Beaver for Bear bait

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.

 

Manitoba Winter

How do you stay warm in Manitoba Winter?

thermometer

Honey its cold out

More Peanut butter needed!~

frost

frosty windows

We get asked it all the time. -25C was the warmest time of the day that day, Wind was blowing 30-40mph, Do you worry about the wind chill?   Dress warm for cold temps, skin and fingers exposed freeze in a few minutes.  Mother Nature draws awesome pictures on windows that are not thermopane.

We continuously feed the wild animals so they don’t freeze,  song birds at the feeder get peanut butter and black sunflowers high in protein for their little bodies to stay warm. Pets stay in the house or heated kennels on bad days but most of our farm animals endure the temps but need extra food to keep their bodies warm.. a Good shelter belt to get out of the wind is much needed.

Are you on the highways? have a Storm kit in the vehicle for safety.  Vehicles should have winter fronts on to keep temps in motor and in cab while driving.  Manitoba Vehicles are equipped with Block heaters to plug in and keep motors warm for easier starting. make sure you drive with the fuel tank above 1/2 not below incase of road conditions changing quickly..  Manitoba has winter driving regs which you must have winter tires on your vehicle before and after certain dates to prevent more accidents.

2018 Spring Bear Hunting Preparation in Manitoba

Have you ever gone on a trophy hunt or did any Trophy hunting? Do you spend time preparing your weapon and yourself for the hunt?  tuning your bow, adjusting the scope for the  bulls eye or even cleaning and oiling your stock and rest of the gun… I would think this is part of the whole hunt…. it would be terrible if the huge bruin walked into the bait, giving you the correct shot and You the hunter missed because your weapon was off…   How disappointing would that be?  Before our hunters go to the bear stand we have them shoot thier gun or bow just to make sure it didnt get bumped in traveling on plane or vehicle..  to all the hunters out there I would think this is part of the hunt.
