Manitoba bear hunt openings

Manitoba Stickflinger · December 16, 2010, 10:59:00 PM

Jon....no problem, there`s always the next 20 years to plan a hunt up here. I know what it`s like to get that whitetail bug....it`s an aweful disease. Did I ever mention one year I hunted 52 straight days before killing one of the bucks I was after. I was so jacked when he showed up that I didn`t hit him till the third shot. That`s one story for the campfire. See what I`m doing here.....I`m baiting you! I`m really good at baiting but please don`t call me the master of baiting if you know what I`m saying!!! Let me know when you`re ready to come up....Ryan

Careful Ryan.. or we're gonna start calling you "Ninefeathers" ;D

Manitoba Stickflinger · December 16, 2010, 11:53:00 PM

Still trying to figure out when and where the Army is going to send me before I can make any hunting plans...but Manitoba is on the top of my list!!!

SteveO, what week will you be in camp? Tyler and I will be in week #1. I received Tyler's grades yesterday and he had all "A"s for like the 3rd semester in a row. For those of you that know Tyler, you are probably really surprised. Despite his seemingly carefree attitude and lack of attention, he is really brilliant. I have a hard time beating him at Cash Cab and Jeopardy. Anyway, I thought I would give him a little gift for his great grades and broke the news to him and had him watch all the videos on Ryan's website. To say he was excited is an understatement. He's been grabbing the bow and trying to shoot in frigid weather. I'm gonna set up a target in the basement for him. Ryan, I can only get about 10 yards in the basement, so set the stands CLOSE!

Manitoba Stickflinger · December 17, 2010, 11:33:00 AM

Terry....10 yards is more than enough. We could always do 10 yards on the ground????

IndianaBowman · December 17, 2010, 12:21:00 PM

That sounds fun! I love the video of you and your dad on the ground. I think I have an old Red Wing hunter. Take a look at the photo I sent of Tyler with the gator. Is that a Red Wing bow?

Tyler is a great shot to begin with, but I'll have him shooting awesome. He's a confident kid and doesn't get rattled easy. He's shot some very big whitetails and would've jumped in and wrestled the gator if I would've let him.

Steve O · December 17, 2010, 05:38:00 PM

Terry,

PMd you AND e-mailed you.

Ryan--10 yards is good for me too

Manitoba Stickflinger · December 18, 2010, 04:39:00 PM

Steve...with that new longbow you should be able to reach out to at least 11 yards?... especially as it'll be a 7 footer!

Bel007 · December 18, 2010, 06:54:00 PM

7 foot longbow ??? Come on guy's...You won't be needen that much heat.

5'4" or 5'6" should be plenty of bow.

:D :p :D

Hey TG'ers...between all the people booking and cancelling I thought I'd bring this to the top with current openings.

Just a reminder that there are 16 baits with maximum 5 hunters in camp for a week. The weeks with 3 hunters mean that each hunter could hunt a different bait every night and we'd still have a left-over at the end of the week.

I managed to rent a cabin on the lake for the month up there which makes for nice atmosphere and a dry place to sleep.Still looking for input on portable showers? Who's had good/bad luck with certain kinds? Oh yeah...the updated openings are the 1st post of the thread.

Thanks guys....Ryan

Jesse Minish · January 03, 2011, 04:32:00 PM

Looks like a fun hunt! Nice web site enjoyed the videos too.

Steve O · January 03, 2011, 08:58:00 PM

OK Mr. Manitoba, the longbow will be here at the end of the month and I have the best wood arrow guy in the world lined up to make sure I have some that work

jonsimoneau · January 03, 2011, 09:08:00 PM

I want in on this SOOO bad. I just can't swing it though this year due to other hunting obligations. Hopefully next year.

Steve O · January 04, 2011, 07:32:00 AM

Jon, maybe I can twist your arm just a little in Kalamazoo...

zipper bowss · January 04, 2011, 08:25:00 AM

Hey Jon,I'm saving my pennies.I'm planning to take Tracy for a graduation present.She will be completing her masters degree in 2 years.She is hooked on bear hunting.It would be great to hunt with you again.Maybe, Tracy and your lady would hit it off.

Manitoba Stickflinger · January 05, 2011, 05:56:00 PM

Steve....We'll get you close enough that any arrow will do. Heck....I got a guy possibly coming up with stone points.

As far as the ladies in camp...hope no-one is looking for a day spa???

Steve O · January 05, 2011, 10:56:00 PM

Well, we have a bamboo arrow pro with us, but no stone points. Mitten may just decide to go with hand to paw combat!

mb bowman · January 07, 2011, 07:39:00 PM

Hi everyone,

I thought I should introduce myself since I am Ryan's "Number 1 Guide" in camp this spring. I am really anticipating a good season with many monster colour phase bears hitting the ground. Can't wait to meet everyone in camp and make some history (camp tales).

Hey Brian, did Ryan tell you that I am the 4 yard champ? So you might have some competition during the camp shoot. Oh ya, what kind of cigars do you like

?
