Title: Stickflingers 2013 openings
Post by: Manitoba Stickflinger on July 05, 2012, 12:14:00 PM
The dust has settled from the 2012 season and looking back I can say it was a very successful season. Half of the bears killed were P&Y qualifiers, as well as some GIANT bears taken, and also numerous color phase bears.

I just received word that the biggest bear killed in camp, IF shot with a trad bow would have been a new world record.....yep, that's "IF".

After shuffling some hunters around for 2013 I have 2 openings. One opening May 19-24 which is week one for the year, and one opening for week two which is May 26-31. I have no openings for 2014 and one for May 24-29 2015.

Thanks...Ryan

The spot for May26-31 is SOLD!

That makes May19-24 the last spot for 2013. This is selling faster than tickets for a Justin Bieber concert!

Don't you mean as fast as "Rush"... that's more of a tough Canadian band  :)  

SOLD is a good thing   :campfire:

Glad I get to go this spring...might be worm food before I get to go back  :)  

Hey Ry, reminds me, if I croak mind if my wife cans me up like spam and sends me to Canada for bait? Probably costs less than a funeral and that way I could bear hunt alot of different baits at once   :cool:

Mike...I'll take whatever bait I can get my hands on! Problem with using your remains is that only the females would be around.....you old chick magnet. Would work good for the rut!

Man, I leave to drive to northern Michigan and look at all the activity.  And to think it was all done before I could play.  Ah well, at least I am in for 15 & 16.

D.P.

Just when Steve had me convinced they aren't giant raccoons, the opportunity came and went.  You are booked for a good reason Ryan.  I'm looking forward to seeing what other monsters come from your outfit.

Thanks guys! Overwhelming feedback here! 2016 is the earliest opening but Stickflingers may grow by then and be able to offer more tags sooner...fingers crossed. Thanks again...Ryan

That's some funny stuff, Dave.  I think Ryan's pretty luck to have you on board.
