Congratulations to you and everyone in camp! Tom runs a great camp and there are plenty of bears.
Bowdoc is just icing on the cake.      

Very nice Doc!!!

Uncle Barry, doesn't Bowdoc look like a sultry little vixen under that veil? I guess what happens at Bearquest......  :rolleyes:        

Congrats to all! It sounds like ya'll had a great trip!!!! Awesome blood trail Jeff!

Some great bears fellas!  And even better action stories!

Yellow dog...that is a brute!

I started my Bear Quest 6 adventure when I left Kentucky for Boston via U.S. Airways where I was met and hosted by one of the greatest men around on TG -- Jeff (Tippit) Springer.  We had a great evening and a sound night's sleep for the trip to La Tuque the next day.




Jeff and his lovely wife, Molly, have quite a beautiful home.  I must say that they are great hosts.  



Jeff had to tend the horses since Molly was away at a horse camp in Vermont.  





Before we left Jeff's house on our trek to La Tuque, I studied the bear target out back to make sure I knew where the kill zone was on a bear.



Friday morning couldn't have come soon enough for me.  But it did and Jeff and I were ready to make the 8 1/2 hour drive.  But before we left, he had to say goodbye to the girls.

The only regret to the entire trip, was that Barry Wensel wasn't with us.  Last year Jeff, Barry and I made the trip together.  Barry was surely missed, but not forgotten on this adventure.

The weather was just right. No too hot and not too cold.  The scenary was breathtaking.  

Once we went through customs, I knew that our trip was about half over.  Quebec is beautiful.

Great Pictures Larry.  Great Job on the story Jeff!

If you haven't been on a Bear Quest hunt, I fully endorse it.  Save up and go on one and you won't be sorry.  Here are a few more pictures I would like to share of the trip to La Tuque.

   

Awesome pics Larry and congrats "Big Bear Slayer", Im glad she was a he. Any close up pics of Little Sis?

Congrats on the great bear, Jeff. It looks you all had a great adventure.

Wow, all the way to the skinning table before you figured out it was a boy, huh?  
Jeff, Jeff, Jeff....          

Yup, flipped him over on the skinning table and Sean said "hey Doc, I think you better go back through Sex Ed, this ones a boy!" it was priceless!

             

Welll Mike....III wasnt gonna bring that up  

I love BQ, never disappointed reading this thread.  Nice bears!

This is always one of the threads I wait for.  Thanks Larry for all the great pictures.

Y'all are going to make me hunt bear one day. Never thought I'd ever want to bear hunt, but it gets closer each year.

Izzy,
I just got back from a mandatory Sex Ed Re-Fresher class in order to keep my state veterinarian license current...here are a few pictures of Paul's "little sister".  Awesome bow!!
