Hunt Lake Manitoba Narrows

If your consicence or vanity does not permit you to shoot a bird or hen of the year, you can always be counted to call up a fat longbird.  It can be said that hunters can shoot hens in the fall time simply because they can make acceptable hen calls,  However on the other hand if you wish to shoot fall longbeard then you have to employ and use “gobbler talk”  well.

Goblers “yelps” can be said to not always sound like the traditional  long , low croaks that you can hear in avid outdoorsmen tournaments and conferences in gobbling contests or on instructional tapes.  Actually they are most similar to hen yelps but each call is “drawn” out and gobblers can be said to call at a slower cadence rate.  Like hens, gobblers will also putt and cutt when they are excited.  For gobbler calling,  a call can be used with a clear as well as somewhat “raspy” tone and tones.

Spring hunters can be called on to know well , that gobblers will be near and nearby to hens.  However come the Mantioba falltime and this may not be so.  Gobblers can be said to be little different than mature whitetails.  These keep to themselves.  It can be said by experienced Lake Manitoba Hunting Lodges outdoorsman Jadran Transcona that come the Manitoba Canada falltime you will not fiind longbeards in the same places and locales that you would expect to see hens , jakes as well as poults.

Fall gobbler hunters should look for 4 to 4 1/2 inch tracks , big droppings and black edged breast feathers.  Find the roost and their food source, and get in between them on the bird’s line of travel.  It can be said that if you are pushy enough on the call, six or seven mature gobblers might just take a run at you, beards swinging ready for the big time fight.  Make them really mad and angry and they can be sure counted on to be strutting and gobling as they come on strong.

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.
