First time to camp but an experienced Black bear hunter, Kevin nails this Black and the bullet did its job! he watches 6 others after taking his bear and the last was the largest. Way to go Kevin!
Manitoba black bear baiting
Stealth sees everyone !

Stealth captures awesome photos day and night, here a young doe is watching something, and a big old bruin is visiting our dead beasty pit, We had only seen a couple of foot prints in the spring, but he has now returned. we have watched a small bear each year and if this is same bear it is likely 10 yrs now and likely weighing up in that 350-500 this fall… HOW Ever not baits here at the lodge..

More Chessies in Manitoba at Big Grass



April 10 we tripped to Sheyenne Nd. to pick up this currly little fellow. Tom had to hav a curly Chessy. Well he is now 3 months old him and Sammy Jo run the house ragged, and He rules the roust. He eats first at the dog dish, and she stands back, and he is nearly tall enough so she cannot stand over him.. it was her game to stand and put her paw on him and hold him down.. No holding down now. He is very strong willed… I think its at Chessy thing… He has learned that Jazzy is to be left alone untill she wants attention.. Just walk a large circle around her…I always loose with Jazzy… As usual puppies lots of fun, I always wanted a dog to bring me something to throw. SAMMY is the dog!!! Of course we hope they will retreive ducks and geese too lol..









Whose out on the back 40 acres when we are not around, a nice young moose coming and going at his leisure, and this little buck, Ive been seeing a huge print across the garden but he will not show his face to a camera… 


An evening at the Assiniboine River, a day on the Lake of the Prairies and some great walleye eating at Big Grass Outfitters, but no worries we hope to have a fish fry this fall when hunters are here. |It was nice to be in the boat on a nice day.





Fresh strawberries from the patch at Big Grass. The Market Garden out past the Lodge produces some great produce to turn into yummy food for while the Hunters are here..
then to top the afternoon off Sticky Buns.. a favourite to all the hunters and her Dad and Brother. Grandpa Tom and anyone who arrives.. She loves to bake so it is a great help to Judy when Jessica arrives for the day.
