Year one for "Stickflingers" was a great success with plenty of big bears and color phases seen and killed. Every hunter went home with shooting opportunities and hopefully a memorable experience. Thought I'd share some pix of the Trad bears taken. Start if off with Tyler..

And finally Tim....aka "Killa". The dude's deadly!
I've seen the pics before, but I think the bears in them keep getting bigger! What a heck of a great start for your operation!
What did these bears weigh? Great looking bears by the way! :thumbsup:
What a great year Ry! Congrats! You 'da man (eh!) :goldtooth:
:thumbsup: :clapper:
Sorry...no scale in camp to weigh the bears..next year! 1/2 the bears green scored P&Y if that helps. They ranged from 5 1/2 feet square to 7 foot 7 1/2.
Nice,very nice.
Thank Ryan for helping my family make some great memories! Can't wait to hunt with you again. What spots do you have open for next year?
Very nice
Wow! Y'all have some big 'ol bears.
It is remarkable to see that many successful trad hunters in a row - well done. Stories??
:bigsmyl: :clapper:
Congrats Ryan for a very well operated bear camp.All nice bears and phase color!
Thank you Terry for trusting in me as a new outfitter and allowing me to meet your awesome family. Hope you come back?

Nuff said....congratulations Ryan!
Glad to hear you are booked up Ryan! I never doubted that once people saw what you can deliver that it would be standing room only.
Sorry, I was too slow and missed my chance. If you have any drop out let me know as my oldest son is getting home from his Church mission in October and will be wanting to hunt something in the spring.
2014!!!! :eek: Good for you!! :clapper: That is how it usualy goes with quality operations.I knew I should have sent a depost for Tracy's graduation present.Back to the drawing board!
Congrats to everyone involved!

Wow 2014! I was thinking serious about 2012. Guess there is a time for thinkin' and a time for bookin' and I sat here thinkin'.
Terry...I'll add you to the waiting list right now!
Bill...you want to be added? I knew you wanted 2013 but when I opened up the schedule book and clients saw the openings.....whamo...they were gone...sorry...Ryan
Boys and Girls. Get in line now! This little opertion is worth the wait.
Ryan, congrats on a fine opening to your outfit. You, and your crew, are "first class" all the way.
Thanks for helping me get my first bear on the ground.
P.S. I never did get that jacuzzi treatment... ahh, maybe next time!

Congrats to everyone again, it's cool to see all these pictures on one thread. What a nice bunch of bears taken (I love all the colour phases). I had a feeling Ryan would send home a lot of happy campers. Congrats to Ryan on such a successful first year, I know there are many more great years to come.
wow sure glad i booked for next year last winter!
