Hello Tom , If Bowdoc behaves and you have room I'll go first week . Fred
If you think I'll behave myself(yeah I can see that happening).....it very may be worth the price of a ticket just to see if your dream comes true......however Mr Gimble as I get a bit older rather then to slow down like some ? I actualy beleave like a good bottle of wine ? I'am getting better with age.And I know you know what I'am going to say to you right now Fred ........ hell yeah I would love to see you next spring its been way to long old friend bd
I like the phone it works great . I can keep an eye on you now bd
Fred G. you are on 1st Week Looking forward to seeing you.
Good Deal ! I'm getting excited already ! Can't wait . I missed you last year Bowdoc , this year I'll aim a little better . I'm feeling like an old bottle of cheap wine myself . I always knew I'd get old just never thought I'd wear out .Looking forward to seeing you again , Fred
Fred,

He He He LOL Randy the pressure is tough.I know tearing me up now but I have to pass for the BQVI Tom looks like you are about full.Enjoy it guys.Kip
Tommy Boy,
Don't know if you caught my wink on the ride back to La Tuque, that was supposed to mean in for wink one...errr week one :) Doc
Yes the pressure is high.
BQ is just a great time.
Man if I could only bottle that Bear Quest Camp feeling.
Kip.
Come on up buddy.
We'll miss the Cajun spices.
BTW, I made myself a swizzle stick and it turned out quite nice. Most people I show it to think I'm sick but they just do not understand the hunter mentality.

Amen brother! If I could bottle that and an elk camp type feeling I'd be a drunk!
Tommy Boy Tommy Boy what the heck is this Boy stuff Doc ???? You was'nt calling him Boy abouts 2-3 years ago when he was humpen your 309'er out of the moose tower around his no neck short legged little mother.......
oh hell no Doc you was calling him sir that day brother.I know I recall that day fairly well.We was laughing our butts off about the look on his face once we other 4 grown men finaly got that big bruin on his back.However when we got to the boat I clearly remember hearing you saying thank you sir and I believe it was with a capital S.
That was a great time and no BS that was an incredable pack job from my point of view let me tell ya brother.Hey Doc I love ya man but as an old gun fighter once said hell I was there.Lets get it straight there ai'nt no boys in La Tuque Doc bd
Hey Doc I came close on that knife ! , I was at my Son's place in Florida and had limited internet time ( hows that for an excuse ?) Better luck next time . I look forward to sharing another camp with you and yes I think I will shoot the biggest bear this time and claim a world famous Tippet Knife and not have to stress myself out at the auction . I may even get to Denton Hill this year if things work out . If I do I will difinetly look you up . Hey Bowdoc I heard you were going to Denton this year , any truth in the rumour ? Fred
oh yeah Fred I'am gonna hold out myself next spring.I'am gonna hold out for the first one that turns broadside at the bucket just like I always do.
Nope no Denton for the bowdoc this year I got a ton of work to finish before sept 1st or my wife said something like I'll be elk hunting with the guys on TV ? bd
Tippit,

Oh, boy. Doc, can we spend the night in LaTuque on the way up so I can buy a 75 dollar pizza for supper?????!!!!

Pizza and amarula is almost too good to pass up.
In fact, it IS too good to pass up.
Put me down for Week 1, Tommy.

Border Bob PM's sent.marked you down for 1st week and would be great for you to bring Jr. along that would be 3rd year in a row for 14 yr. old in camp !!
Bowdoc I have you down for BOTH weeks and by the way my wife is still looking for the BAMBOO spoon from 2 years ago you owe her !!!!!!!!!
Should it turn out that anyone will be driving from (or through) Illinois on the way to the Magnificent Quest, I'd be interested if you'd be willing to share traveling on the trip up and back.
Thanks to Bill Kissner, I got to make the pilgrimage to BQ4 and had a GREAT trip (Thanks, Bill!!)
I'm hoping to give the bears o-n-e more try while the sorry ol' carcass will allow it. Figured it was at least checking out the possibilities!
man Tom you broke that spoon digging in them buckets of grill guts this year.Man I'am going to have to find a new place to stay.....missing spoons hatchet jack hooked on chewing chew at his young age cause of me....I just know Paula's going to kill my goat smellen ass next year.I love you man but I ai'nt taken the rap for the spoon.Her dog hook on chew yes I'll take credit for that one but no spoons bd
crap I been up all night worrying about that darn spoon that got broken.Dang it no neck set me so it looked like I broke the bamboo spoon I just know he did.
I can hear him right now telling Paula oh no honey that was not me that was the bowdoc that broke your favorite spoon.Not your little no neck hubbie I was busy picking up dog poo.....bd

