I'll start, 2011 will be my first year hunting bears or anything for that matter with a bow. I haven't personally hunted in the last 2 years, I was guiding in 09-10. I can't wait to sit in the stand with my bow & see what happens!

 I have a few things to get ready before the season starts, get the meat barrells out & build a couple shaker barrells. I won't hang stands until the snow is gone.

Come on April!!!!!

This will be my sons first bear hunt.  We are going to Burntwood lake lodge in Manitoba. He will be shooting a recurve for the first time. My 83 year old uncle will be going also.  I am really excited. We will be hunting on the ground with a shotgun backup. This will be a first.

I will be hunting here in Manitoba on my personal baits during the first week of May. After that I will be guiding bears for Stickflingers Manitoba Bowhunts. To say I am excited about this upcoming season is an understatement!

Mr. HUNT 24/7,
Yep, am building a new set of arrows in anticipation of the hunt for Grizz this Spring.  Still a couple of months before they will be out of hibernation, here in the Interior.
Best Wishes

im taking my 17 year old son to Manitoba with Adrenalin Outfitters to do some bear hunting this June.  I've taken one bear a few years back and my son has never shot a bear.  Can't wait for my trip!!!

My ex (from Chicago originally) called me once (whispering) and asked me if it was bear season one spring (N. Indiana)

I patiently explained that Indiana didnt have a bear season.....and if any bears, dang few maybe down on the far south border but doubted it.

She, just as patiently, explained to ME that she was sorry but there WAS a bear in her back yard!

Scratching my head, I asked her to describe it.

Gathering steam (      :mad:      picture weeping and nashing of teeth)she told me that SHE NEW WHAT A *** **** BEAR LOOKED LIKE and there was one in her back yard!!!      :scared:    

I asked her what it was doing.

She told me it was eating grass around her flowers.

Suddenly, a light bulb appeared above my head.

Ah HAAAAAA!!

"Is it over by that hole near the bottom of the sycamore tree?" I asked?

"YES!!" She sighed     :help:    

"oh...(giggle)....well hon..........thats a groundhog."

     :goldtooth:    

That's as close to "bear" hunting as I've gotten.

True story.....God Bless her heart.

Going to Manitoba toward the end of May.  Going with my dad and two cousins.  Fishing all morning and hunting in the evenings, should be a great time.

  Don't worry Slowbowke I once spent 30 mins putting a stalk on a "bear" in Colorado.  I was in a thicket and could see the top of a little aspen being pulled apart, once in a while I would see some dark spot move.  Will long story short it ended up being the world record porcupine.    :knothead:

I look forward to doing the local bear hunting here on Prince of Whales Island.  I passed on some nice bears last year, hoping to come across that 8 footer.  I've seen one 8 footer, but I did not have my bow at the time.  I also have a trail camera picture of him, but he was too wise to come in when I was ready.  
It seems like a lot of people are heading into Canada this year.  Best of luck and post some pictures of your adventure.
