Oh ... and a hearty congrats to those who did get there bears!!!!

The notch on the tree to the left of the bear in my last picture is 35 inches from the ground at that spot. This bear is in a slight depression as well. He is tall!!!

Most of the stands I sat were higher elevation and the trees had not budded. Some of the lower elevation stand sights were all greened up. This may effect bear consentrations in some areas as they begin there quest for food.

Temps were in the 50-60 during most days with lows in mid 20s. Bugs were minimal and I used no repelent. Mike

This was a great hunt. I was fortunate to be able to harvest my first bear on my first bear hunt in the first hour of my sit in the stand. That in itself says loads about the quality of Ryan's operation. I could have maybe sat longer, but a little inexperience on what to expect and judging of bear size influenced me to harvest a bear early. I am extremely exited about my bear and should end up with a great rug. I can't say enough good things about Stickflingers and their operation, as well as their willingness to meet our needs. For a first time bear hunt, Ryan and his staff were patient and helpful in everyway possible. I would post a picture, but I don't know how. Hopefully SteveO will put something on. Make me look good Steve. I had a great time with a great guide and a great group of hunting friends. I learned more in five days with these guys than I had ever learned before. So I will end with this. Ryan, David, Ron, Steve, Gary, Mike, and Brian (TallTines), THANK YOU ALL FOR A MEMORABLE HUNT.

Hearing reports of some big bears, sounds like a great hunt. Let's see those Manitoba bruins.

Mike- Your group should hit it right for big boars coming in looking for sows.
Ryan and David have a good handle on which baits are showing color. There was a huge color phase that showed up on the last day to one of the baits.
Waiting for a huge trophy boar adds another layer to our challenge as trad bowhunters and is what I like about bear hunting. It is what you make of it. BUT, this place and these folks allow you that opportunity. They do that by providing multiple options for each hunter and by limiting the number of hunters in camp with respect to active baits. There are plenty of bears in this region. Ryan is a great whitetail hunter and it is obvious he is applying some of that knowledge to how he hunts bears. Mike
