Thanks everyone! Honored to be up top

Thanks to my travel buddy Brian and Ryan at Stickflingers for putting up with me. Never imagined I'd kill a bear that nice. Can't wait to do it again!

Very Nice Bear!! Congrats!!

Ya wouldnt be interested in Parting with a Claw or 2 would ya?? Making a Quiver and it Sure would Pretty it up!!

wapiti792 · June 19, 2011, 05:12:00 PM

Well I went to Manitoba to kill a nice rug bear for my daughter as she has wanted one, but looks like it will end up a full body mount with a rock incorporated into the mount along with an arrow with a knapped point and the skull fitted in there somewhere. It is a dream bear that I doubt I will ever match, so a dream mount will be in order. Gonna take my lunch to work a lot to pay for it

Shakes my friend all claws are accounted for. Sorry brother

Gonna go back this spring for nice black bear for my daughter's rug...after seeing Ryan's territory and hunting with him, I'd say I have a good chance.

Great pic and beauty bear

I guess we'll see you on changeover day. Wait, no, you will probably be HOME next year by Wednesday!

wapiti792 · June 19, 2011, 05:45:00 PM

No way Steve O...next year I am getting my money's worth

You can bet I will bring my flyrod and plenty of bunny arras just in case. That place (as you know) is dye-no-mite!!!

Steve O · June 19, 2011, 05:50:00 PM

Hah! I got some GREAT snoeshoe scrap video! If I can figure out how to send it to you, I will. Sounds like camp is going to be pretty luxurious next year

owlbait · June 19, 2011, 05:54:00 PM

So Mike, did you shoot it or wrassle it into submission! You guys posted great stories and pics. It will be tough to get a spot in Ryan's bear camprs the next few years! Congratulations again
