I've been 3 years running now and wouldn't miss it. Each year seems to get even better if that's possible!

Y'know, I should never post under Uncle Barry. Almost identical shot for an avatar except my bear looks like his bear's cub! It's really because I'm bigger and fatter and 30 yards away from the camera! Yeah right!   :biglaugh:

Ain't no way I'd go on this hunt. There's plenty of bears, the guys are great, and you couldn't ask for a prettier place to hunt. Absolutely no way. Wait a minute- I'm signed up already. Damn- I wanted to slam something sooo bad. Sorry guys, Grant

JC, It's killing me to think you'll miss this! I'm glad I got to see you again in Quebec this year if only for a short while.

If I get engaged this year allowing for this trip will be in the pre-nup!       :readit:    :bigsmyl:

Steve you are a smart man I know you are.Now just in case you did not or could not for whatever reason read this post ??? go back and read it again.S-N-SB is unable to go as he had a previous engagement(kind of sounds like to me).You can see where this is going right ? Once you get married and have 5-6 kids and after they all grown up and move out of the house you may be comeing BACK to Que'bec sometime...Just kidding ya.You know I love ya'all like one of my own and only wish you the very best.bowdoc

Right back atcha bowdoc and hogdancer-sharing a a single malt around the campfire with you is one of life's great pleasures I'm not giving up! I was hoping the kids the lady and I have would make good lawn mowers and arrow searchers while I went hunting. No? I may need to rethink this...maybe break-up before Christmas so I'll have money for that Shawnee of Mr. Walker's I want to buy....    :goldtooth:

Stevie- don't be hasty, it'll go away,trust me,lol. All you need is a little 18 y.o. Glenlivet and blood on your clothes- Hogdancer will get you all straightened out but I'll have to hang close. He's happily married and might lead you astray. Hope you guys are having a great season- Texas will be a nice warmup for Tuluque.                         Grant

Man I wish I hadn't told my wife I'd build her a garage this spring. I love bear hunting! Not to mention I'd have to bring the smoker and challenge doc to a cook off with my ribs. Probably wouldn't win but we would eat swell. I thought maybe I'd get out of it and go on this hunt until this morning when she had to scrape snow off the windshield. I'm doomed. Maybe 2009. Thanks for the offer Tom.

Mike
