I hear ya!. Because it's been a mild winter, some lawns in sheltered areas of the city are hinting at green. Give it another month. June will likely be very wet (and I accept that because it probably hasn't rained properly since October) but summer here is truly gorgeous and you kinda forgive and forget for a while.

If you are staying, plant a ton of bulbs at the end of October and you will delight in their appearance through April, willing them to grow faster.

The BC Hunting Regs region 8 shows what you can hunt in the Okanagan region. We don't hunt any of the ones mentioned above. We only hunt in the fall and only hunt deer, moose, elk and grouse usually. I was just letting you know that Hunting is a year round activity in Canada although the vast majority only hunt in the fall.

Just out of interest here's what can be hunted and when they can be hunted in the Okanagan region:

Glad to hear that Jossie- you hunt what I perceive as "normal" prey which makes a good meal for those that want to hunt . I've got to say there are some weird ones - mourning doves, coots, understandable ones for pesky critters- raccoons, coyotes and if persistently pesky skunks but definitely not cougars, black bear wolves, lynx and bobcat. I'm glad to see that grizzly bear do not feature on the list, rare sighting but they are around the Monashee valley. Just my opinion, I prefer to shoot with a camera!

Thanks, the people that lived in our house before us definitely did not care for gardening - or painting it would seem! We definitely need to brighten things up if we are staying. Although there are tons of rabbits where we live, which are cute, but eat everything green so I am told.
