Fall bear hunting in Manitoba with lots of activity at the bait sights.. There are very few wild berries this  fall so the food in the barrels is getting eaten by many bears.

Busy Busy lots of produce off the garden, beans, carrots, cucumbers, dill, garlic, coriander, basil,   making pickles for the hunters this fall and next spring.  Hot bowl of soup and sandwich with home grown pickles makes a lunch break worth while in waterfowl season.

Well swathing has begun in the area.  This is a HAPPY for Canadians large slough just at east end.. then driving along and I see a huge flock of Canadians lift of one slough heading near the swathing..   they must have radar set up for when the swathers start on the cereal crops… another farmer told me today they are landing in the peas that are not combined and they are making a Royal mess tramping it down so pickups wont pull up into header….  Ducks are showing on the ponds now, good numbers of teal and the uncolored mallards… We will be whackn and stackn pretty soon…
