Hubertus Posted May 24, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 24, 2006 Let us know what bear tastes like and post a pic of the pelt when finished. Hi Harry, havent taken any meat with me because you are not allowed to bring raw meat with you. I will make a pic of the pelt when it is ready. But probably it will need 4-5 months till it is ready said the taxidermy men. Hubertus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hubertus Posted May 24, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 24, 2006 Great story, you could be a new Attenborough .In answer to youre question; been going to the Frankenwald for three years now. Also go to Hessen Forst. Hi Ruud, im happy, that you like the pictures and the story. But its not me who have taken the pictures of the hunt only the other ones (where you can see me ;-) )have been made by me. You go to Hessen Forst? Which Forstamt? I do quite a lot of Hunting in the autumn for Hessen Forst as hunting dogmen (driven days). Hubertus -------------------------- And some more pics. That on the left side is the pelt of the bear i shot. The other one on the right side was shot by another hunter the same day but some hours later. We saw so many beautifl places while hunting. It was really unbevlievable. Canada is such a nice country with many water and of course a lot of waterfowl. But it was the wrong time for them. I have to go back in autumn for wildfowling And another lake. Mountains at the pacific coast. And some more mountains. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chezney Posted May 24, 2006 Report Share Posted May 24, 2006 Wow amazing pics. Looks like a really good ol' bear you took down there! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hubertus Posted May 26, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 26, 2006 Some more pics That is some of the rain forest called wood. It is quiet wet there. Its absolutely thick. Some really big trees. Not sure if they were Hemlock or Spruce. A nice morning for stalking bear. The landscape there was looking quiet different on different places. Really interesting. Here some high rocks. These small creeks where everywhere. Cool and fresh water. It tastes well. Also a nice place. It was quiet high in the mountains. Still a rest of snow.

new to the flock Posted May 26, 2006 Report Share Posted May 26, 2006 A VERY nice bear Hubertus That bear had ruled his territory for a number of years, and has the scares to prove it. Very impressive. The trees in the picture are spruce. I am glad that you enjoyed your visit to our country, you picked one of the most beautiful parts to visit.

Very impressive. The trees in the picture are spruce. I am glad that you enjoyed your visit to our country, you picked one of the most beautiful parts to visit. Hi NTTF, i loved Canada now! It is so wide. Really unbelievable for an european! Im sure i wasnt there the last time. Will come back as soon as possible Hubertus Looks absolutely amazing, superb photos Hubertus Thanks ------------------------------------------------------------ And some more pics Its unbelievable where you can drive threw with a Quad. They are really superb and a lot of fun driving them. That is the second bear i shot. We stalked him in the rain. Was a cracking stalk. Shot at 35m. Got again a lot of adrenalin. It was again an old male. A little bit smaller than the first one. Me on the left with my second bear and on the right the other german hunter with his bear. And same scene from the front. Look what a big neck the bear has. Preparing my second bear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deadeye ive Posted May 27, 2006 Report Share Posted May 27, 2006 Good Thread Hubertus .................I hope you come back down to earth with a soft landing Incidently are there only certain Bears you can shoot ,ie Do Age ,sex and condition have a bearing(Part to play )?..........Is there a guide to say yes or no to the shot in other words Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hubertus Posted May 27, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 27, 2006 It was again an old male. A little bit smaller than the first one. Must correct myself. Got some minutes ago the results of the measurement from the second bear: 19 8/16 inch. So same size as the first one. I thought he have been smaller. So shot two bears and both 19,5 inch. Had so much luck! Hubertus Good Thread Hubertus .................I hope you come back down to earth with a soft landing Incidently are there only certain Bears you can shoot ,ie Do Age ,sex and condition have a bearing(Part to play )?..........Is there a guide to say yes or no to the shot in other words I have already landed when i come back to Germany. But it wasnt soft. It was quite hard to leave that beautiful country :o If im right (NTTF please correct me if im wrong) you are allowed by law to shoot any bear with the exception of cubs and females with cubs. But we were looking for old male ones. As foreigner you need a guide. He tells you which bear is shootable. What do you mean with the part to play? Dont understand it.

Bear in a tree. Mountains We got new snow over night. At the very far end of the valley you can see the small piece of the lake. Thats were our camp was.

Hubertus Posted May 31, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 31, 2006 A small creek with very fresh and tasty water. I like drinking water from nature and eating fish from nature That is a typical place for grouse. We heard them there everywhere. Melt water coming down from the hills. THE END Im happy that you enjoyed the pics i shared. It was really one of the best trips i have ever made. I had some really interesting hunting in a great landscape. We had some really brilliant days in the camp and while hunting. Im absolutely sure, that i havent been the last time to Canada. I love that country and will return as soon as possible. And the best is: i already got an invitation for living in a trapping hut and hunting wolves in the winter from the guide who have taken my out for bear hunting. Hopefully i have the time in winter to do that...! If i go i will take again lots of pictures and share them here Hubertus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
