Leaving to hunt Bear in Canada in 16 days....

16 days and I leave for canada for my first bear hunt!!! I am very excited. Taking both bow and gun. Do first 3 days with bow if cant make it happen I will switch to gun. Will be hunting in Saskatchewan in a good color phase area.

Let us know how it went. Best of luck!

Good Luck.
The bears are starting to come out.
It is snowing right now but that should make for some green up in the next 2 weeks. Lots of buds and grass for the bears.

Safe travel and good luck for the hunt Deerslayer.

12 degrees celsius?

Yep it is a late spring this year. I travel around 350km per day in prime bear country and have only seen 2 sets of Grizzly track and no blackies yet. With the way the snow is melting and water running I am sure they are being flooded out of thier dens as we speak. Coming out 3-4 weeks late should make for some excellent hides with no rubs.

Good luck on your hunt SK has some great bear hunting.

If you have not seen a lot of sun, yes you should have lotion on.
Maybe you'll be hiding in the trees in a T shirt.
