Last minute bear hunts (updated)

Those 2 hunts are May 29- June4. I've added a hunter for the following week so the 2 hunters will have run of the 17 baits. The couple extra baits is to accomodate the extra hunter making everyone each week have more possibilities. Let me know!

If it were not so expensive to fly there, I would have done it!

Truck and trailer are over-loaded and I'm heading out! See everyone in a few days!

BTW...bought a new camera for quality pix!

Good luck Ryan! Can't wait to see some photos.

Heard of a few bears moving up North of Winnipeg.

Steve, pack up the truck and drive. It has to be closer than NY and I'm driving.

Heard you were up setting and running baits. Can't wait to hear the results.

Got home at 2:30 am totally exhausted and was up at 7 with the family. Spring certainly is late up there but things are looking good. 7 of the baits already have bears at them this spring even though there is still snow in places. 5 of those 7 baits have MONSTERS on them ..seriously...no small bear sign!

Need to figure out the new camera as a couple pix are blurry. Will post pix later....Ryan

Packed up ready to go!

Manitoba Stickflinger · April 30, 2011, 11:07:00 AM

Not excited about how much snow was still around!

This was the washout I was worried about. Thumbs up that it was an easy cross!

Manitoba Stickflinger · April 30, 2011, 11:12:00 AM

Happy to be crossing!

Manitoba Stickflinger · April 30, 2011, 11:17:00 AM

David crossing another washout. I had to break the ice 1st for the little guy!!

Manitoba Stickflinger · April 30, 2011, 11:18:00 AM

Typical terrain to expect!

Manitoba Stickflinger · April 30, 2011, 11:20:00 AM

Nice to see this big track near a beaver dam.

Manitoba Stickflinger · April 30, 2011, 11:22:00 AM

David filling up a bait.....which a hawg is already hitting!!

Steve O · April 30, 2011, 11:34:00 AM

Nothing like checking TG between kids baseball games to find GREAT NEWS! I am counting the days and cannot wait to get up there

Manitoba Stickflinger · April 30, 2011, 11:40:00 AM

Neat story....Was filling up the bait, and after pouring in grease, this little guy popped out of the barrel covered in grease. He looked at me almost as if to say.."Whatcha do that for?" I took these blurry pix and offered him a stick to climb onto. He climbed on as if he knew the plan and I lowered him to the ground. He stayed there the whole time cleaning himself and occassionally giving me a dirty look. It was certainly interesting!

Finally got to check out "home" for this spring. No frills bear hunting!!!

Manitoba Stickflinger · April 30, 2011, 12:12:00 PM
