The work days there are very long for Ryan and the guides — easily over 16 hours. The phone service out in the bush is zero. Be patient with Ryan. He will get back to you.

I can really relate to the frustration of not having a phone called returned. In my professional life, if I didn't get the courtesy of a return phone call....It might be a lot harder for that individual to find me when they needed help. I hated playing the game, but I couldn't waste time chasing folks down that didn't want to call back. We eventually would always find a good working relationship.

I was up at Stickflingers that week with smokin joe and I can attest to the work hours of the guides. One night, they didn't get in until 4:30am and was back at it running baits a couple of hours later. I told my guide that he looked 'like warmed over death'. Cell service didn't exist in the field.

All that said, I'm pretty sure Ryan will get back with you Terry.

To agree with my fellow camp mates on this hunt, our guides could not have worked harder or been more accommodating.  Mike and Mike had to deal with Biblical Rains washing out access roads and pre-set bait sites.

They did a great job of getting us to the stands, which we very well placed for a short range bow shot.  The guides would move stands if you asked or create ground blinds.  Mike, the shorter, told me what direction the bear would come from and the stand was placed perfectly for the shot; however, my shot was not perfect, not a killing shot, so there is a big boar still hanging around there.

Outstanding experience with our guides and our Bed-N- Breakfast hosts, Gord and Shelley.

I am at the tent camp and took a 6’8” boar last night.  Great hunt.  Short for me this year.  Now I hope my buddies have some success.

A 6’6” and another 6’8” were taken last night and another was missed.  Good action for as cold and wet as it is.
