Manitoba bear hunt openings

Hi Dan....Haven't experienced any issues with bows....gotta love bowhunting! Manitoba in the last 2 years had made it easier to get the bears back to the USA by only needing your hunting tag to get everything across the border. It's only processed hides that need permits....raw hides and meat is normal luggage. Hope that helps...Ryan

You must pay $50 Canadian and fill out a declaration form if you want to bring a firearm into Canada. No worries on bows. Most of the customs agents tilt their head and look kind of funny at you..."You are going to hunt a BEAR with a BOW?!"

I'm definately looking forward to hunting these big color phase bruins next spring, and the spring after, and after, and......

Btw Ryan, hows the fishing up there?

Ryan,
Was talking to Darren Shipp and he thinks I should get talking to you about a bear hunt soon.Looking for a coloured one for sure.

Manitoba Stickflinger · December 11, 2010, 05:43:00 PM

Hey guys...fishing is great from what I hear. Lots of stocked lakes and various types of fish. I'll also "possibly" be looking for a place to shoot some carp if time permits. Bears are 1st though.

Harl....Darrens a great guy, taxidermist, guide and shot with a LB too! Let me know when you're ready for a colored bear...Ryan

I'm trying to set something up with a Caribou hunt in Manitoba.Once I get that taken care of I'll know when to get in touch with you.Darren had nothing but good things to say about YOU as well.

So who on here is going and when. Looks like my son Tyler will get a chance to experience some Manitoba bear hunting. He doesn't know it yet though.

I am thinking mighty hard on it !

Manitoba Stickflinger · December 14, 2010, 03:49:00 PM

Terry...it's almost all guys from here. I need their permission to say who but will encourage them to step up. Manitoba is not gonna know what hit it in 2011!...Ryan

As I mentioned to Ryan in an email...I got a little Christmas bonus from my wife who owns 51% of our company (you can guess who owns the 49%)...when I told her I was sending it to a fireman in Manitoba to help fend off the bear population up there she gave me that "look". Sadly I am getting set for 2012 and not 2011...

I am part of the June 5-11 group. Driving up from S. Illinois.

Manitoba Stickflinger · December 15, 2010, 03:27:00 PM

Too funny Mike! Howabout I send your wife a firefighter calendar to distract her while you come hunting? 2012 seems far away but gives me more time to tie one up for ya! ....Ryan

IndianaBowman · December 16, 2010, 12:10:00 PM

Anyone on here in the first week hunt?

Robhood23 · December 16, 2010, 03:21:00 PM

pm sent with some questions!

Manitoba Stickflinger · December 16, 2010, 05:12:00 PM

Jamie...I typed you a nice long PM but you're PM box is full!...Ryan

Steve O · December 16, 2010, 09:24:00 PM

THAT is frustrating!

So big bear boss; you have any pics of our accomodations?

We are going to eat gourmet just like at the firehouse, eh?

jonsimoneau · December 16, 2010, 09:36:00 PM

I want in one this one so bad! Just can't swing it this year Ryan. I'm trying to line up more quality hunting ground for midwest whitetails!

Manitoba Stickflinger · December 16, 2010, 10:51:00 PM

Steve.....sorry, no pix of the accomodations. I can`t promise much more than a roof, shower, and campfire......oh yeah, and a great view on the lake! The food though...I`m sure you won`t be losing weight. Be sure to drop a couple pounds before you come up.....Ryan

Robhood23 · December 16, 2010, 10:54:00 PM

My bad Ryan, gotta it cleaned up!!
