Hunt Lake Manitoba Narrows

In addition to providing funding for scientific research, the Lake Winnipeg Foundation also supports educational initiatives.

“The Lake Winnipeg Foundation will support any endeavor that restricts and reduces the Phosphorus in the water and promotes the reuse of Phosphorus for plant life,” says Boyd.

One of these initiatives is the Ecole St. Avila Down the Drain project. Beginning in the 2008-2009 school year this five year project was started with the idea to improve the grounds at Ecole St. Avila Down the Drain project. Beginning in the 2008-2009 school year this five year project was started with the idea to improve the grounds at Ecole St. Avila which were plagued by drainage problems.

Rather than utilizing traditional drainage methods which would see nutrient-laden runoff routed directly into Lake Winnipeg, the school engaged the staff, students and parents to come up with a more environmentally friendly option.

What they ended up creating was a bio-retention system that utilizes bio swales, berms and dry creek beds to channel water into a rain garden where it is absorbed by Manitoba plants and grasses.

“It’s quite an interesting project,” says Boyd, adding that Down the Drain is a great way to both educate and get kids involved in maintaining the health of Lake Winnipeg.

The Lake Winnipeg Foundation is also hoping to increase awareness and interest in the lake through a number of special initiatives and events – the largest being the Walk for Water.

Last year participants in the annual walk-a-thon raised over $43,000 in funds for the Foundation and its efforts, this year they are hoping to raise even more money with the addition of the inaugural Golf Fore Water tournament which is set to take place on August 30th.

“And if people can’t walk we encourage them to come up with their own fundraising events,” says Boyd, who fondly recalls one child who went door to door collecting pledges for a read-a-thon where all monies raised were donated to the Foundation.

Another interesting initiative is The Lake-a short film competition held in partnership with the Gimli Film Festival. Film makers are invited to create a five minute tribute to or history of the lake. Each film will be judged on cinematic quality and if it captures the essence of Lake Winnipeg- the top 10 films be screened at the film festival.

Please introduce your family and friends to hunting in 2011.

The popularity of hunting has increased in the past few years. This, however, can’t compare with the large number of Manitobans who hunted 25 years ago. Hunting opportunities abound all over our province. In addition, many changes have been made to the hunting regulations to encourage new hunters, youth and residents of all ages to get out and enjoy the great outdoors. Manitoba Conservation wants to increase hunting activities even more and we hope you can help.

• Ask your friend, children, relatives, or co-workers to join you on a hunt.
• Get to know the hunter educator in your area (through the Manitoba Wildlife Federation) and see how you can bring new hunters to them.
• Start a mentored hunt in your community. For more information about mentored hunts for waterfowl, wild turkey and deer (muzzleloader), or hunter education programs, contact the Manitoba Wildlife Federation at 204-633-4868 in Winnipeg; toll free 1-877-633-4868.

Much later, after I had crossed the head of the canyon, I followed his slide mark to where he had stopped, a single small hole back of his shoulder.

Red Monical came down from the canyon rim, and we hung my deer in a tree before clambering out in gathering darkness. I wrapped the buck in my undershirt before leaving, so that the man scent would scare off varmints. We got back to Livingston, Montana, for the night, clawing through drifting snow with my four-wheel-drive.

That was along toward the middle of November, which is the time to kill a big mulie buck – but it’s a touchy time of year for back-in camping. You can have a real snow-in, freeze-up.

In Montana the general deer season usually opens around October 15 and ends around November 15. There’s a saying about mule-deer hunting:

“Go early for meat. Go late for racks.”

Season opening is the time to collect a prime doe or a butter-fat forkhorn for the locker. The best time to get the guy with the rocking-chair rack is during the rut, and that’s well into November. He won’t be so fat then, but he’ll be on the prowl – and that’s when you’ll see all the big heads you didn’t believe were around anymore. The peak of the rut is the time if you want a trophy.

I’m a chump for mule-deer hunting. My wife and I spend much of the fall in Montana, getting back to our Florida home early in December.

In the fall of 1962 I was having a ball looking them over. I looked them over during an early season on the Gallatin River drainage. Then, with time out for trout fishing, antelope hunting a fruitless trip after elk, I had settled down to steady mule-deer watching. I had seen hundreds, but the big bucks were hard to come by. They usually are. Just about season opening you see them around. Then, with the first few shots, they go back or up or both – anyway, they’re difficult to spot.

Several good heads I had sighted before season opening disappeared when the law went off. There was one monster over in Antelope Basin, south of Ennis. He looked big enough to pull a plow, carried an enormous set of antlers and seemed almost friendly – until the season opened. After that I never saw him.

Eugene Decker, who worked for the U.S. Forest Service out of Bozeman, Montana, had planned to go mule-deer hunting with me when the time was ripe. I had called him from Livingston about the third week in October. Gene wanted a symmetrical, typical rack for a mount.

“Don’t bother me about deer.” Gene said. “Let’s be scientific about this thing. We both know all the big ones will be out on the prod in a couple more weeks. Why knock ourselves out now? I’m going grouse hunting. Want to come along?

I knew he was right, but I kept on deer hunting. Ten days later, Gene checked in by phone.

“The time is ripening,” he said simply. “I expect to kill just the buck I want on a two-day hunt. I shall look them over for one day and then bust the big one and take him to the taxidermist.

“A game-biologist friend of mine says the peak of the rut will be during three or four days around next Saturday,” he added.

I tried to yell – to warn my friend Bill Yokum – for he obviously hadn’t seen the dangerous wild animal perched on the hood of my car, staring wickedly through the windshield at me. Fear seized my voice box.

“Hi,” he said casually, at the same time trying to constrain the enthusiastic greeting of the frantically wriggling bundle of fur he’s scooped up in his arms.

“This is Bobby,” he said. “I found him about a year ago when he was just a kitten. His mother had been killed.”

As Bill talked, ideas began to form in my mind, and before long we were headed for the country, cameras packed.

We carried several cans of sardines and a dead rabbit – the first to lure Bobby in case he wandered too far afield; the second to add a touch of realism. The resulting pictures represent an unusual look into the outdoor life of a not-so-wild wildcat.
