happened on this particular date. This is being written on September 12. The first one that I remember was in 1918. It had been a very nice summer with plenty of fishermen in the woods. The last trip […]
Some History – Another Hunters’ Meeting by Ralph Bice From Wednesday, September 21, 1977 There was another hunters’ meeting in the Legion Hall, Huntsville, on September 17. This was called by the newly reorganized Muskoka-Parry Sound Hunt Camp Association. A few hunters have been working for two years to try and get hunters interested again. […]
ABOUT MOOSE by Ralph Bice From October 12, 1977 It is not so uncommon these days to see a moose in the wilds. Years ago there were not so many moose in the area as there are to-day. They seem to have appeared in the last fifty years and at times there are quite a […]
