Manitoba Black Bearhunting

January 7, 2019 by Big Grass

Jeff H returns May 2018 to take a colored bear is what was planned. Bears are not planners when we are hunting….. They arrive if they are hungry and if there is what they want at the barrel… After sticking this great bear with his easton arrow and the skull went to the beetles. it came back as 17 3/16 just short of Boone and Crocket bear score here in Manitoba… But still a great bear.. His other 2 bears 18 8/16 and 20 1/16 if they’d been taken with his bow they’d made book….. Anyway what a great trophy black bear Jeff harvested in May 2018

TBT Manitoba Bear hunting 2014

December 12, 2018 by Big Grass

Have you heard of North America Hunting Club?

In 2004 NAHC and Big Grass partnered with a Life Member hunt. 8 Life members came to camp and had the opportunity of harvesting a Black Bear. Over 50% colorphase was harvested that week..

Good shooting with Rifles and Bows make the pic taking a Plus. Lots of field pictures and happenings while in camp made memories to last a life time. Along with hunting bear we hunted with the bow and 17Hmr gophers which are small prairie dogs in agricultural land in Manitoba.

The group photo of this monster Colorphase bear was the highlight of the group, Jim took it with his 30-06 in a new stand and area we had not hunted much.. This was a real marketing photo for years to come.

Beavers is a source of bear food.

February 13, 2018 by Big Grass

Dandelions

Beaver trapper

Bears Big Mac

What do you think is a Bears favorite food?

Well in Manitoba Spring bear hunting, Beaver parts, carcass, not the hide but the body and internals is high protein. After a long winter they come out of hybernation hungry. Beavers can be out sutting small sapplings for food and because a bear can out run a Beaver they hav learned to follow the beaver dams to access easy food.. They will also pull apart a Beaver hut to get into get the kittens.

When we use the parts of the carcass, we cut them up with a band saw into small pieces and place in bait barrel , if you leave a whole beaver at the site the big old bear will come along and take the one carcass , go away have a feast then he doesn’t need to return to site for couple days… Then we put top back on barel so it is not easy access to the bait.

Spring means Dandelions,

this is also another favorite food, the white mile in the dandelion stem is very sweet and the bears eat this to make their stomachs start to work in the spring… If you are in an area where there are lots of Dandelions the bears can stop coming to the baits for a couple of days while they are filling their bellies with Dandelions..

WE have a local First Nations Trapper who traps beaver , he gets the bounty of the tail , sells the stretched or raw beaver pelt and we pay him so this is another source of income for him.. We have known this fellow for a long time he has some great stories for us when we sit and have coffee. the hunters love to listen to his tails of the wilderness.

Manitoba Winter

February 11, 2018 by Big Grass

How do you stay warm in Manitoba Winter?

Honey its cold out

More Peanut butter needed!~

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.

Bear hunting in Manitba

September 14, 2016 by Big Grass

stc_0106 Would you take either of these bears? Bear pops are high in Manitoba, little black is feeding at the apples and oat barrel out back and the nice blonde was at the yard in spring. However too bad he wouldnt stay away from local farmers dog dish so he was put down.. He would of made a beauty in a few years. Locals can protect their farms and animals from predators.

Manitoba Ice Fishing Derby in the Russell area.

February 27, 2016 by Big Grass

Our 7th annual Ice fishing Derby on Lake of the Prairies held Feb 27, Judy did the photos at the derby.. You know the Papparazzii thing she is always got the camera.. Well 556 people attended 1200 holes were drilled, we caught 39 fish, Northern Pike, Walleye, and Perch.. largest fish 68cm Northern Pike took home $12500. second fish 64cm northern $5000, Winners choice raffle tickets and she took home a Polaris Side by side.. not bad for a little ice fishing derby here in Manitoba. If it wasnt for our volunteers and our local sponsors we would not survive.. but it brings some Tourism $$ in and some good fishing stories of the one HE didnt catch.. but all have FUN IN MANITOBA!

Local MWF competition

December 10, 2015 by Big Grass

Every year ear after the hunting seasons are complete we meet and show off our trophies, tell great white hunting stories of the ones that got away. Youth and adult largest deer, 40 in Northerns and 29 in walleye. Our whitetail herd slowly rebounds after the cold tough winters which some animals did not survive. But 15/16 winter has been a very easy winter on the deer , even some hilltops are showing grass for them to pick at.

Manitoba whitetail Buck Night

December 3, 2015 by Big Grass

Russell Big Buck Nite over 20 heads were brought in to be scored and for show.. Some great animals masses of 3.5-4 inches is always great to see on our trophies. Our past winters and the pressure of predators has had a negative effect on our whitetail herd of late.. the Conservation has limited our season to 2 weeks with only Bucks to be harvested, hopefully giving our herd a chance to rebound.. Now just finished the second year we are already seeing the results of this.. Bigger bodied animals, larger horns, but our numbers still have not rebounded to the numbers we would want in our area. We have a good number of Youths showing up with nice horns so our hunting enthusiasts are still in the field, young and old…
