They moved silently through the water as the
Ojibway in the stern stroked without lifting the
paddle from the water. As the canoe approached
the edge of an area of new growth, he lifted the
birch bark cone to his mouth and uttered the ,low
moan that imitated a cow moose in heat. They
waited in silence, and just as,quietly, he came. I
was a young bull.
He eased out of the thick black Spruce forest
and: headed cautiously towards the edge of the
lake. His ears flicked continuously, searching for
some sound and his nose was up testing the wind.
He came slowly becauSe he was young. He knew
he would be no match for a large bull, the
•
seasoned verteran of many fights, but if there
was an unattended cow around, he wanted to find
her.
The man in the bow was tense, waiting for just
the right moment. When it came, his aim was
true and the moose died quickly and humanely.
The two men grinned at each other with relief
from the tension they'd been under, knowing that
the winter's supply of meat lay on the bank and
now the work would begin.
The word &moose" comes from the Ojibway
language and this single animal was the one that
was most essential to their survival. Over the
centuries, these people developed the most ef-
ficient and effective method • of hunting this.
"monarch of the north", and the knowledge has
been passed down from father to son for
generations. The scene I've just described did
not take place a couple of hundred years ago, a.
it might well have, but Occurred on September
7th, 1979. The man in the bow of the canoe was
Jerry Knap from Hamilton.
We were hunting with Louis Waswa and his
crew about 200 miles north of Thunder Bay.
Louis has organized Ojibways in that northern
part of the country and they have set up a series
of hunting and fishing camps under the name of
Ojibway Country Indian Camps. The
organization is actually four separate operations
including. Fort Hope Camps (the rine we were
hunting with), the Winisk „River Camps, the
Lansdowne House Camps and John's Ojibway
Wilderness Camps. These camps offer fishing
for brook trout, northern pike and walleye during
the summer months and hunting for moose,
ducks, and geese in the fall. There is a variety of
plans available to 'Suit almost any budget and the
fishing and hunting is excellent.
All the camps are "wilderness camps" with a
few _being accessible by boat, but the' majority
being strictly a float plane ope'ratioh. Because of
this, the hunting and fishing pressures are very
light. The camps overall have been averaging a
50 to 75 percent success rate for moose hunters
(depending on the year), which is as close to a
sure thing as you'll find anywhere and from the
number of ducks and geese we saw, it is a wing
shooters paradise. If it's fish you're after, you'll
'be amazed on that count as well. Last year Jerry
reports that they hunted from Trading Lake and
one day we made 32 casts and caught 29 walleye
on a little yellow jig. On two of the three casts he
did not. boat a fish, he had Walleye on thal shook
the hook and he had only the'one completOly non-
productive cat. zThat's fishing! On the par-
ticular lake we hunted from, we could easily
catch more walleye than we -could eat and pike
seemed to be everywhere. Unfortunately we
didn't get a chance to sample the brook trout
fishing, but it's supposed to be just as good.
The people that run these camps have lived in
this country all their lives. T.hey know their way
around the bush and can make even the most
--
spartan camp almost as comfortable as your
livingroom)They are friendly, anxious to please
you, and do their absolute best to put you into the
finest fishing or hunting you've ever known in
your life. Several well known outdoor per-
sonalities have labelled them "the best damn
guides I've seen anyffliere".
Want to try fishing the Winisk or Ashweig
Rivers? How about hunting along the Albany or
Attawapiskat River or flying into a lake with an
exotic name like Ozhiski. If you're interested,
drop a line to Ojibway Country Indian Camps,
Fort Hope '(via Nakina), Ontario, POT ILO.
They'll send you all the information on these
remote northern camps, and if you do go, take a
camera with lots and lots of film. It'll be a trip
you'll never forget.
