Think Spring?  It's pretty hard to think spring when we had -60'F with the wind chill! We are gearing up for another successful black bear season we have some great dates left for 2019 - May 6-10, May 13-17, and May 17-21.  

If it's your first time bear hunting, not to worry Tim and Lee are knowledgeable when it comes to bear hunting, they will make sure you have a  successful hunt. Our guests  get involved in the baiting and are taken to many different bait sites.

Our hunting camp is deep in the wilderness of Manitoba, don't be surprised to see a moose or two!  

Don't be discouraged that you have never hunted bear and don't know the first thing about it.  

Tim and Lee will educate you while baiting bears, shot placement, what to look for in a bear.  You are part of the hunt from start to finish.  We are also family friendly, if you want to bring your son or daughter for some "bonding" time, we are very welcoming.  It will be quite the experience for all.

In this picture it was a first hunt for father and son.  They had the time of their lives!

Memories that  they will always cherish!

If you do  decide to come hunting by yourself,  you will make hunting friends that will last a lifetime.  Don't be discouraged!

Spring is around the corner, we are getting our bait supplies ready!  We have a lot of snow this winter, lake levels will be up!  Make sure you pack your rubber boots.

Our beautiful main lodge has a breathtaking view of the lake.  You can catch dinner right off the dock or take a boat and motor and explore the lake.  Fish fry Friday's are the absolute best, can you taste it?

Breathtaking.......

All spring bear hunters please note that we are watching the current pandemic situation closely. We are in the mindset that everything will be fine, and, in a few weeks, good news will fill the networks instead of the constant stream of negative information we see and read everyday. Think and stay positive, follow the recommendations of the CDC and do your part and practice social distancing.

We are putting a contingency plan for the spring bear hunt to be rescheduled for the fall if necessary.

Our plan is to wait through the next few weeks of quarantine and see where it takes us.

We will keep you all updated. Please stay safe and stay healthy!

Tim and Donna Hastings

It's been while since we touched base.   We appreciate everyone's patience as we guide ourselves through life in a different way.  We had a very successful fall hunt in September and we are really looking forward to getting back at it in the spring.  

After two years of struggling with the border closure we had no choice but to raise our rates by $500.00,  the soaring cost of goods has sky rocketed.  We appreciate your understanding.

We would love to hear from you,  please do not hesitate to call or email us. 

Spring bear hunting refers to the practice of hunting bears during the spring season. While some people may view hunting as a controversial activity, proponents of spring bear hunting argue that it can have a number of benefits, including:

Population Control: Hunting can help to regulate the bear population, preventing overpopulation and its negative impacts on the ecosystem. Overpopulation can lead to food scarcity, disease, and other problems for both bears and other animals in the area.

Economic Benefits: Hunting can generate revenue for local communities through the sale of hunting licenses, equipment, and other associated goods and services. This can help to support local businesses and create jobs.

Conservation Funding: The fees paid by hunters for licenses and permits can be used to fund conservation efforts, such as habitat restoration and wildlife management programs.

Meat and Pelts: Many hunters use the meat from bears for food, and the pelts can be used for clothing or decorative purposes.

Tradition and Culture: For many people, hunting is a cherished tradition and a way to connect with nature and their cultural heritage.
