Katy Brown and Tom Schinderle owners and operators of KT’s Resort on Floodwood Lake have been guiding bear hunters for several years. This year, however, Katy decided to take one for herself and Tom shot his a short time later.
Katy shot the 185-pound bear near Cedar Valley about five miles from her resort. Tom shot his 235-pound bear near Canyon, Minnesota. Their bear bait recipe, “Corn and molasses from the Floodwood Farm & Feed store,” said Katy.
Katy enjoys hunting a variety of wild game including deer and small game birds. “I get my buck every year,” said Katy. “I need a 10, 9, and a 3-pointer, and I will have a 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10.”
It was in 2000 that Katy started hunting seriously. “I was sick with cancer and all I could do was sit,” she said. “So I sat on my stand.”
In 2005 Katy got a 270 pump and she loves it.
Customers of Katy’s and Tom’s also shot a bear this season. Troy and Tony Roberts of Leetonia, Minnesota shot a 200-pound bear near Canyon.
