The Dodd group from Idaho and Alaska arrive for a little goose and duck hunting Fun!  limits of Mallards, day 1 limits of Mallards day 2 and 37 snows along with limits of mallards day 3.    Curt asks is it always like this or are we just GOOD shots..    Well Tom replies Judy the scout goes from Hero to a Zero but today she is a Hero… It is hunting boys, and you gotta know what is happening, weather must help and then Great shooters who are not scared to pull the trigger if they are a little far out there always helps…..   Tom believes if you dont shoot it wont fall and you never know when its going to FALL!!  All the birds went back to Idaho, so there will be lots of jerky burritos, and sausage in Idaho and Alaska the fall…

Honkers Down in Manitoba

Can he shoot thoseHonkers? Will he smirk when they hit the ground? Big old honkers who eat a lot of grain in the local farmers fields are the birds that hit the hardest.. Jason luvs to hunt anything that flys.. Thats why those Cranes made him smirk when they swung a little close to his spread one morning.

stc_0079stc_0106Would you take either of these bears? Bear pops are high in Manitoba, little black is feeding at the apples and oat barrel out back and the nice blonde was at the yard in spring. However too bad he  wouldnt stay away from local farmers dog dish so he was put down.. He would of made a beauty in a few years.  Locals can protect their farms and animals from predators.

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..
