Field judging bears can be a real challenge for some. I spent 14 springs guiding bowhunters and the bruin in the above pix illustrates several of the features that I always had my hunters on the lookout for; the space between those ears, pig-like snout, and that forehead "cleft" scream BIG BOAR! Nice-en Brian!

Thanks for taking us along. The better my imagination is stimulated, the more I feel as if I had actually been there.

I sure hope I don't tell someone what a great hunt I had.

Man I better get on here quick, Steve O is stealing all the thunder. We had a great time in camp as you can see by all the pictures. Ryan his dad Ron and their No.1 guide David Heppner made our hunt a big success. I saw several bears including one whopper that would have given Brian's bear a run for its money. There were a good number of color phase bears seen on and off the trail camera's. I was hunting a blonde bear and would have had an opportunity if I wouldn't have chosen the wrong time to sip up my pant leg on my bibs. That bear had came in silent and blended in so good I didn't know it was there until I heard it crash and looked at its back side. That brain fart will stay with me for some time. Anyway I'm booking for next year and I hope blondy makes it. We named that bear Tiffany, can you guess why? I could have shot some black bears but I've got several of them. I really wanted a color phase. Well I guess I'll have to wait till next year. Again hats off to Ryan and all his crew, thanks for the memories!!!!!  :clapper:

Tall Tines week at Stickflingers was certainly an awesome week for me. Meeting all the guys, shooting arrows, and sharing stories made for an enjoyable week that passed too quickly.

The Tall Tines group could possibly be the easiest going group I'll ever have in camp with no complaining and smiling faces regardless of the hunt results or horrible weather.

Manitoba very rarely has east winds so most of the stands are set accordingly. That said, we've been dealing with both weeks of hunters in camp having solely winds from the east. (that's hunting I suppose)

I was taught this past week that trail cameras actually work so will add them to the budget even if they are eventually eaten by bears. Every bait we put them on showed a hog of a bear during daylight hours which was encouraging.

As far as age of the big boar Brian killed....I think it was getting up there since it was a "gummie bear" missing 3 front teeth, including the 2 middle top ones reducing the skull measurement by 1/8-1/4 of an inch. (and it still greens B&C)

Anyhew....Thanks to everyone from the TT group for making my job easy. You're all welcome back any time....Ryan (aka Reehahn)

Just for the curious- we measured Brian's bear incisor width at 2 1/2 inches. The skull green measured just over 21 inches, and the hide squared at 7feet 7inches. The front paw pads were 6 1/8 inches. He gave up a huge pile of meat! Mike
