Sitting in the Rain in Manitoba
First bear hunt in Manitoba
John K of AZ first time bear hunter lives his dream to hunt black bear in Manitoba May 28, 18… he was looking for a Color and in the dusk first nite this one looked Brown but last light can be deceiving. John watches another smaller bear at the bait and then this much larger arrives..
Time to Fish
Johns next challenge is to fish for walleye from the shore which is not done in Arizona. But he is thrilled when he catches his first then second and has a stringer. Next day wow a 24 incher which the slot on Lake of the Prairies is over 12 and under 18 but a picture and memories is what John has..Way to go John on yoru Manitoba Trophies.
Colorphase bears in Manitoba at Big Grass Outfitters
HE said only One!
Well his 4th trip and he gets the Color phase he was wanting 2 years ago. 7pm May 28 with his Hoyt in hand, and Rage Broad heads he nails this trophy while standing in the stand in Manitoba. Jeff has done the time and has taken good bears while hunting with Big Grass. Hes passed on some took a good bear to then watch a monster come in later.
Does he need any more?
Not likely but once you have harvested one Bear it is like a disease you want to harvest another. When you are not in the stand and time allows we take time to sit at the Lake of the Prairies to do some fishing.. Here he pulled in a Northern Pike on Johns Rod and even smiled for the picture.
Activity at the baits weas good Old fuzzy butt attended regularly filling his belly on Big Grass Oats and Grease and the tastey beaver bait. We hope he gains lots of weight so someone can see him this fall.
Big Grass Big Black Bear
Buddy nails this 6 ft monster with his Kimber 30-06. He watched a sow and cubs Wednesday nite and listened to a Ruffy Grouse do the mating call all evening withing 20 yds behind the stand.
Night four to the Park stand to have a doe walk near bottom of stand by 530. Wow I thought I was Bear hunting! he says… 730 2 young bear arrive to check out the menu at Big Grass… Patience she Says! A Big Boar!! Do you believe everything an Outfitter says? well Buddy was Patient and and hour later he Rocked this Bruin… just minutes after pulling the trigger he heard the death moan. Wow what a Rush!!
Then the next Rush begins.
Llooking for the bear its almost dark. Wow there it is, Chris has no problem locating it about 60 yards from the bait, huge trees laying down it was a jungle back there.. A tarp to wrap it in and start to Tug!
thank gosh for mobiles JUdy Harley HELP!! and they arrive, with the Wolverine wiggle closer winch out and pull that Big Bruin back to the bait.. Winch it up in the box and 6 guys just barely got the the box tipped, heading home for the Glory and to retell the story!
Big Grass Lady Bear hunters
Women are True Marksmen Women hunters are a pleasure to guide during a Black Bear hunt.. Precision is a must, a good kill is a priority. Jess is a seasoned hunter looking for a big Bucket head in 2018. Nicole is amazed how a snap of a twig and he was standing in the site, and she waited for a good shot. Safety off and deep breathe and she pulls the trigger.
Big Grass has guided many Ladies in camp and we make special plans if we have booked a Lady. The anticipation of a bear entering the site shows on a ladies face by the width of the smile when you arrive after the Bear is dead. Detail is ignited with the replay when telling the story of her hunt. Lady hunters young and old are always welcome to Camp.
2018 Spring black bear in Manitoba coming soon!
Are you bear hunting this spring?
Big Grass feels good baiting practices make Good Spring Bear hunts. Barrels with the stable food of Oats and Grease, then the best bear food is Beaver. We place in a barrel with logs or a lid screwed on to give hunter opportunity to determine 1. shooter, 2. good shot, 3. dead bear.
George harvested a great bear after watching him for 2 nights seeing many smaller bear feeding at the barrel. It makes the hair stand on you neck when a large bruin enters the bait, with the slow hesitant walk, like a ghost in the nite. All of a sudden he is there! George hear a snap then he was there the first nite.
Animals of Big Grass
We pass the winter keeping busy with the Big Grass Animals. Wild animals need to be fed during Cold winters, HOWEVER we dont consider red Squirrels part of this family… Our Log Cabins suffer if a red quirrel chooses to locate his home into a Cabin. So standing rule:Dont show your face close to house or cabins or the 410 will blast you from that tree! yep it did… over the years many red squirrels have not lived to tell tale…
Sammy Jo continues to bring the ball, frozen lump of snow or a stick for you to throw.. IN the house or outside she has something to throw.. I always wanted a dog to bring me a stick, Help please have her only retreive 1/2 a day! She’s Judys dog, not spoiled lol, decently behaved, loves to play, and runs like a crazy after a ball or anything.
The Male Chessy of the House Copper! a True Male, spoiled, does the Chessy walk um Im not sure if I want to do that, thinks he should get what he wants. But hes a great retreiver, lots of go, strong body, and will work hard in the field this fall.
