Jeff and I arrived in Edmonton yesterday late evening and picked up a rental car and spent the night in a hotel. Woke up this morning and did the ritual chores before arriving at the farm. Went to the bank to change currency, grocery store, Costco and Cabelas. Once this was finished a 2 hour trek to our destination. We get to Crystal and Rob's farm, put away groceries, unpack the rental car and change into our work clothes. The trip always lands smack dab in the middle of the wheat and canola harvest and this year was no different. Off to the fields to work we went.
We worked the fields until about 5:30 PM and then took a 2 hour break to go scout for geese. It took a few minutes but we checked a pea field that Rob had seen geese in a few days ago and bingo, we are in business. The field loaded up in about an hours time.
It's about 7:30 PM and back to the fields we go to continue to pick up wheat. We worked until 11:15 PM tonight (10:15 Cali time). All fun but we are tired and anxious for tomorrows morning hunt
Off to bed - tomorrow a hunting report !
