First off, sorry I havn't been updating. Don't worry though, I havn't forgotten you. I started a new job, and moved to a new town. I've also been hunting hard. So far I passed on a bunch of does and some small bucks, but there's a few weeks and three tags left. I'm in a new area, right in the middle of the season, and I'm still learning where to hunt. Here's hoping I don't actualy get skunked for the first time ever.

Back from Churchill. It turns out I couldn't get that Caribou hunt in. I did find a younger polar bear though (apparently its early in the season for those critters yet). Watch for pictures on the boards when I get around to loading them onto the computer. Back to deer hunting this weekend for me.

Just a quick update for the pass thru crew. I'm leaving this saturday to go to churchill, and I'll be gone for about 10-11 days for work. I'm going to have a couple free days in there, and I fully intend to bring my bow, however, my focus won't be on the good old white-tail (I"m not even sure if you can find them that far north). I'm buying a tag for a game animal I've never been able to hunt before, Caribou . That being said, if I so happen to see a good buck instead, I'll be putting my arrow in him.

I shower with plain water the night before, and wash my hunting cloths in warm water with no soap, and hang to dry. I mind the wind when I hunt, and have managed to stalk into bow range of bear, moose, whitetail, elk, and a grey wolf...In my opinion, you don't need scent blocker products. And even if you use them, you'll be busted all the same if you don't pay attention to the environment.

In my opinion (and its just an opinion) Savage is the way to go if you want good quality on a buget.

Sorry I didn't get on the name debate. Busy hunting This weekend I didn't even see anything that made me want to take my bow of the hook. But the seasons still early.

There are a few in Manitoba, and we have the spring hunt available here. A quick Google will get you quite a few names.

I've been trying to take my fiancee hunting since we met. She did come for a few hours of waterfowl hunting with me once, but didn't enjoy the walk in the marsh or the carrying of dead geese....

My eyes are still good enough I can just take my glasses off when they fog up to much...

Savage bolt action in 7mm Rem Mag. with a bushnell 3-9x40 .303 British (modified to remove the bayonette lugs and add scope rings) with same model bushnell 3-9x40. NEF .50 Muzzel loader with a Bushnell 4x fixed scope Safari Arms .50 muzzel loader caplock with open sights.

Well, I was at my taxidermist today, and picked up my bear skull. Some quick eyeballing with a tape measure and it looks like it might make 18" (Pope and Young minimum). Makes me kind of peeved my bow chose in the stand trying to draw down on the bear to malfunction on me....But I'm still impressed with that number. I'll measure more carefuly tonight and post some pictures.

Hey team #19 ;p. Just caught the team posts, and am checking in. I'll be hunting Manitoba exclusivly. I get three cracks at bucks. One Archery, one Muzzle loader, and one general season. My archery season is alreay open. Going for my first attempt this comming monday. Good luck guys.

Currently a field medic with Canadian army. Working on getting onto the local police force. If that don't work out I'm looking into corrections.

Well, 40 year old men still living with mommy doesn't realy reflect life as I know it either. I found it a funny movie, dirty language and all.

I would definatly love a chance to get one of the "Endangered" polar bears from Churchill. I would put in for that draw every year, and take the train ride up every time I drew the tag. On a side note, can someone please explain how polar bears are endangered when thier population is about 3 or 4 times higher then they've ever been observed to be?
