Hunt Lake Manitoba Narrows

As you read this you are probably about ready to go hunting , are thinking of hunting or planning a hunting trip or trips.    This may be your year to make the trek to our” neighbors to the North” and even to the wilds of Lake Manitoba and the interlake Lake Manitoba Narrows regions.

This may well be the year of your dreams that everything goes according to your plans and your script, or it may be a year of hunting and hunting trip no shows and disasters with poor hunting results at the end of the day or end of the trip.

To avoid this hideous trap of bad events here are some of the more common mishaps to watch out for :

1) You pull the trigger and instead of a “bang” sound you hear think.  Most likely you either have a dud primer or the primer is good but your firing pin as not struck it hard enough to set it off.

-  count to ten slowly.  You may have a hangfire , and if the round goes off with the bolt open ,deer hungting or duck hunting will be the furthest thing from your mind.  Eject the cartridge, rack in a new one, and pull the trigger again.  There is no use resnapping on the dud, because if the fault is with the primer, it very unlikely at all that a second firing of the firing pin , will set it off.

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.

Still – hunting , the art of silent stalking, is an old an art as the relationship between hunter and whitetail deer , even as far back as the woolly mammoth .    In this case its all about stalking that elusive white tail deer.  And even though it continues to be both effective and productive, still hunting’s prevalence seems to be declining over the years. the victim of hunter’s busy lives , too little time to spend in the field as well the preponderance of high tech gadgetry.

Hunter and deer, however are still as well matched as they were millennium ago.  The whitetail has developed finely tuned survival skills , adapting almost anywhere that man lives in North America.  More whitetail deer are on the continent today than at any time in history -recent or not, even though more humans are hunting than ever before attesting to the deer’s highly developed abilities to survive.
