The Prairies are booming. Make no mistake about it, the eastern side of the Canadian Rockies from the Oil Patch, to Cropping, to an Indian Summer, makes for a festive mood. It is sad to see the Americans so wired to their cell phones and internet buzz try and cope with the world of farmers, cattlemen, oilmen, tradesmen and folks that connect with their eyeballs over coffee. Most newbies American hunters are suspicious of these people also wanting to know why they are so open and transparent.. they must want something from me.
I decided, with reservation to allow a Californian hunter to come with us this year. He seemed pleasant but would later turn out to be a hunter, "from Hell." He seemed fine for the first week always being on his cell phone. We had enough of him constantly being called by his while we scouted so I declare no more cell phones in public. Quickly figured he was addicted to painkillers and by week two he was running out. By the second week he was so hyper as he was taking three a day and constantly rambling telling us about his days as a nasty Union organizer. He was asked to leave.
Thanksgiving in Saskatchewan is early October and in the farming lands asll foods are homegrown. After a morning shoot, the spirits came forth and it poured Rye Whisky and then the, "Moonshine." John's brew was a true 98 proof and mixed with Pepsi. It made one of our group almost go blind. Dinner was served and by 6 we were watching the San Francisco giant in the playoff
