Who's Bear Hunting this Spring?

[Pinecone]

Well, looks like I'll be packing up my stickbow and heading up to a fly-in camp in Manitoba this June to try for a blackie.  I'm still working out some final details with the Outfitter (mostly my week), but I am already getting excited! I'll be turning 50 this Spring and this hunt seems like an appropriate way to celebrate.

Who else has a bear hunt scheduled for this Spring?  Let's hear about your plans.

excellent way to celebrate....  Good luck and be sure to let the 'bear settle down' before your shot.  Joe

Sounds like an adventure!  I'm not going until September up in Alaska, but have been planning for a LONG time.

Happy early birthday!  I will be 40 in May.  I'm trying to figure out a good way to celebrate too.

Claudia, I'll be hunting with Tom Phillips on Bear Quest IV in Quebec this June. Will be my first Bear hunt out of Michigan. Can't wait.

[jeanpaul3006]

that's great, what part of the province are you hunting?

[pow-bow]

Anybody headed to POW?  I'm here and willing to lend a helping hand to anyone coming this way.

I'll be north of Winnipeg, hunting with McKenzie Outfitters. I don't recall the closest town.  Should be a great time!

I'm heading back up to New Brunswick Canada the first week of June with our group of 9 this year. Should be a fun time as usual.

Is this your first bear bowhunt?

Most importantly do not be in a hurry.  These bears want the bait and will come back in many times after the goodies. Sit back and enjoy the show. Be patient and wait for the perfect shot.

Single lung hit bears simply will not be recovered.  ONLY take broadside shots.  8" circle mid body tight behind the shoulder equals a dead bear every time.

Good luck and let us know when you get back.

Mrs. Cone- plan on getting out a bit but probably just day trips locally, up high in avalanche chutes where the grass comes in early and thick.  Hope your trip works out well.

I picked up tags for my step son, two nephews, and myself Friday.

I will take my trad bow out, but don't really expect much to happen. I will be focusing on the boys harvesting with their rifles.

We CAN NOT bait, so it is a tough hunt with a bow in this terrain and brush.

Good luck to those that can sit over a bait pile.

[cacciatore]

[Biggie Hoffman]

I'm booked with Cochran River Outfitters in Saskatchewon. BIG bears and 1st class accomodations.

[Pinecone]

Looks like a lot of bears are gonna have a tough Spring when the "Gang" hits the woods!  Good luck everyone...and don't forget your bug spray...those black flies are darn near predatory!

Haven't chased blackies for a couple years. Huge fun though! My last was Yukon bruin that I killed on a stalk. No bears for me this spring, but something bigger (and meaner) coming in a few years...

Always enjoy your posts!
