New road going right thru my Bear Management Area.

Logging companies are opening up all the roads that have grown in the past 30 years. Putting in new culverts. Looking forward to hunting the NEW terrain next Spring.

"NEW" for 2022 Timberwolf hunts... hunters must apply for their own CITIES permits for any Raw or Taxidermied hides that the successful hunter brings home into the USA. Contact me for website you can receive any such permit. For those coming to Pine Acres on a combo or wolf only in September, plan on getting your CITIES as soon a possible... Info will be posted on our Facebook page.

What does success run on gun hunts for wolf only.

From: spike buck

Beings that the Fall is the leanest for the wolf... success is quite good, about 70% shot at or harvest (Opportunity). Baits are all active. We actually do quite well. We have wolves hitting our bait now. I have camera's looking over the baits now. I will be checking camera's mid week.

Sarsaparilla Berries...

I will be working with a couple of bear hunters who will be spot and stalk only. We have a bumper crop of berries and have checked out a couple of clear cuts. I will be filming the hunters. Going to be a great hunt!! The sarsaparrilla Berries are going to be abundant also. All the moisture this year has produced a berry buffet!! Baits are doing great even with the berries.

Last year no berries, very dry and lots of activity where we were. Do you find the bumper berry crop makes much difference, or do you do anything different? You seem to have this figured out more then most!

2021 Mountain Ash Berries...

Bear Pile of Mountain Ash Berries...

John, we had a Blue Berry crop last year but low yield. The drought actually helped another Berry flourish. We had a bumper crop of Mountain Ash, Cranberries and Hazel Nuts. This year 2022, will be a BUMPER CROP of Berries of every kind!! Mountain Ash Berries will be 2 weeks later this year because of hardly any sun this summer.

We start baiting early before the Berries ripen. Lets the Bears know baits are available. We use alot of sweets also. Bears will eat our popcorn recipe berries or not.

For 18 years we had only a Fall hunt in Ontario, we had to figure it out.

McKenzie Bait...

Bears and Wolves co mingle at a bait... they just take turns. There are 4 wolves hitting this bait and 2 Bears. These wolves will be easy to get.

Those look like young wolves??

From: spike buck

JL, they are.... I have a picture of the Mother somewhere in the mix of pictures, she's not much bigger. Where there are young, there are old!! We saw this pack on the road about 1/2 km from the bait. Was 4 of them. When hunting wolves not too much time to size them up, identify as wolves, take first ethical opportunity.... SHOOT!! I have about 100 pics of the wolves on the SD Card and quickly downloaded in a swarm of Mosquitoes.

Here is the cub of the 2015 sow in picture

Ever since 2015 we have been following this sow. In 2015 she had 3 cubs.... all had a white patch. Last year I got this 2nd pic wondering if it was a sow and then realized it was the same bear as in the 2015 picture. Well, I put a many time repeat client on this bait and mentioned that the bear with the white patch was probably a sow. Mentioning she is a great breeder. He passed her many times. He took a nice Boar with his bait. I was right, she had 4 healthy cubs in January. Even after the drought that the biologist said would be devastating to the bears survival.

We have a cinnamon Bear hitting this bait also. Happens to have a white patch like this sow does. Its a boar. So, if anyone sits on this this, I will go over the pic with him and show him what bear he can take.
