Spring Bear Hunt in Algoma

By Keith Beasley
Canada in the Rough Television Show

As the bald eagle soared low over my head , just above the tree line , and the meandering brook narrowed into a small waterfall behind me with the soothing sound of bubbling water , I knew I had found my spot .

I have found many spots like this before in the stunning Algoma Country of Ontario , Canada . As a hunter , I seek out pristine , untouched pieces of wilderness . While I sat 14 feet above the ground in my tree stand overlooking black bear country I knew I had once again found my escape .
My excitement was building long before I arrived in Algoma , as I had fallen in love with this area years ago . I knew that everything would meet my expectations with amazing meals , a great lodge and the ultimate hosts . Suffice it to say , our host even allowed me to accompany them to multiple stand locations to see the spots available for me to hunt , tweak the stands to my liking , see the bear sign and ask questions about the history of the bears in the area . After hours of work and endless bear hunting locations chatting continued over a fine meal . I was now just waiting for the next day to see what the wind delivered .
As the eagle passed over and the warm breeze flowed through my location I felt very confident . No hunter had been in my spot for over
