Title: Raptor Bow build bear hunt
Post by: Ted Fry on March 22, 2011, 04:56:00 PM
I have had several request for info on the bow build bear hunt this last week asking when it is this year, sorry but we filled up right away with bear hunters and did not have room to fit one in.
We will be doing one this fall if there is enough interest on September 6th -13th .
You can contact me at 541-386-4503 for more info.
Also I will try to put one together in May 2012 and begin taking bookings right away, I know its a long time off but we are all ready getting booking request for 2012 and I dont want to miss out again next year, so lets go guys.Search the old threads for Idaho bow build bearhunt for pics and stories.
Looks like we have a great group of bowhunters coming this spring and hopefully they like to write stories on Tradgang.

Ted:
I have gone in to the website of the outfitter you gave me and requested info on Bear for Spring 2012 (period over Memorial day) and Elk for fall 2012. I have already looked in to flights from MI to Lewiston, ID...airlines and costs (had to use 2011 dates to get an idea) and am 80% sure I'll be signing on.  I am going to see if I can find another Michigander to join me.

Tommy boy , I know you are busy with the Bear Quest but that is in the spring, so come on out this fall and lets play with the bears, Gary and I would love to see you out west again, heck you already know the area now. It would be great to hunt together again , been awhile.
Great Steve look forward to sharing camp with you.

I would love too.
I actually got the lion in the picture thanks to Ted.  And later on the trip, I got to hunt with him!  I would love to do it again - he walked me through making my selfbow - on the phone - hours at a time!
