Ontario cancelled the spring bear hunt a few years ago and don't seem to be in a hurry to restore this hunt.

SPRING BEAR
FOLKS ,
I just got back from a bear hunt in Manitoba. 7 archers in camp -7 bears.
I was the only hunter using a crossbow . Thanks to Dan Miller I have been using slick Tricks , the bear went only 50 or 60 yards with a really large blood trail .I've shot deer with 12 gauge slugs that didn't have a blood trail that visable .
It was not my biggest bear-in fact I waited until Friday trying to get a color phase-but it didn't happen .NO complaints !Good trip-met 5 hunters from NC & we all had a nice time.
Sandy Rivers Outfitters ( Harry Walker ) run a first class operation-they will see me again for a muzzleloader deer hunt.

The only way we will get a spring bear hunt is if someone convinces the Conservatives that all bears are Liberal, then we will have an open season.Its all politics.
Excalibur Exomax and Arctic Cat 400 auto. Life don't get much better than that.
Soup, Congratulations on your Bear. I just got back this past weekend from Bear hunting at Taggart Bay Lodge, Laniel Quebec. I shot a good bear the first night on stand. It did'nt go far ,maybe 25 yds. 125 gr. T-heads, 2219 excalibur bolt and a luminok on the end. My only regrets is that I got out to the stand a little late and did'nt bring the video camera! That would be cool to see all that again ! The luminok lit up and I could easily see the red streak the whole way to the vitals. I'll be back again next year. I would be interested in hunting somewhere that you could take a color phase or a second bear. Do you have any info on your outfitter?
