Leaving to hunt Bear in Canada in 16 days....

[deerslayer75]

Today it was 22 degrees Monday it is supposed to be 18 in Laronge SK. by Wednesday it could be 22.
If you have not seen a lot of sun, yes you should have lotion on.
Maybe you'll be hiding in the trees in a T shirt.

well be fishing in the mornings and in the woods in the afternoon/evenings so prolly better bring some just to be safe!

Good idea.
Have fun. Bears and Pickeral, sounds like a camp fire dinner waiting to happen.

Well just got back from bear had some good and bad luck. shot a nice bear, made a good shot all on film and then couldnt find bear. we tracked him for around 100yds with good blood found where he laid in water and sealed his wound and we lost the blood.

 

[BRICKBURN]

You had a good hunt and that is very bad luck. Sorry on all fronts to hear that result w/o finding the bear.

 

[sestoppelman]

Sorry to hear that. I know what it feels like to hit an animal and not recover it. It hurts.

 

[Blaserman]

Make the first shot count, Good Luck.

 

[Diamondhitch]

Sorry to hear that. Did you shoot him with bow or gun?

 

[enysse]

i enjoyed myself thats for sure! Another big plus was a guy who came on trip almost passed away 6 months ago and killed a bear while we were there so that made the trip great!

[deerslayer75]

also just finalized my next bear hunt...next may will be in Idaho for bear. The area is about 75% color phase.

 

[Diamondhitch]

Sound good what is the success rate there?

 

[deerslayer75]

last year only 1 guy didnt kill...this year they have had 16 hunters with 13 kills...the first week up there they had a heavy snow and bears werent coming to baits.

 

[Diamondhitch]

Thats why its called hunting and not shooting. Sounds like a great hunt.

Baiting is great (unless you are doing the baiting yourself) but one day I would like to try chasing them with dogs, its illegal up here. I think that would be an exciting hunt.
