While the black bears are cozily tucked away in their dens, fast asleep; we, Dead Bear Walking Outfitters, are busy as beavers getting prepared for the upcoming hunting season in New Brunswick.
An overview for a typical week for us is:
- Mike working at the hatchery (will post about that later so you all can get an idea of what he does)
- A weekly run to pick up our secured bait for the bears. We then not only unload it but put it all away.
- Basketball- with 3 boys in ball, we run every night of the week. If one doesn’t have a game, they have a practice.
- We have celebrated 3 birthdays in our home this month already- Mike, Tyler (turned 10) and myself. We have 1 more to go- Devin will be 15 in 2 days! Josh is the only one not born in January and will be 17 in March.
- Working on the lodge- While we have made great progress, there’s still tons to be done. I will post an update asap to let you know where we are now!
- Of course, in between all of this, there was my Home & School committee meeting, housework, daily home cooked meals, and skating at the rink for the kids.
That’s just been the highlights! Phew- I’m tired just thinking about it 🙂
When life is busy, we all need a break, some downtime, a way to relax….
I want to share a few photos with you of how the winter months in New Brunswick can be, take a look!!!!
As pictured, Mike always checks to make sure the ice is thick enough to walk on.
Snowshoeing is one of Mike’s favourite winter activities.
We cannot forget to simple beauty of this province in the winter either. Here are a few photos around the lodge in winter.
