The Fall Bear Camp

Post by Big John »

Well this years Bear Camp at my place is going to be Aug. 27 to Sept. 4.
Since this is my own, it's "no charge" to whoever comes. It's a great gathering of Excal members who want a good Bear Hunt!
We have Great food, great Baits, excellent hunting area, and usually perfect weather.
This year I decided to add one more to the camp. Someone who is a complete Bear Hunting Newbie! :D This makes for great stories and reports daily.

So this year I'm taking the following Forum members:
Normous
Bellerivercrossbowhunter
Racking up points (the newbie)
Alfred
Myself

I'm hoping to go 5 for 5 this season, last season we went 4 for 4!
Stay tuned for pics and stories much later in the season.
As well, anyone heading for spring Bear, GOOD LUCK!!!

John, I can't possibly thank you enough for this opportunity. Hunting bears has been lifelong dream for me. When I was a teenager, my uncle was my hunting mentor and he had a cabin in the bear woods. He killed them with a longbow and that left an impression on me...the idea of man with sticks and string against a real beast. It is something I really look forward to. To say I'm thrilled is a huge understatement. I am counting down the days...

I'll probably never be in a position to join in on something this nice. :roll:
But I'm curious as to the cost of license and bear tags in Canada for guys who live south of the border ?

Norm, that's not all they say the bear gall does, if I was you guys don't let him eat it until you're almost home....otherwise lock your doors and keep your sleeping bags zipped tight! :shock: :lol: :lol: :lol:
I really wish you all the best time, great luck and big bears. :wink:

LOL

The fall Bear camp is a great time for all of us. Now hurry up & get here... :)

I have a feeling it will be an all Micro fest. Except for that one compound bow that show's up every year.. :)

A touch of frost has heightened your awareness and your heart steadily beats in anticipation. Your senses are suddenly alert to the movement on the forest floor and you realize that the moment of truth is at hand.

Gene, perhaps Ontario is different but I know in B.C., as a non resident alien you can only legally hunt with a registered outfitter.
