Here's a quick, informal update and reminder as to where I'll be going in Canada for a couple weeks of fishing and bear hunting:
Woodland Outfitting - Saskatchewan
McKenzie Outfitters - Manitoba
First I'll hunt bear with Mike Woodward of Woodland Outfitting in Saskatchewan for a week and then I plan to drive over to Manitoba where I'll meet up with "Topgun 3006" (The Talk Forum winner of the United Outfitters Association - FORAHUNT.com FREE MANITOBA BEAR HUNT/FISHING ADVENTURE GIVEAWAY) and we will hop on a float plane and fly into the wilderness of Manitoba with Monty McKenzie of McKenzie Outfitters for another week of trophy black bear hunting.
I talked to Mike Woodward's wife this morning and the bears are hitting the baits hard! There are several large boars visiting these bait stations with many different color phase bears to choose from. There was mention of Mike's trail cameras revealing a couple really big chocolate-colored bears along with several blacks and blonds in the mix.
Monty is already at his camp and baiting his sites for Topgun 3006 and me also. As Monty is deep in the wilderness with only costly satellite phone reception as a way of outside communication we won't know what the baiting situation is until we step off of the plane and speak to Monty. I'm sure he will have things set-up nicely before our arrival.
Well, it will be a long drive -- 3500 miles round trip -- but well worth it in the end. I will see you all when I get back during the first week in June. Hopefully, I'll have some exciting stories and a bunch of pictures to share with you all.
Best of luck to all spring bear and turkey hunters!
Thank you all for your continued support of our Web Site and Talk Forums!
Take care and Good Hunting!
Best Afield,
Steve
