G'day Goodguy,
With a resume like you have, you're definitely a Valley lad. I consider myself to be more from the Madawaska valley than the Ottawa but most people aren't familar with the Madawaska. Our hunt camp is on Gun Lake about 1000 ft from the Opeongo River which eventually dumps into the Madawaska river which dumps into the Ottawa river. Not a lot of deer in the area but the ones there are big ones.
The places you mentioned where you've hunted are in a song I recorded on CD recently. Check out my site
