DEER season

A familiar site around Wolseley these days is a pick-up trucks filled with men in bright orange suits. In fact last Saturday the Ellisboro road was a almost crowded ( about four trucks :)) with hunters all cruising slowly looking for deer.
I had just bagged a substantial buck north of Ellisboro so my season had ended.


Moose are often being spotted in the area and when my Dad and I rounded a bush north of the valley near Mac Bishop's farm we had our encounter. A nice cow was just sauntering along which allowed me a opportunity to take an albeit bad photo of the great animal.

Winter WEATHER

Winter is definately here! -28 C last night, the wind blowing and the sky snowing this morning. And as I shot some video my hands were frezzing after only a minute or so.
