Title: Last minute Bear hunt opportunity
Post by: Manitoba Stickflinger on April 07, 2017, 11:02:00 PM
Well I just got a letter in the mail that the bear population in my area is so strong and undersubscribed for tags that the government is giving me four more tags annually.

I will be offering a reduced rate 5 day hunt for 3 hunters May 15-19 with a significant discount. $2500 per Hunter for everything including hunt, tags, fees, and taxes.

Spring is early so it'll be a good week.

One time offer only.

Please read later posts for amended openings

16 baits for 3 hunters gives us lots of opportunities

Dang this is a great opportunity guys! I can't wait to go again next year and hopefully I won't fill my tag on the first day this next time  ;)

Thx Michael! Sometimes the first night is the best night.  You killed a beautiful bear with a very lethal shot. Maybe I'll not let you take arrows with you until mid week?

This is a great hunt! I went week one last year and had 10 bears within 10 yards and saw several others. Ryan has his baits set up for nice close Trad shots.
(I'm going back week three this year and maybe week two next year!)

Geez Ryan, fantastic opportunity. I wish I was currently in a position to jump.

Great deal! Wish I could make it. I plan on hunting with Ryan again in the future. I honestly don't know how a spring bear hunt could be any better. I think I had 8 different bears on my bait the first night. It's an amazing place.

These threads kill me!  I am lucky in that I go every other year, but this has become a favorite of mine and I am soooo tempted when these cancellations come up.  I try to do a western hunt on the off years and it just would not be fair for me to two in a year, but man am I tempted!

Times must be tough out there. $800 off the price of this hunt is a very good deal.

I realized something the other day. Have you guys noticed how many tradgangers make repeated trips to hunt with Ryan? I think that says a lot about the experience most archers have.

This will be my second trip to Manitoba. And I can't wait to get up there again.

22,000 pounds of trail mix arrived this week. Snow should be gone soon so baits will be out by next week. Tic tic tic

If there's no takers here at least 2 bears will be happy to not be table fare!

Down to one spot. Only the May 15 spot left. That'll be only 3 guys in camp that week.

Times are too tough for me to sink that much vacation time and money into one hunt.

Speaking of money, it costs me $2500 each year to hunt bears here as a resident doing it myself. Even excluding ATV's, tub trailers, and all equipment to run baits, just the bait itself and all the fuel adds up very quickly.

I understand that some people may think it's a lot of money for a hunt, but it's very inexpensive compared to other guided hunts that less money go into to set up.

My employer has closed off any time off before July....  or you know where I would be .... New software platform, blah, blah, blah...

If anyone is considering this hunt....  go!  Don't wait another year.  Do it now.  You will not be sorry.

Always wanted to hunt bears, and this sounds like a great opportunity. To bad school isn't out yet.

Sometimes I am guilty of speaking  (or typing) before thinking.  Sorry that my prior message came across poorly.

My intent was to comment on what a good deal the $800 dollar discount was only.

I realize that the cost of this hunt is significant. I think it is well worth it, others may not. I do know alot of other guys make return return trips to hunt with Ryan so they must think so too.
