Del Pratt is a semi-retired cattle rancher. He and his wife Sheila live on the family ranch that his great-grandfather homesteaded in 1910, northeast of Oyen, Alberta. Along the way, he has trained horses, driven a school bus, spent a winter chaining seismic lines (back before GPS), ran a custom fencing business, and worked as a seed specialist for a forage seed company - all to raise a family, and support his ranching habit.

The Long Ride by Del Pratt
“Now, some folks will tell you the prairies are flat. And farther south of us, they might be. But the country we were going through was slightly rolling, and there were lots of dips and draws that would hide an ambush. We had to be cautious.”

The Long Ride by Del Pratt
“Gonna be a long trail gettin’ Judith back. Huntin’ men ain’t like huntin’ deer. Deer don’t try to kill you. You’ll be learning more things faster in the next few days than you’ve ever learned before. Always pay attention to everything around you. Once we hit that trail, there will never be a time that we can let our guard down.”

“I knew he was trying to keep me from getting too nervous, but this was my first shooting scrape. My heart was slowing down, and the excitement was wearing off. To keep my mind occupied, I started thinking back to how we had ended up in a shallow water run with lead flying over our heads in the first place.”
