Big Grass Outfitters

Strong north west winds blowing for the last few days, lots of migrators have arrived over night andove rpast few days. Bird hunters arrive on 24th

Preparation for Goose and duck hunting, socks on socks off, Warren and Chico checked out the decoys nad blind to make sure all is ready… only a few days till hunters arrive

Vinnie while out visiting with the hunters uses the 22 mag and puts this red squirrel down.. Pass ing the time in bear camp covers a lot of things..A young fellow seems to find lots of things todo.

Away Outdoors pro staff Wes J. used Dead Down Wind for scent control while hunting this awesome black bear at fall bear camp.. Circling the stand this bear is not sure if he can smell Wes or the Anise we sprayed on Tys boots before he went up to sit in the camera stand..

While in bear camp Away Outdoors does some promo shots..Some sponsors of the Hunting show are Outdoor edge knives..Tom uses this swing away knife to make the first cut on bears and whitetail.. Bear Scents bacon flavor is a great attractant when hunting bears..

Sun finally decided to shine in Manitoba today long enough for Jules and Brett to get some sharp shooting in.. Many shells later, many less gophers in the farmers field and many laughs too Brett and Jules now can say they shot Mini Prairie Dogs in Manitoba or we call them Richardson Pocket Gophers…

Brett and Jules are pumped to see if they could take a coyote while in Manitoba..Not far away we have a good pop so 630am off we go. Sitting waiting for sun to rise and out comes the Whilly fellow.. Brett clicks the safety off and pop he puts the dog to the ground… Going across the field with the truck we nearly get stuck in low area.. Just what we would have needed 655 am stuck in field… Now he has another hide to travel back to Austrailia after tanning…Way to go Maites….

First time bear hunter, Brett is pumped he has come all this way for a Black bear..Jules got hers now he is after his.. in walks this unique bear.. sizing up the bear to the barrell, pulling to full draw and he lets fly.. Great pass through great shot and Bear is down.. He radios Judy and just 20 yds from the site there the Manitoba Black bear lays..Afull Body mount is  in the plans after  this hide reaches Austrailia… Now he cannot wait till he can come back for A MONSTER he is thinkin already..  Way to go Mate….

Bear hunting is a must for Bernie of Wisconsin.. 3rd year in camp over 80 years of age and still going strong.. 4 th nite in the stand 5th bear and he puts this bruzer on the ground.. But what really had him disapointed was at 5 in walked a bear twice this size and did n ot give hime a shot.. Stood behind the tree lookin g up at Don with the video camera and then just walked out not giveing me a shot.. I am so disapointed he was a Monster…likely larger than the 20 4/16bc that he took the first year at Big Grass. congrats Bernie on a great bear.

After sitting in the stand Monday nite in pouring rain, Tuesday not seeing a bear Scott finally puts this 6fter with an awesome white blaze to the ground. After smaller bear showed earlier and lay down just behind the stand Scott is wondering if he is got a bad omen against him. But just a few minutes later up walks this bruzer slowly enters the site and not even getting to the bait the 45-70 blasts out the shoulder. Scotts heart settles down and he decides tos ee where the bear went.. as he passes the barrels he sights a huge amount of red blood ..great moving down the hill more, and then he hears the death moan from just feet away..then after calling  Judy on the radio for over an hour he has his Manitoba Black Bear …The Oak Tree stand has been renamed to the M. Poppins stand as Scott worried if the strong winds and and a umbrella in his hand would have lifted him off and sailed across the valley.
