Merry Christmas from the Halley Family!

Tuesday, December 9th, 2008
Hello one and all and welcome to the Halley’s Camps, Lodges and Outposts December 2008 newsletter. Winter is officially in full swing here in Northwestern Ontario. Not too much snow on the ground as of yet, but that will come. It has been the perfect temperature for making good ice, and soon we will be getting out and about on our snowmobiles. The photo below is a snapshot taken of a small lake near here. You can see the early snowmobile tracks in the foreground, and a few braver individuals have already ventured across the frozen water.

Everyone is doing well, we are all plugging along and taking care of business. But we are looking forward to relaxing a bit over the holiday season with the family, and then it will be off to the sport shows in January! We would like to take this opportunity to wish all of you and yours a very happy holiday season, as well as wishes for health, happiness, and prosperity in the upcoming new year. Merry Christmas!

2008 Fall Hunt Report

Tuesday, December 9th, 2008

At the Outpost Company, we take special care and pride in making certain that your moose hunt will be the hunt of a lifetime. The 2008 season was no exception. There were a number of trophy bulls taken at our remote outpost camps, and with many more trophy bulls being spotted, the 2009 season promises exciting hunts as well!

We had a very successful bear hunt this fall. The blueberry crop over the last few years has been excellent, which has been a boost to the health of the bear population. Still, we had many highly active and aggressively hit baits. Our hunters saw a wide range of bear and had plenty of excitement while on stand. We welcome you to join us for the 2009 fall bear hunt.

The deer population has been on the rise in our area for several years. With a high buck to doe ratio, this made for some exciting deer hunts. Our combination of stand and ground hunting created unique opportunities for trophy bucks. Our guests this year saw many bucks during their stay and were very impressed with the quality of the deer.
