We had a lot of problems with spammers and bot attacks with the stock measures provided by the software. The 7 for registration was a fix that we came up with on our own that has worked quite well. Yes it is a PIA for both you and administration to put you onto your chosen username.
If you come back on and your login does not work retry with your username without the 7.

Thanks for joining us from the administration.

Sorry for the low quality image. The phone was all I had. I have given the Nikon point and shoot to my sister who expressed an interest in it. Time for a DSLR...

250 yds. They were very nervous. I glassed them with the cheep little Bushnell 8 X binocs for a positive I.D. Wheat harvest is in kinda early here. They are after what the combine dropped.

About 20 miles n/w of St. Rita...

I have not seen wild turks around here for one heck of a long time!

Regards,

Doc Sharptail

Wheat fed turks have a good flavor! Do you have turkey season?

We have a good crop here again. Just saw a good size flock grazing on grasshoppers. Season starts Sept 15 & goes until Jan 31 with a max of 4 to be shot. SW

We have a short season for them ~ 2 weeks. Toms with visible beard only.
One turkey per license, and one license per year. IIRC, licenses are still on a draw only basis.

I am surprised they are surviving our winters. There is even a Wild Turkey organization here- Manitoba Wild Turkey Federation.

This is only the third time in my life I have encountered them, and the first in a farm location.
The other two encounters were up on the escarpment, and N/W Ontario....

Regards,

Doc Sharptail
