Over the last couple days, I've learned some interesting things. One thing is that the dumpster is the most happening spot at the hotel. I have been cleaning our birds each night on the truck tailgate pulled next to the dumpster, so I can throw the carcasses in when I'm finished. It seems that it's a popular spot, because every night I get to talk to several other hotel guests / hunters as they make an evening trek to deposit something in the receptacle. Although this causes my bird cleaning to take longer than necessary, it has been good to talk to the other guys and sometimes it has been enlightening. One of these conversations went like this (after the exchange of pleasantries):
Bill: So, did you do any good today?
Guy: Yeah, we got a good many ducks yesterday, and 5 Canadians today.
Bill: I didn't know it was legal to shoot Canadians.
Guy: Yeah, as long as you have the right permits and are done hunting by 1pm.
Bill: Good to know, thanks...
So, the moral of that story (I think), is that they take border security pretty seriously up here (maybe our southern border states could take a lesson)... Sue Snow and any other readers who are neighbors to the North, be careful if you come to ND!!!
In retrospect, maybe the guy meant to say that they got 5 "Canada Geese", but I can only report what he told me...
Now THAT was funny!! And I am jealous of your weather :-)
