Proper clothing
Here are some tips on how to tell the age of the next black bear you encounter:1. A Black Bear has a sense of smell that is over 100x that of a human’s
2. Black bears love the smell of mint
3. Black bears breed during the summer, meaning males will travel far in search of ready females.
4. Black bears are shy and usually afraid of humans, and rarely aggressive towards them.
5. Black bears do not technically hibernate, though they do use winter denning to overcoming deplorable weather.
1. Wash with unscented soaps, shampoos, and deodorants. Similarly, to the first cool fact above, bears can smell the slightest perfume, so avoid scents if you wish to go undetected.
2. As black bears love mint, many hunters brush their teeth during a hunt to attract bears.
3. Stealth is key, limit all movement to a minimum and sit perfectly still.
4. Research and explore your hunting terrain. Knowing the grounds makes stalking the bear easier.
5. Consider hunting again in spring, as the males will be out searching for females, making them easier to stalk and ambush.
Right now, in very early spring, is the best time to find and catch trophy size walleye in Manitoba, Canada. It is one of the most productive seasons because many walleye spawn and hunt for food in early spring.
Catching elusive fish like the walleye is easy enough if you have a few of our tricks up your sleeve. The key is to ensure that you do not underestimate the walleye, but you can underestimate the weather. Spring seasons also come with rain and deplorable weather that may deter some anglers, so the fish aren’t as sketchy as when the waters are busy. Furthermore, the fish will look for rocks during cold weather, so they could be easier to find.
Shallow or Deep Water?
Location is important. Water is clear in spring, and they’re quick, so finding and baiting them is key. Walleye often reside in predictable locations, usually in shallow water. Walleye love rocks and places to hide. Sunken islands and running creeks with big rocks are a walleye’s dream home.
Bright, Plastic Lures or Live Bait?
Since the water is clear and these fish can see well, avoid bright or ostentatious lures. Less is more with walleye, and live-minnows will do just fine. As fish are very hungry in early spring, extra minnows could mean a bigger fish!
Day or Night Fishing?
Walleye in shallow water notice hooks better during the day for a few reasons. The sun is shining, the water is clearer, and there are more anglers around. Therefore, walleye are under pressure to survive during the day, and harder to catch. Some anglers will head out at night to better their chances of catching a record Walleye.
Boat or Wade Fishing?
As walleye reside in shallow waters, fishing with a boat is just an accident waiting to happen. Consider a pair of waders for standing in the water. Wade fishing is subtle, and ideal for catching walleye.
