Canadian update

The crows are flocking up here big time now and I have seen 3 flocks of over 1000 birds today [more than I saw the last three years]. The speckle bellies are starting to move down but the snows and Canada's are not yet. Ducks have not yet started field wrecking but will shortly. Froze here last night for the first time this year and that usually signals that it's time to head south for our feathered friends.

I like the 66 degree temps that I have here right now much better.

I'm getting the feeling were gonna be in for a helluva winter.
I'm especially concerned with the fuel prices and heating costs

Woods free for the picking around here and dog sleds don't take a lot of fuel :roflmao:.

yeah if I lived there, anything else would be unheard of.

Pitw, thanks for the info, keep us updated please

I took the entire first week of the early season off in October, I'm hoping it gets colder right before it starts

Just a little

Well I was over to Regina on Sunday and back Tuesday. Saw 11 dead racoons on the highway and the Canada gesse, speckle bellies and ducks are wreaking havoc north and east of Moose Jaw. The huge flocks don't appear to be down yet but I have noticed a lot of new birds around here.

Did it drop near or below freezing ? with the winds from the hurricane and the full moon I've been seeing high flying migrators.

pitw · September 17, 2008, 08:48:22 PM

Some area's got frost but it is nice harvest weather right now. The migratory bird's are really moving now.

Sandhill cranes are coming down now in larger numbers. Snow's and blues are down. Remember to read your regulations if you hunt out of your area as some loser over on another site is showing how he shot coyotes in Saskatchewan and only Saskatchewan Resident's can shoot/trap coyotes.

Wish we could hunt sandhills, I've wacthed videos of guys huntin them, they make a good "thud" when hittin the ground.

Thanks again for the update

pitw · September 25, 2008, 01:45:34 PM

I cannot hunt them either. 37 whooping cranes keep us from hunting the sandhills.
