RE: I' d like to hear your opinion......
 

T.R,my fellow Minnesotan,I' m sorry but I must disagree with you to a point about the bears not hiting the bait piles till well after dark. Granted some do but when I' ve got my permit and I' ve hunted them on my property. They' ve came in at various times during legal hunting hours. IMO the ones that hit the bait piles well after dark are the old timers(the big boys),because they are smarter then the average bear(no pun intended):D And if their is not alot of hunting pressure in the area they will go to the piles during shooting hours. For instance last year,during the opener(Sept.1st) my brother-in-law and myself video taped a 300+pound bear at 7:30pm. He was beautiful.:D

We have gotten some good tips here.


Most of the outfitters I know and talk to in Minnesota agree that when it' s hot bears don' t hit baits as often, or as early, as they do when it cools off. But, there is ALWAYS the exception.

" I have never sent money until a contract was sent out to me with the dates and conditions of the hunt."

Why anybody would book a hunt without doing this is beyond me, at least with a new outfitter.
If the guy won' t do that, he' s a small time, fly by night operator, and not worth taking a chance on.
Unless you know and trust the guy, get it on paper. Sad, but true.

Wanna revive this one?

RE: I' d like to hear your opinion......
 

Nope. Its been dead for six years.

RE: I' d like to hear your opinion......
 

Is there anything new that you have to say or do you just want to revive every single thread that youwere a part offrom back in 2003?

RE: I' d like to hear your opinion......
 

Spend 20 bucks on a thermocell and GO HUNT!

Wow, Snoball57, this sounds like the making of my recent elk trip to Wyoming, under the post buyer beware of table mountain outfitters. There is definitely something wrong if he doesn't know the dates of the hunting season. Also, food for thought,I would have to have talk with him now about what you expect to get for your money, get things cleared up now, don't wait till its to late.

RE: I' d like to hear your opinion......
 

Yall do know that this hunt was booked in 2003 right?
It is 6 years old.
T.R. just likes resurecting old threads that he was apart of before he was kicked off HNI. :eek:

Snoball57 hasn't posted since February 2004.

Nothing like patting yourself on the back there T.R.
