Bear huntin season!

[icequeen]

Well we had a blast the last few days. Night before last we had a huge fish fry, never even made it into the house cause we all gathered around the fish pot and munched on Lakers and BSed til the weee hours of the morning. Two went home without a bear but one is working in Northern Ontario for the next couple of months and will be back his next weekend off, the other lives about two hours away and will be back next weekend.

The first bear was 120lbs wrenchman, and no neither one of them had a blaze. Looks like we're cleaning out that gene pool cause we're getting a few like that the last couple of years.

We have more guys coming later this week so I've got a couple days to clean up and get ready for them, which is good cause I got a whack of laundry to do. lol



Nulle...I'll have to get back to you bout how much the camps are charging for a hunt this year. We still haven't succeeded in getting our own BMA so we can only invite Ontario Residents to hunt with us, and can't legally charge for a hunt.

All the guys we invite are from Southern Ontario who don't usually get a chance to hunt bear, most of them it's their first time. Then you get the guys like the second one to take a bear, who we invited for his first ever bear hunt three years ago, and waits on pins and needles for an invite every year. lol
Some are complete strangers to us who are recommended by folks we know, like the first guy to take a bear, who I'm sure will be back next year. We are still working on getting a BMA but it's a long tedious process, and can be really hard on the pocket book.

And yes...even with all the work we have a great time with a great bunch of guys every year. Today is a quiet day since it's raining so tomorrow will be laundry/cleanup, Wednesday is a full day of appointments etc, then Thursday we start the next round. When they're done hubby and I will hit our own baits. There's a huge guy hittin my bait so I'll be lookin for him, but any good sized bear is okay with me. Hubby also has a bruiser hittin his bait. Last year we both got exactly the same sized bear so maybe this year I'll get lucky and get the bigger of the two.

do you ever work for the lodges i use to do a lot of fishing around wawa and there were a lot of them

We worked for a camp not far from here for a few years after we moved down here. But they started screwing us, and the hunters, around so we told them where to shove it.


I've got more hunters coming in today but I thought you might like to see this guy. He officially has a target on his butt now cause he broke my trail cam.




I dunno when I'm gonna get a chance to get out myself but I'll for sure be looking for him, he annoyed me. lol

Well no bear were taken this weekend and yesterday I just couldn't convince myself that I wanted to sit in my stand, instead of the pool, when it was 97degrees in the shade. Maybe next weekend when it's a little cooler we'll have better luck.

its nice bear hunting weather here.. we have had a colder than normal summer.. only one week of temps above 25C... and tons of rain.. so much I thought I was living in Vancouver again.

Hopefully it will cool down so the bears will be moving for you
