I could tell that if he would just stand up I could… Certain features like bowed out front legs. Slow ponderous movements and outsized oversized hump indicates the makings of a big, big bear.
As the big Manitoba bear turned his head from side to side he occasionally looked square at us. I was watching him through the rifle scope.
I tightened the rifle sling high on my left arm and in a sitting position scooted out and down the hill a couple of yards or meters for a clear shot. Still sitting I put the cross hairs on the bear. And danged if he was not watching me all along. Wow I thought, maybe I am not going to get a running shot after all. But the bear seemed completely disinterested. I could not a shoulder, so I figured on breaking the neck. The flat footed faithful little 270 was rock-steady on his nose – and we waited. And waited. Finally the bear turned his head and I touched her off. The bear collapses as if he had been electrocuted. As a matter of fact, I had the sensation that he flopped so hard that he bounced a little.
The bear dropped spine up in some real low willows, being fall time at Lake Manitoba Narrows. The Manitoba willows partially hid the bear.
The first shot it seemed had broken his neck and jaw, and the other two the bear’s shoulders.

My long time hunting buddies and I decided this would be the year we opted for a fly-in moose hunt in the far north of Western Ontario.
A long 17 hour drive from Sudbury area followed by a 45 minute flight with pilot Don Elliot of Mattice Outfitters. This family operation of over 25 years hosted us for a self guided moose hunt on the Okogi Reservoir.
Outstanding accommodations and 14 foot Lund boats with quiet 4 stroke 15 hp Yamaha motors made our ten day hunt a once in lifetime trip.
Greg our master chef prepared meals every night that left us stuffed. Wacky-Pat ensured the main cottage was well heated for those cold nights. Big-O scoped the shorelines for possible moose signs. Timmy kept us entertained with a nightly chorus of campfire dinner music.
The Ogoki is a long lake with bays and inlets so inviting to moose. Tamarack and Black Spruce crowd the shore line in most places. Using quality binoculars while skirting shorelines was one of our most productive methods for locating moose.
Weather changed about every half hour so we had to be prepared for dead calm to white caps on the lake. Scouting the numerous bays indeed paid off in the end.
Our island host Austin ( Don’s son) showed us how just versitile a LUND boat could be.
He helped us load my almost 1000 pound bull into 14 -foot Lund and transported it back to the island dock (12 kilometers away) to gut and quarter it there.
I never thought it would even fit inside the Lund never mind float!
Two days earlier Poco had shot a hefty cow. We gut and quartered it and then loaded up into the 14 foot Lund with no problems.
Big kudos to those reliable Lund boats and Austin for all his help.

The first of these chain saws may of been fine for professionals in the lumber and woodcutting trades but were more than a bit too much for the amateur to handle , so says Manitoba outfitter Jadran Transcona. Even for the odd casual woodcutting these devices were to unwieldy if not downright dangerous to have down at the lake cottage or camp or for occasional outdoorsmen and hunters out on a hunting or fishing vacation at their favorite lodge.
While many serious campers bought and used these , they were not the handiest items to include in general hunting , fishing or camping gear packing. This the manufacturers recognized this need in the hunting and fishing outdoors market for such a product.
