Well said JC!

Wow those are sweet pic's,I love that one of you and yours that's really cool looking,no staged photo's.And as JC mentioned where it was intended to end.Even Uncle Barry looks good in that pic.Fred and Thomas must have been plotting something....look at them...hey maybe Fred asked Thomas to come with him to the bear burriel grounds and help him remove a certin part of the dead sow harvested 3-4 days before...thats kind of the same look I had when he asked me to help...yikes no way.........bowdoc

Good point J.C. Those guys did look serious, didn't they. I know that those of us that were ther won't ever get tired of reliving this and most others are a little tired of hearing about it but I'd like to say one last time that I've never shared time with a better group of people and I've never seen anyone work any harder to keep things together than Tom and his crew-Eric, Lloyd, Allen, and Bowdoc. I've been in a lot of camps and have some great memories, but nothing tops this Bear Quest experience. I'm too old to be able to afford to wish my life away but next June can't get here too fast to suit me. Thanks guys.                             GY

GReat pictures guys.  Have to put next years hunt on my calendar some way.  Gland to see the Bow doc got that computer figured out.  I had his mailbag full.  hould be shooting my 56 kodiak special and super diablo by next week  
Thanks bowdoc.

Can this be the thread that never ends?  It's kind of like the trip isn't over as long as there is new stuff being added here.  Keep it coming guys!  Only 11 more months and it will be here!

Fellas any ideas for some other dishes I can get my wife to prepare for Bear Quest III ? I am hoping we can have some steamers for both weeks next year,what do you think ?

Nope not me,I liked everything we ate except the BBB's...the steamers would be great with some king crab legs and a little smoked salmon on the side maybe....yum.....lets get that deep frier set up next year and we'll bring some cracker crumbs and deep fry those walleye......I don't know about Tippet and Jay but I know Fletch and Bbassi can catch those big eyed mothers.I will bring my 12 volt eletric fillet knife along....Let leave tomorrow....Hell yeah..........bowdoc

Bowdoc you can come early next year and stay at my house for a week if you want , this town needs some excitement , I'll take you around the Jersey pines and show you some monster deer ( 75-100 lb.er"s) Tom is a very serious hunter and I admire that , we were debating last night stand choices , he made the right choice and I hung on to a glimmer of hope that faded with the sunset ,there's always  next year..... Hey JC nice avatar , congrats on a great bear and a greater story .Grant , Ron , Brent and Fletcher I envy your photo taking , It is one more thing I  struggle with . I got my digital camera wet when crossing a cypress swamp at the Paradise and it has been a little fickle ever since , sometimes it works fine for a while and then it won't . I'd buy a new one but would screw it up soon anyway .

Oh yeah great pic's and stories...bowdoc

I sure am enjoyin the hunt you fellas had. Maybe some day I'll be able to join in.

Waitin for the rest of the boys to Post there bear Hunt story !! Mine is on its way and will be short & sweet :-)

I ran into Jay (John A) at ATAR and he told me what a good time ya'll had up there. I almost got sick on the spot, i should have went with him. Some other things came up and i couldn't go.
