Congrats again Ryan, what a great bear.

It was a pleasure to share this hunt with you and help get it all on film. I am still amazed at how quietly your bear came in to the bait.  12 yards away and we didn't hear a thing. I'm glad I took my eyes off the bear behind us to check the camera and saw the one at the bait.

Thanks again for the opportunity to sit for an evening and enjoy all the sights, sounds and smells of the autumn forest in Manitoba.  We are truly blessed to live in this province with exceptional black bear hunting an hour from our doorsteps and to have families that understand our need to be in the woods.

Well done my friend.  I'm already counting the days until spring.

[Mike Vines]

Well done Ryan.  Nice story and excellent bear.  Looking forward to spending some time with you next year and learn as much as I can about bears from you.

Hey Ryan, do all your hunters in 2014 get one of those blades? haha!!! Hey I'm looking for a return match on that blonde bear that escaped me on my last visit. This will probably be my last bear hunt, as I would sure like to add a nice moose, or elk to my wall. Looking forward to the hunt, see you soon, Gary

Way to go Ryan!  Is it 2015 yet?  Can't wait.

Congrats Ryan!  Always a lot more to a hunt than a kill and you certainly had a special one.

[Manitoba Stickflinger]

Thanks guys! Seems as though everyone here just gets it...y'know...that I can be pumped to have shot the smallest bear I've shot in 20 years and understand it's not just about a score. Appreciate the attitudes here more than anything!!!

As far as all you Stickflingers coming up in the next few years, you'll have to talk to Big Sexy about blades and invent a time machine to get here faster! I too wish I had a fast forward button...Ryan

[Guru]

Ryan I always look forward to any thread from you as they are always worth reading every single word....this one for sure didn't disappoint!

Thank you and congrats brother

So glad you were successful...  It must be difficult to get in your own quality hunts, having a guide service and needing to take care of your customers first.
