JP,
If you and your Dad want to put slabs on that blade, it is already drilled to accept 4 penny finishing nails as pins...tippit

Some great story tellin boys.Keep it rolling.Cool pictures too.

Tippit,  

Thanks but I think JP likes it just the way it is...beautiful knife and craftmanship.

We saw this a couple times at bear camp and have no idea what kind of creature this is???  

It kept sneaking up behind people...



God Bless,   Pierre

That was after eating Bowdoc's DOC omlette !! I felt a little ....uh...funny...

Just got done grinding and butchering up a bunch of bear meat....gonna be some good eating up at Denton Hill..

Friday was fish fry day at Bear Quest.  Caught enough walleyes and pike to feed 15 hungry bear hunters  and had some left over.  It was excellent thanks to Bow Doc's culinary skills.






What more could you ask for?

God Bless,   Pierre

The more I see of Bear Quest the better it looks and the more I want to go. I'm starting to save my nickels and dimes now so I can be part of BQ7.
Great photos, Pierre.
Way cool.
Joe

Joe, I'm telling you, it was the best bunch of guys that I've been around.  Tom busts his butt putting guys on bears and running the camp.  When I saw Tom's post for a few openings this past winter, I couldn't pass it up. It was worth every cent, even if I hadn't gotten a bear!

It was my first bear, by everyones reaction, you would have thought that it was thier first bear!  I can't say enough.

Sean,
That sounds so good. I am convinced. The money hoarding starts today.
Thanks,
Joe

thats great Joe' I'm in for the first week again.

First week for me to, all ready signed up with Tom. I have a year to convince sweet Wife that I need to do this for my fourth straight year, best time you'll ever have with a bow in your hand.

         

Mike thats awesome. Eric Port is in too.  Bring your Toelke so i talk you out of it!  

Sean,
May I PM you with some questions?
Let me know.
Thanks,
Joe

Joe, absolutly!

Tippit,
Thanks but no thanks. Its awesome the way it is. Thanks and great job on it.

God Bless,   Pierre

I'm starting to think that those boys aren't coming to BQ just for the Bear hunting anymore!

   

LD

Ohhhh wow!  Fortunately, I must have been out hunting when that pic was taken.  Is that a smile or a grimace on Bowdoc's face?

I have been trying to find the time to read through the thread here, but between work an our weekend power outages, I guess I will have to catch up later.

A super big thank you to Tom, Bowdow and everyone attending Bear Quest.  This was my 5th straight year  on BQ and if anyone is thinking about making this hunt, do yourself a favor and just sign up.  You won't find a better time anywhere!  

The bears I brought home were all on video, but the opportunities were there.  I moved to the Resurrection stand after Pierre's encounter and there I hunted for the remainder of the week.  No bears on my first evening, but at least 1 bear was seen each of my remaining sits.  The first bear I saw seen on Tuesday evening proved to be my biggest for the week.  At the time, I estimated 180-200 lbs..broadside at 8 yards.  Given Fred's encounter the prior week, I wasn't too anxious to take the shot, but if that bear proceeded 5 more feet, I might have reconsidered.  Instead the bear made the decision for me as he turned and walked dead away.  If the truth be known, as that bear walked off I realized I just let a really good bear walk.  Over the next few days, I determined that my field judging skills were off and that bear was probably in the 250 lb range, or bigger.  The remainder of the week I was visited by smaller bears, but big ones never made an appearance.  It was a great week!

Below is a short clip of a smaller bear I was protecting from expired hostess cakes.

Here is a pic of Dwight about 80 yards above Cardiac stand.  This pic gives new meaning to a Bear Hug.
