Title: Spring bears, who's going?
Post by: centaur on May 19, 2014, 02:49:00 PM
Turkeys have frustrated me this spring, so I am hoping for a better bear hunt. I leave in a couple of days for Idaho for a chance at a color phase bear, and if I should win the lottery, a shot at a wolf. Who else is headed out for bears this spring?

My Son and I are headed to Manitoba on the 30th. Our first
Hunt together in 10 years, the Bear hunt will be great but the best will be spending time with my son. Years pass too fast,
Will be a very special hunt.
 Good luck to all the Bear hunters this spring.

I leave for Bear Camp tomorrow morning. The boys in camp have everything ready to go, 16 baits all baited and lots of bear action. I might even sneak out late this week to hunt my own bait...fingers crossed..

Everyone venturing out please be safe!!

I'll be hunting in New Brunswick in early June with my brother, best friend, and his grown son. It will be my first bear hunt since 1985 and the first with a curve.

Was planning on going to Manitoba this week, May 17-24, but had reconstructive ACL surgery March 5th.  Two of my friends are up there now, and another friend and I rescheduled the trip for the same time next year.  Was really looking forward to that hunt as the last time I hunted there was back in 2006.

I've been out a few times here and the bears are really on the move.One rub tree is just covered in hair-more than I've ever seen.I've been stepping over this log for many years but the other day,it looked like a bomb hit it.I haven't laid eyes on a bear yet but tons of sign and did come out the other day with 2 lbs of morels.Good luck guys.
