Happy New Year to all.Things are heating up for the 2nd Annual Bear Quest Bear Hunt JUNE 2008'.There are openings on the week of JUNE 14(sat)-21(sat) 2008'.
Anyone interested please touch base with me or TIPIT (Jeff Springer).
Last year there were 12 TRAD-GANG ers and everyone had Bear action with 10 Bears being harvested with Recurves,Longbows & Self-Bows.Trad-Gang member BARRY WENSEL was quite impressed with the hunt and is joining us this June !!! <--<<
Tom
Hey Tom, is that the first or second week?
Brent, That's the 2nd week as I think the first week is full. Right now I know of at least 3 tradgangers in that group...JC, Whip, and me ;)
We'll let the first week play around and thin some of the small bears out...bigger ones usually hold back for awhile :D Doc
I think I'll start packing tonight,just so I don't forget anything.....Oh yaaaa bowdoc
Dang, I wish I could!!
I would REALLY like to go on this hunt AND the Idaho one...I just do NOT get enough vacation!
I think you're exactly right Jeff - the big old boars will be out looking for girlfriends about the time we pull in. All those guys the first week are just going up scouting for us :thumbsup:
Oh yeah,we gonna have some fun....bowdoc
Another advantage to 2nd week but certainly not a big one...tippit knife to biggest bear. Can't depend on those guys in first week from addin' rocks to their bear's weight :eek: Doc
133days, 6hours, 32minutes, 54seconds. Ummmm, I meant to say, I'm not anxious or anything about this trip :rolleyes:
You will not be sorry, the camp experience alone was worth the trip...not to mention the great bear opportunities.
Lookin forward to listening to Bowdoc "hold court" and sharing some more of that archery lore I so enjoyed from last year. He's a pretty fair cook too! Steamers again this year Tom???
:pray:
I sent ya a pm Tom.
JC, You know it's never too early to start planning the dinner menu. Maybe if everyone in the second group wants to kick in, we could be dinning on these :bigsmyl:

Bear camp doesn't mean you have to rough it all the time! I know of at least one trad ganger who likes 'em...hint & maybe this would entice him to tag along :pray: Doc

I'm booked for the first week and can't wait. Gonna meet Tom and Bowdoc at the airport and disappear into the woods for a week-no cell phone-no meetings. Tippit, we'll do the best we can to cull the population for you guys. See ya'll in June. Grant
Grant, I hope you get 12 of the meanest ones cleared out for us. I want to be eating them lobsters and not have to worry about the reverse :D
Just for kicks if anyone thinks the 2nd week is at a handicap...here are a few of the bears that were Never Tagged but we knew were coming in :eek:

Is'nt the bottom pic of Barry??? bowdoc
Bowdoc, Yea you're right! That was right after dinner and we ran out of dessert :biglaugh:
Man! That middle photo bear has a seven gallon head. Hope he's still there...I think. Grant
Just watch out for that guy from Lake Mills, his personality is contagious :archer: :)

I wish I could afford one of these hunts but not enough money in the budget, I get plenty Vacation days.

A GREAT time to say nothing of the view from our campfire last year!:

If I hadn't already booked a hunt BEFORE last year for this spring, I would be going back..undeniably the single greatest hunting trip of my life...because of the total experience...and Unca Barry as well...don't forget to fall asleep on him while he's telling you stories. (inside joke)
And keep an eye on him..don't let him eat any clams that haven't opened in the steamer.
how much???
Brent,
You are on 1st week !! Spots open on 2nd week. What day are you going to Shawns RABBIT hunt ?~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Boom Boom hammond you will be there in Spirit for sure <-------<<<<,
Steamers & Lobsters will fit in just fine with the other fine table fair on the menu for the Bear Chasin!!!!
Curt,
Love to have you along.Hey with your shootin ability set up some seminars and use the cash generated for the Bear hunt :-) A seminar with you would be more fun than Byron F for sure !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Besides he's a RIGHTY and LEFTIES rule !!!
Huuuuuuuuh ???????? bowdoc
Sounds like a challenge BD. Tom, its a shame everybody can't be there at the same time. Can't wait to see you guys there. Grant
OHhhh yeah we gonna have lots of fun.....bowdoc
Tom, I'll be there for both days at the JLMBH. Are you coming? Cool!
BTW - you're righ.... correct, lefties rule! :readit: :p
Whip - Lord willing I will be going the 2nd week. Are you flying? If so and if you have already researched it, what did you find?
Are there still openings for the second week? I really think I could make these dates happen and I would love to make the trip. Can anyone send me more info?
I'd love to go but I'll be in New Brunswick the first week of June hunting.
I sure wish I could go. Maybe one of these years. This year I am planning on a bear hunt in Michigan and don't have the money for two hunts.
Good luck to those that are goning!
Robert
Brent,
