If its burned early enough, grass can recover in the same season. You should be fine by summer time.

That reminds me of the time I shot a beaver with a .22. Threw the 'dead' rodent in the trunk of my old K-car, and was heading home. I start hearing this noise from my trunk. I pull over, pop it open, and there's this beaver, looking at me. (And I'd shot it in the head). So, I grab it by the tail, pull him out onto the road, and put another round, point blank to the back of its head. It died again, and off to home I go to skin it out. I set up my table with plastic, set the beaver down, go to get my knife all sharpend up in the other room. Come back, am about to make the first cut, and the dead beaver wakes up, freaks out, and starts running around my house...I had to chase it down, catch it, wrestle it back outside and shoot it a third time...

Well, from what I've seen of the members of this board, I'd invite anyone of you to hunt my place if your in for some manitoba bucks

I'd agree with the dinner idea. Maybe whip up some of whatever you hunted there. If people were all more like that, I'd still invite people to hunt my land. But all I ever get is cut up trees, rutted up fields, garbage left all over, and not even so much as a "see you later' until next season rolls around.

Gotta love the Sask guys. #1 game animal, Richardson Ground Squirrel ;p.

Well, I'm no expert, but if you won the pot, it wasn't such a horrible call now, was it? I prefer 5 card myself. But most people want to play hold'em these days. I havn't even seen a good game of 5 card in over a year.

Well, having 100-200 acres of open field isn't far fetched. Can take a feeding deer more then a few bounds to find cover grazing in an cut barley field.

Did you look out back? Or maybe up town somewhere? Maybe one of thier basements? Don't you remember what was going when that many kids were MIA at one time from when you were in highschool?

I just go out on any spare day off I get. Before the daylight savings time kicks in, bring my gun and gear with me to work, and stop in at the marsh for a couple hours of ducks before supper...

Big Drum from Lake MB Fiancee's Red River Channel Cat Black Powder Buck (half skinned. Sorry, didn't think of Photo's until after) Rifle Buck, 4x4 with a nice 20" inside I got more fish pictures, just none postable right now...

Well, I'll be 10, or 11, or whatever we're at...I realy only recognize the numbers 6, 12, or 24...Sometimes 18 if you pick up cans...

As long as you just leave it to warm up in a corner somewhere, it should be fine. I wouldn't go hanging it over the wood stove, or setting it on a heater vent or anything. I've left my bow in my car all day while at work, then go to the indoor archery range, browse around the proshop while I let it warm up a bit, then go shoot it no problem.

When this came up, I wanted to book right away. Fiancee says I can't spend that much money hunting when we got a wedding to save for. One of these days I'll get a chance to hunt an antalope.

Only, after sitting in a tree all day before the draw, the extra creeks don't come from the bow... I don't worry about my bow getting cold. However, I do like to avoid shooting outdoors in the extreme cold (-40 type weather). I don't know if it would hurt, but I'm a little on the paranoid side. Besides, its no fun being out when its that cold.

Well, I've been east also. And I'll hand it to you, its damp in the air, and it settles into your bones. But I'll still take that over stepping outside the door and having all exposed skin instantly turn to ice ;p

Coffee goes in the other end...I don't care how sick I am...

Ah, quite your complaining...Its been -40 to -45 here for the last couple weeks...

Bought my cavalier in 2004 with 4 miles on it. Now its around 106,000 miles. (converted from Kilometers).

Quarter Master Sergant for an army unit in Winnipeg. Looking into a career change in the near future.

Well, I just tried 3d for the first time ever at an indoor range (I got some of my own targets for christmas, but its been to cold to go into the yard). I must admit, the course forced me to use my imagination alot more when lining up shots. Though some of the shots were near impossible, and I would never even think of taking them in a hunting situations. And the metal and wooden obstcals cost me 4 arrows... However, and probably most important, it was a blast, and I managed to put in double the shooting time I normaly use. I think I'll keep trying to catch 3d days at the range when I get the chance.

Ouch. One thing I'm glad for, not having to pay for medical plans. $1075 a month isn't that far from being the take-home pay from her every second check..

Well, they're disposable for a reason...

She teaches in a small town north of Winnipeg. Lundar. Her school is about a 2 min walk from the big giant goose. She teaches both home ec, and ELA, though she studies to teach Social studies and Geography. She runs an art club over lunch hours, and after 50 hours of extra curricular activity she gets a personal day off to be used by the end of the year. She doesn't stay too long after school, as most kids take the bus. She does most of her grading in her spare periods. Rarely ever does she take work home, other then some recipes she needs to buy ingrediants for, or the odd assignment she just didn't get around to grading.

To be quite honest, I have nothing against paying anyone more. But that money has to come from somewhere, and when you start adding tax to folk who are already over worked, underpaid and over taxed...Besides, I don't think education gets shafted. Teachers would get a much bigger cut if it wasn't for all the school boards, trusties, teacher societies, and all the rest of the highly over paid paper pushers. But I suppose thats true in any area.
