Big Grass Outfitters

Just cannot stay out of mud. Here Tom digs the parsnips which have been out all winter. Now they are ready to eat, they taste much better after they have been frozen. 

 

Easter sausage just coming out of the smoker ready for dinner. Lawrence makes a great job of sausage, jerky and steaks. That sausage tasted really great with a Cool one!!

4-6 in of snow fell here last nite. A little winter storm moved through over the Riding Mountain and here for about 6 miles all is white and lots of snow.  At lower elevations it is brown and no snow but here wow!!

Here we are unloading barrels at outcamp. Next job is to get bait to baits. Oh poor me!!!.

Red neck, and flatdeck loaded with 30 barrels of bait , now a 2.5 hour drive to outcamtp hopefully the road restrictions will not catch us with 2 heavy loads.

Spring bear season is just around the corner. We are starting to haul barrels of oats and grease to outcamp.

This corner is not yet flooding. still lots of snow back inthe woods to melt and run down the road. Last year we had over 1 foot of water running over here at the corner in mid April. We will wait and see.

Travelling toward the outcamp We see many people out enjoying the Manitoba Spring weather. The young fellow is out taking a nice spring ride  enjoying the 50F temps.  

Bait barrels all filled up waiting to haul to start the spring bear hunting and the first load of barrels left the yard yesterday for outcamp. 45 barrels will be hauled 135 miles to outcamp near Alonsa in ready for the season. Still lots of snow so bears will not be moving for couple weeks yet.

Sitting on a pond just by Russell Manitoba near dusk we see a flock of Canadians glide down and they roost on the open water of the airation of the Rainbow trout pond. this is really the only open water we have as of yet. Still 2-4 feet of ice on most water here in the Russell area.
