The challenges of getting to some of our bait sits last spring we were forced to bring in canoes and paddle to some sites. When the bait site is on fire you gotta hunt it no matter what is trying to stop you from getting there.

Everyday in bear camp is an adventure. Most days are awesome and then you have days like this. Short 6 mile walk back to camp.

Road to Paradise. With this cold front that we are experiencing now we are dreaming of getting back out in the woods and start baiting.

I’ve been a long time bowsite watcher and this is my first post. I’m Mike from the post above. I heard about Plum Lake on bowsite and went hunting with Mikey last week. I have nothing but great things to say about his outfit. Me, my cousin and another buddy went on the trip and we saw a ton of bears and had an awesome time. As Mikey said, I was picky and just had a great week watching bears and enjoying the great area. On the last night I was able to take this great bear. Mikey runs a great outfit and I can’t recommend Plum Lake enough. We will definitely be back! Good luck to all in the rest of the season. Thanks!

Now that our spring season is over and getting camp all put away for the summer I’d like to thank all our clients that made the travel up to Manitoba to come and hunt with us. We had a great season with many awesome bears taken and the amazing people that we met. Everyone leaves camp feeling like family. Thanks to Bowsite for allowing us to advertise on here. It’s such a great platform of people and I can’t thank our Bowsite hunters enough for putting your trust in us. Thank you everyone for making our season a success once again. Cheers.
