May Motion camera photos show how thin the whitetail were after winter. Looks like the one doe is heayy in calf. Every year we have a doe fawn out back , we are seeing big and small foot prints in the garden near the peas.. I have no problem sharing as long as they dont eat them all

Manitoba Robin nest

More Bears at Big Grass

imageimageimageLast weekwe had bear scat, this week we have foot prints down the lane and across the garden to the Raspberries which I hav started to pick. I share with the birds but not sure if I will share with Mr Bear. We may hav to bring out the 410 to tell him to stay away! No wild berries this year the 2 year olds are hungry.

Bear bait for Big Black Bears

IMG_0409Access to meat scraps in rural Manitoba for bear bait, most hunters use some sort of bait besides oats and grease from sweets, baking, candy, meat scraps and beaver carcasses.. Good baiting practices make great sightings and the baits.
