Nice pics Oldway!
I grew up in Eastern SK, and still have a lot of family in LaRonge that i head over to see every year or two.

There are some great colour phase bears in that Province!

Nice bears Oldway. This time of year can be summed up in one word, anticipation.

Just got the Tall Tines, and am hoping that I will be ready for the end of April beginning of May, so I can have a chance at one myself.

Then off to bear camp for 1 month. If the weather cooperates it should be another doozy of a year! Good luck to all!

The biggest topic of discussion in any bear camp is always how to decide when a bear is big enough to shoot...take a look at the first two of oldways pics and make it easy for yourself...crease down the middle of the head, ears over on the side of the head...arrow on its way...i would love to show you the pic of the smallish sow i shot last spring but my cameraman ran the battery on his phone dead talking to his girlfriend
I set out a while ago to reduce my herd of 40 bows...And I am finally down to 42

Back to Manitoba for me too.  I may have to show mb bowman how to shoot that new Talltines.  Anticipation is definitely the word.

I was scouting out deer sign on the state land behind my house last weekend. Not a lot of snow,maybe about an inch. I'll be darned if I didn't find a set of bear tracks coming out of a balsam swamp. The temps. had been in the upper thirties and fourties for a few days. Now it's cold again, about 20 dgrs at night. I almost think they semi hibernate here in the allegheny area of the state.Wish i could hunt them in the spring. Thats the time of year I see them. Half the time it's when their in my yard.   :dunno:
