This time of year we usually have an influx of american hunters up here blasting away at the geese and ducks. Pretty soon they will be here for the deer. It is great for our little town (400 people) as it provides a nice little boost to the economy... our little hotel is full for about 2 months... anyone with an old yardsite that has a house is renting it out to hunters. It's funny i went for lunch yesterday at the restaurant in town and my truck was the only one with saskacthewan plates on it... all the rest were american. I've had the same guys hunt birds on my land for the last 5 years.... and they always leave the kids $50.00 american each (that gets some big grins!!!) and they leave me and wife a couple big bottles of whiskey. They offered to pay for going on our land but i declined, there nice guys so why not!! As for the wolves we are seeing more moose moving down into our area and that means the wolves are pushing them down further south... we actually have a draw for moose tags in our zone for the first time this year!
