Those 2 hunts are May 29- June4. I've added a hunter for the following week so the 2 hunters will have run of the 17 baits. The couple extra baits is to accomodate the extra hunter making everyone each week have more possibilities. Let me know!

If it were not so expensive to fly there, I would have done it!

Good luck Ryan!  Can't wait to see some photos.

Heard of a few bears moving up North of Winnipeg.

Steve, pack up the truck and drive. It has to be closer than NY and I'm driving.  :)

Got home at 2:30 am totally exhausted and was up at 7 with the family. Spring certainly is late up there but things are looking good. 7 of the baits already have bears at them this spring even though there is still snow in places. 5 of those 7 baits have MONSTERS on them ..seriously...no small bear sign!

Need to figure out the new camera as a couple pix are blurry. Will post pix later....Ryan

This was the washout I was worried about. Thumbs up that it was an easy cross!

Neat story....Was filling up the bait, and after pouring in grease, this little guy popped out of the barrel covered in grease. He looked at me almost as if to say.."Whatcha do that for?" I took these blurry pix and offered him a stick to climb onto. He climbed on as if he knew the plan and I lowered him to the ground. He stayed there the whole time cleaning himself and occassionally giving me a dirty look. It was certainly interesting!
