I wrote this as a pm to someone who inquired but it has all the info so I'm going to post it here also. The dates are either sept. 8-13 or sept 15-20th. Thats the only two fall weeks he hunts.
He usually only takes 4 guys a week for a real personal touch. So either of those weeks, and we would have 4 of us tradgangers in camp each week. I also thought I might try and convince him to maybe make it all in 1 week instead of breaking it up as ne normally does. 8 guys in camp at the same time for more of a rendesvouz type feel. Might be more of a real get together, not sure if he would go for this as it would require him to hire an extra guide that week and another cabin. But if thats what all 8 of us wanted I can almost guarantee he would do it. Let me know what you would like as I would take a poll, small and personal or more rendesvouz? The cost is $ 2400(hunt)+310(tag)+150 for a special fishing trip he put together for us. There is fishing every day outside the lodge, walleye and pike and perch etc. but that extra $150 would be for a trip on friday to a new lake that you catch like 100 walleyes in a day, it's awesome. This bear hunt is special. It's not cheap but it is the real deal. Huge manitoba bears. In 2005 he killed the #2 bear in mb. 21 almost 22 inch skull (huge). My friend mike is an awesome outfitter and an even better man. He runs a great trip. He puts his heart and soul into all the hunts I have been on. I guarantee it personally. Last year I took my dad up here and we had a blast. My dad killed a 6 1/2 foot 350 plus bear the first night. I filmed it. I had mike put up a stand next to my dads. The next night my dad filmed me arrow a beautiful bear. Two bears two nights. The lodge is first class also. You will be amazed if you decide to go. I actually just got off the phone with him and told him about this post and my plans. I told him he needs more 3-d targets and , All of us tradgang sweatshirts and some stuff. I know cari-bow bows is near there, maybe a side trip? He was all for it and couldn't wait as he would love to see this happen with all traditional. I think he was as excited as me.Let me know if it's something your interested in? I have a video of the lodge and his hunts if your interested, i am making copies so Send me your address and i'll get it out to ya! Looking forward to hearing from everyone!
