Thanks Shelley. The production company that produced the Shield is currently in preproduction of another project covering the Trent Severn corridor. I hope that we will be a part in that show as well. Babs you can get a copy of the DVD at the Library in Honey Harbour.
I thought I saw something there the last time I was at the library. Thanks for the info Bernard…
Watched a show last night on The Shield and it was a history on the Muskoka area. Rise and decline of the resorts and big boats. Very interesting. Some of the history matched the book we have on Honey Harbour. Amazing that the Honey Harbour Boat Works built 3 large wooden ships for WW II so they could hunt for subs. Bernard, it was nice to put a face to the name…you did a great job on the show!!!
Was the name of the show called The Shield. I would be interested in looking it up. Thanks…
John,
I had read in Cottage Life Magazine that bears would go after gasoline. That seems like a very odd thing to want doesn’t it. We did see the bear again this week right out in front of our neighbours cottage with lots of people around. Didn’t seem bothered by anyone and wandered off after the dogs started barking.
On another note, we had dinner on Saturday night at the Lakeside Grill (at Nautilus Marina). We sat outside and watched the sunset. All nine of us raved about our dinners, the service was great and it was a really fun evening. If you haven’t been try it out. Make a reservation so you won’t be disappointed.
FYI another bear sighting, at the corner of South Bay Rd. and Toby’s Rd. July 31st neigbor say one also that week.
Shelley, your Lt. Beausoleil Is. bear is a gas sniffer. He utterly destroyed my filled plastic gas can, that was stored in sealed a rubber storage bin. Guess he didn’t like the colour of the bin?
Does anyone know why the public boat launch in front of the library was blocked on the long weekend? Is there another public launch available to day visitors?
Last week we saw either 2 bears or the same one twice. One swam across charlies Channel and climbed up just before Bass Bay. The other one was in the back yard just under the window. I think I scared it when I ran outside to tell the people who were sitting on the deck because he was heading in that direction, but he went up into the bush toward Bass Bay…
There was a bear cub killed on Honey Harbour Rd on Sunday between 4:30pm and 6:00pm. We were up for the week but saw no bear evidence.

I have forwarded this on to several different people.
Bear broke into neighbors porch across the channel on Mermaid a couple of weeks ago. Once he left then the racoons moved in…BIG mess. Has been seen swimming the channel a couple times between Mermaid and Deer Island. Looks like a good sized one!
I am looking to buy a used Sunfish sailboat in good condition. Call me at 607 738 7647. Thank you.
Hi, My husband and I are looking to come up for an early all day fishing trip, we are interested in on shore fishing and would like to know where the best location would be for just the two of us. Any good locations around the honey harbour area?
Thanks Lib
Bear sighted turning over boulders and munching on east Shore of Deer Island
John, how big was the bear at your place. On the same morning around 10:30, we had a young bear (no longer a cub)walk through our back yard on Little Beausoleil. We’re just around the corner from Shelley. He left our place and went around the point to our neighbours’ and explored their yard for a while. We got a report that he had been seen on the bluff behind Lover’s Bay earlier that morning.
Andy…being I’m no bear expert, I would say he was approx. 32″ at the shoulders, referencing to our window sills. Very healthy looking.
We had a Mom and her cub behind our place. The cub ended up in our neighbours outhouse…brave little soul!!! Several friends in Cogneshene have reported sightings. The blueberries are thick this year so hopefully they with focus on that instead of our cottages!!!
Well Shelley, I had your Little Beausoleil Is. bear walking on my deck [main channel below Lt. Dog] July 1st morning around 8AM. Nice looking specimen. Thank god he didn’t want to come through the sliding door!