P.S.....Chad told me a little about him. :scared:
Pierre Chad is so full of it you'll see.I'am a clean cut good old american boy sorta bd
Hey BD, looks like Little Border will be joining us this year. He's changed a little since I took that avatar pic, looks me in the eyes now standing flat footed...He's looking forward to meeting you. I made him promise he'd be gentle with you............. :laughing: :laughing:
Bowdoc Little Border Bob is not so little anymore you will have your hands full with those 2 Virginia boys !!!
Can't wait.
yum yum fresh meat both weeks ? I like it no I really do I really do like those young well never mind we'll find out soon enough.Border Bob knows what daddy likes huh Bob......what the hell you laughing about no neck you gotta sleep with me again next year.........oh yeah baby bd
Bowdoc...you have it all wrong...Chad told us that you are a highly suffiscated, well educated, worldly and eloquent gentleman with an outstanding command of the English language. :laughing:
Chad never lies...he also stated that Jean-Pierre should attend bowdoc's boot camp to take his education to a higher level. I'm not quite sure what that means???? :dunno:
God Bless, Pierre and Jean-Pierre
whoops I gave it up to easy huh ? I figured Chad was slingen bull shrimp about me bd

Can't believe there's still openings.
Well , our clan kinda commandeered the second week. It will be like a Lilliputian invasion ...Tom, me, Pierre, JP, and the wiry Bowdoc...we are the only ones the need to jump to touch the stands.......and that is a small jump even for us !
Kuch,
We'll keep that bait rolling the first week so all the bigguns show up the second week.
Still openings on 1st week. First come first served
ttt
Waitin to hear back from a few fellows,but as of NOW still have a few openigns for FIRST week.
Tom,
Got an idea..as Chad had eluded to, maybe put everyone over 5'8" tall in week 1 and open up a spot in week 2 for a vertically challenged person.
Then again on second thought we might need to get some thing off the top shelf???
Just a thought...maybe BD can figure this one out? :dunno:
God Bless, Pierre
Pierre,
Not sure where I would fit in for Vertically Challenged !! Depends what footwear I am wearing.
Still FIRST week OPENINGS.
Don't kid yourself ,Tom. Your short like us,even when you wear those 4" high heels in camp. BD told me those were his favorites.

Tom does a super job putting this hunt together.
Nothing like having a camp full of Trad Guys in the middle of no where. There's lots of bear and we even have a few Trad Celebrities (BowDoc, Tippit, Uncle Barry, Larry Surtees) to entertain us when we are not hunting or caping the bear. Oh and did I tell you BowDoc is a Super Camp Chef. His 60 EGG Omelet is to die for.
You will not be sorry.

Guys, this is a great hunt... in a beautiful and interesting place... with a group of WONDERFUL people and a hunt leader who really knows his stuff!!!
I had the privilege of participating in BearQuest IV a couple years ago, and have a lot of terrific memories that come back to mind with great regularity. I had shot opportunities and came to full draw on three different bears and saw several more, but chose to pass because of the size or coat condition of the ones that came within bow range. I still feel really good about my choices. There were a number of beautiful bears killed by hunters in camp, and several pretty big ones! The hunt was great, but the camaraderie was even better.
If you are trying to find a good opportunity for a bear hunt, I'd suggest jumping on this ASAP. I'm very surprised that any openings remain, but here is your chance.
Thanks for a great hunt, Tom. I hope you have a full camp and a great season in La Tuque!
