Title: Bear hunting
Post by: Lee Lobbestael on November 16, 2010, 10:49:00 PM: My buddy is looking for a good outfitter to go bear hunting at with trad gear. He lives in Michigan so somewhere in the north is preferable! Any suggestions?

Post by: YORNOC on November 17, 2010, 07:12:00 AM: I've hunted in all canadian provinces except British Columbia. I prefer western Canada over eastern by far. No black flies! Ontario, Quebec,even Maine,etc. the flies were brutal.Once you get a bit farther west,the mosquitos( not many!) are the size of pelicans but that makes 'em easier to swat! GET REFERENCES!!!! Manitoba was great, I didn't know of Manitoba Stickflinger then, but I would think its a safe bet hunting with a fellow trad ganger, looks like he has great color phases.That is a HUGE bear in his pic.
I'm heading for Alaska next September to hunt giant blackies feeding on salmon in the streams(spot and stalk) and try a secondary crack at a moose. Self guided, so there will be a lot of work to do...but I'm finally going to ALASKA!!!!!

Where else can you have Bowdoc as the camp cook?

Post by: Yellow Dog on November 17, 2010, 03:32:00 PM: Check out "Traditional Adventures VI" from Bill Langer Productions, Bill's a Sponsor here. Plenty of footage from Bear Quest III with Tom and the gang from the 2009 hunt. You even get to see Bowdoc in action :thumbsup: I did the 2010 hunt and plan on doing 2011. It's the BEST! I'm sure the others mentioned are great hunts but from a driving standpoint from Michigan this hunt works the best for me, I don't like to fly.

Post by: Ibow on December 08, 2010, 06:54:00 PM: I will second all the positive things said about Ryan (Stickflingers) here on this thread and any others. While I ended up NOT hunting with Ryan in Manitoba and went with another outfitter, I can't say enough good about him. The advice and suggestions he gave me over a period of months prior to my hunt in Manitoba back in 08 were incredibly helpful and on top of that, you just won't find a nicer guy than Ryan - with a great sense of humor as well. You will definitely NOT go wrong in booking a hunt with him - he knows bears and he knows bear hunting with a bow.
