This is the guy who died a couple of weeks ago. I admit to being a very sad guy that night when he died.

I love pheasants! When I was a kid growing up here we had a male live here for about 3 years but no mate, so eventually no more pheasants. I have often thought of buying some to keep here. We have about 30-35 acres of bushland as well as a coulee running through our property.

I tried 7 wild turkey chicks a few years ago. I let them out when they were half grown and they only stayed a day or two, then took off 2 miles east to the Red River. Too bad, I thought it would be fun to have them around. My dad was president of the Manitoba Wildlife Federation in the early 60's. He was one of a group of I think 3 or 4 guys who introduced turkeys to Manitoba. My dad is long gone but I thought it would be so cool to have them running around on the very acreage he lived almost his whole life on.

Carl, we have a rehabilitation center for hawks and owls in the south Okanagan. They've seen all kinds of injuries, and successfully cared for and released many over the years. He might have had a chance at a place like that.

I never get enough of these guys when we go to the lake. This guy chewed right through the mesh on the chair to get his seeds!

I called our rehab place here and I was surprised how un-interested they were in helping. Nobody around there until 9 the next morning. I was sure he wouldn't make the night and he only made it a couple of hours.

Years ago I caught a snowy owl with a broken wing but I've found that if you can catch them they are usually too far gone to save.

I caught this "friendly" girl trying to lay eggs by the deck at the lake one evening. I showed the kids why they are called snapping turtles! She sure clamped down on a stick I held in front of her.

I really wanted to terminate her because we can't have them around the dock where we swim but I just couldn't do it. We put her in the truck box, drove about 2 miles and released her near a highway with a ditch full of water.

This was really cool. We were fishing around my cousin's island (right where I caught that trout) and saw this young bald eagle. He let me get pretty close and then he flew but couldn't make it the 1/4 mile to the next island and landed in the water. I was really scared because I knew he wouldn't be able to take off out of the water. I knew he'd tear me to shreds if I tried to pick him out of the water. We slowly followed him as he paddled back to his roost. I was SO relieved when he made it back to shore.

No turtles?  Wow, we see lots of painted and the odd snapping like this one.

Pretty distant shot but this wolf ran past me when I was out on the ice road in Feb. By coincidence, he only about 500 feet south of where the eagle swam and 500 feet west of where I got the trout! Great area!!!
