Big Grass Outfitters

John takes oats from barrel to place to pails to put to a few baits which are oats are getting low. We would put in a whole barrel. Some oat barrels were empty in just 1 week and some after 3 weeks are showing sign of getting low. We do not want barrels to get completely empty or bears will move to another area.

Whos chair at the end of the table was this on? Someone had a birthday in camp besides Tom. Who does it fit? There were many stories and laughs over this little item which hung on the wall by the stove. Where is it now? Roumer has it it went east in a Ford Truck in Manitoba and the Little Shit laughed all the way home. No I was not the culprit this time. But I hear Better watch your back in Spring bear 2011 because pay back will be sweet Old Ears has a memory as long as his trunk!!!!!   The saga will be solved in Apr 2011. We will keep you posted.

Brad takes his bow and also his muzzleloader to the stand first night. It is amazing how much self confidence you get with a unloaded muzzleloader when a bear climbs your tree. First night this did happen by a smaller bear and then a larger bear came in at dark when Brad could no see the pins of his site. Maybe tomorrow.

Empty barrels can go home now. Every year we take afull barrel of oats in and the empty one comes out. Every barrel is cleaned out as if the pressure washer had been used. Not a kernal of oats or anything left in the barrels I am not sure how they get thier foot to the bottom to gt  it all but htey do. You can see some barrels are kind of dinted and bent this is from Bears not Judy running into them. The power in the forearms of those bruins is amazing when the chains are twisted and stretched like a elastic band. these barrels will get filled with oats and grease we will take some for fall bear and rest are ready for next spring stored in the barn so local bear visitors cannot help themselves.

Spring is here when you start to see first hatches of these little fellows. Mama has them out in the water before I can get close but every year I love to try to pick one up, however sometimes not such a good scene when Judy is getting chased with a Mad Mama.

Dave catches all his hunt on the video what an awesome bear to take with his muzzlelaoder. I know it is not huge but it is exactly the color I was looking for. Wait for clip to be uploaded to youtube. Way to go Dave Firstt on the pole this  3rd week.

 

Dave came with his muzzleloader this time. Weather is to be raining which it is spitting right now. Dave what is on the barrel of your muzzleloader? A hat for a muzzleloader !!!

Tom, Brian, Ray, Dave and Brad and Brett arrive  to hunt bear. Well enough said for now we will wait to see how week goes as there could be a few fluffed stories before week is finished. But main focus is for Brian AKA Mikey to see a bear!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Finally a nice afternoon to enjoy a good cigar. Terry and Virgil  brought these from Texas as a gift for Tom along with some great meat rubs and seasonings.

Every week or even after every day of baitng we do a washdown of the bikes. This give us an opportunity to see if boots are cut, Always is nice to get into a kind of clean vehicle and with pouring rain the mud gets pretty thick on the trucks and quads.
