We made it into Grande Prairie, Alberta tonight. Or afternoon rather and dropped off our gift to Gordy. He has a pea field lined up for us, which will be nice. It gives us something to hunt come Monday.The trailer pulled nicely all the way up, though it does cut down our gas mileage. That’s alright though. we can carry more and not worry about it getting stolen.

We left Airdrie this morning and there was a fair wind blowing. Southward I gather from the small plane nearly matching speed with us as it paralleled the freeway. the rain was scattered all day. Dry to drizzle to deluge all the way here. If the weather holds like this, it could be a decent hunt. The rain usually brings them lower and closer, and conceals the true nature of the decoys longer.

We’re getting up early tomorrow to do some scounting and to square away the contents of the trailer considering we just hastily threw it all in there. We also need our licenses. With the Canadian dollar on par with the US dollar, it’s going to be pricy. At least it’s fun, not to mention rewarding. And, we found someone willing to pluck them for us.
