Title: BC Bear Hunt Anyone?
Post by: Hillbilly Bowyer on January 17, 2008, 01:45:00 PM: I've posted this up at a couple of other sites.

Well I'm booked with an awesome outfitter for the week of May 18 thru May 24, 08 in BC. The hunt area is about 12 hours from Seattle. The outfitter says he still has a couple of openings for the week I'll be there.

I have no vested interest with the outfitter.I take my money from the US Government. Just thought I'd offer up some free transportation if there was some interest.

I don't want to go into all the details here, but if anyone is interested in talking about tagging along they can email me at [email protected].

This is spot & stalk for really nice sized color phase bears. I'll be rolling out of Virginia in the ole deisel pickup and the plan is to stop in Montana for a day of trout fishing before heading thru Idaho, Washington and on into BC so a pickup could be arranged.

Dig up one of those mason jars of cash you got buried in the back yard and come along!

Less you drivin a VW Wabbit Diesel gonna be much cheaper to fly? Now if you like a drivin and just want to see the country no better way to do it. I drive from Ont to Texas every year, 32hrs but your journey going to make mine look easy.

Anyhow, I figured someone a little closer to that side may want to tag along, or as far as that goes, there's always the airport.

Post by: Hillbilly Bowyer on January 18, 2008, 11:04:00 AM: Yeah I couldn't be any more pumped at this point. I've spent a good bit of time on the phone/email with these folks and they're about as nice as they could be.

The outfitter is a bowhunter himself, and is aware I'll be hunting with either a boo backed yew or osage bow, so I'm gonna have to get up close and personal.

Post by: Hillbilly Bowyer on February 10, 2008, 12:35:00 PM: You would have been more than welcome in camp. I've had a few inquiries the past couple of days. A small get together in BC would be great!
