TallTines Week at Manitoba Stickflingers--Fantastic!

Steve O · May 29, 2011, 10:28:00 AM

I am at the hotel in Winnipeg ready for my last leg of the trip and the rest of the boys are somewhere in Minnesota but you all will want to tune in later for the pictures :D .

My search for a black blear outfitter is over. As long as he is running hunts, I will be going to and taking my friend's with me to Ryan Derlago's; he is that good

Everything was fantastic and while it is going to be tough to improve on things, I am looking forward to the future. Ryan has big plans!

My flight does not get in until late tonight, but I will try to get some photos up as soon as the family will let me.

I will say this; for those of us that hunted more than an hour, we were all treated to the sight of living and breathing Boone & Crockett class black bear in the wild bush of Manitoba...

I've been anxiously awaiting the pictures. I hunted Ryan's area 25 years ago. I was highly impressed with the three "C"s.. Cuality, Cuantity and Color phases! I've already heard some street talk about the hunt but don't want to spoil it for the storytellers. Good job guys! UB

Looking forward to it Steve. Did Ryan have to hold your hand like was rumored?

Hawkeye · May 29, 2011, 11:12:00 AM

I was wondering about you guys just this morning, but didn't even know for sure what week you were supposed to be there. Looking forward to the pics and stories. Can't wait to see Herdbull walking with two B&C bears draped over his shoulders!!!! :rolleyes:

Wishing you the best of luck, best of the hunt, the best of comraderie and the best of the total experience.

Just got a call from one of them on his way home. Don't want to ruin it but it sounds like they had an absolutely fantastic hunt. The guy I spoke with saw thirty-three bears in three days! Obviously some repeats but it sounds like they all had non-stop action. Sweet dreams. UB

I have been waiting for this Steve

I will be there in 6 days and can't wait. Since this is my first bear hunt methinks I am in for a treat

Mr. TallTines (Brian Wessel) has been home for less than an hour now. He has a pretty wife and two adorable little girls to attend to. Have patience my friends! UB

Jack Guard · May 29, 2011, 06:09:00 PM

Oh man, i soooooo wanted to be up there for one of those hunts this year. To top it off how cool would it have been to be there with Brian and Steve O.

I will have to live vicariously through you all. Maybe next spring!

So For now, i will wait, patiently, refreshing, and waiting, and refreshing, and waiting.

Did i say patiently ??
