One can only hope, maybe I'd have a chance to win the Tippit knife that way! :bigsmyl:

LD
Sooooo.....please tell me how I win my knife? I am not in on all the particulars yet.
Like Larry said, it will be quite easy to grind off your name and have "BISCH" inscribed on it!
I have never even seen a TIPPIT knife but know from what I have read on this site that they are something special.

Here's my Tippit knife from BQVI...just put some black Springbok horn scales on it. I think it helped skin at least 6 bears this year. Maybe this is what Caddo is thinking about :) tippit

Caddo, I'm headed up week one; you just as well put yer wallet away, I'm takin' home the knife.... :archer2:
I'll be there week one, can't wait. It'll be my first bear hunt. Been reading the posts from the past hunts and Barry Wensel's book. Countin down the days.
AR RidgeRunner, Uncle Barry's advise to me was to put a down payment with the taxidermy before I go, boy was he ever right! I saw 11 different bears in 3 days, I couldnt hold back after the 3rd day!!

Light numbers, both weeks. There's gonna be so many bears to choose from it's going to be Ridiculous! How will I ever decide? :bigsmyl:
So Tommy,
If we give them 20 names for each week, can we get extra tags? Just sayin...... :goldtooth:
LD
Good there will be more for me next year.Enjoy guys have fun wish I was there. :wavey:
Caddo I will check on answer for your question and get back to you :-)
Tom, Better have plenty of paper towels! I hear tell, those guys on week one just shoot little bears anyway! Gotta keep that milk cleaned up! :biglaugh:
LD
Ohhh yeahh. It won't be long now!
Anyone else flying into Albany on the 7th? I should be getting there at about 1:30 pm.
I believe I will be picking you and another hunter at the airport on Friday
Great sounds good Greg,I will try to touch base with you before then. Thanks
I think I'm the other hunter you're picking up at the airport. I get into Albany close to the same time at 1:53. Counting down the days!
Looking forward to meeting you Kent. I was born in Arkansas, but did most of my growing up in Montana. I hunt around Fairfield Bay Arkansas every time I get the chance. Still have lots of family living there.
Down to two plus weeks before my 18 hour nonstop solo drive. Can't wait to get in camp and meet some new Bear Quester's. Sure going to miss Sean and Tippit, camp won't be the same without them. For you first timers one word. THERMACELL. Don't leave home without it. Looking forward to seeing Bowdoc again, never a dull moment.
Thanks Mike, this is KILLING me!! I had a great time last year. looking forward to all the stories and pictures.
Mike, I wish you and the other guys a safe trip. Just talked to Tom at the Baltimore shoot today and he is ready to go. Just waiting on the 'little guy' from Seattle to fly in. Good luck.
Shick
I am sure gonna miss ya'll this year. But this is why I'm missing Bear Quest...my quest for Redfish on the Fly :) Here's the start of my six weeks Southern Journey chasing these spottail bass in the flats.
Yesterday 3 Reds...spot & stalk in 2-3 feet off water :) Not exactly black bear but my eyes are peeled for black spots tailing in shallow water...tippit

That is just the right size for the grill.
Same here Ed. Is Fairfield Bay near Hardy? Not sure but I think I've been there before. I'm really looking forward to this hunt and meeting everybody. Still can't believe we're down to less than (3) weeks.
Yellow Dog, still got to pick up a Thermacell, I've heard that's a necessity.
Just got home boys from 400+ ride from Baltimore shoot.Got to unwrap sweets now !! Tippit COOL looking fish,Bowdoc said to catch a few more put them on ice and get your tail back to Mass we will meet you in VT. Friday evening June 7th !!! And don't forget the fish for the grill in camp.
South of there Kent. It is on Greers Ferry lake. Near Heber Springs. Im taking two Thermoocells, LOL.
Just a tip I bring two thermacells on the stand.Often times you will be on a stand long enough to burn one pad up so I light one then about about an hour or one and half hours light the other.This way you will not have to change pads at the most likely times the bears may come in just before dark.Good luck and have fun.Kip
I'm arriving in Albany around 1PM. Getting close and I can't wait!
The thread from last years hunt if some of you guys are still thinking about joining in on this hunt this year. Looks like there's a few more slots open. The most fun you'll ever have with a bow in your hand :thumbsup:
http://tradgang.com/noncgi/ultimatebb.php?ubb=get_topic;f=1;t=117401;p=1
i'll be picking up Ed Guthro and Kent Roberts on Friday
Thanks Greg, look forward to meeting you.
I look forward to meeting you and everyone else too!
Tom here's your lefty demo bow. Bocote, zebra, black phenolic riser with actionboo/carbon limbs. Didn't get time to ship it yesterday before I left town so ill probably just carry it with me next week. Any other leftys in camp are welcome to give it a try. 51#@28".
