Dang guys, I'm ready to go now, LOl. Tom- got you and Bowdoc fixed up with gloves and about eighty percent ready to split. Can't wait to see you all on Friday,           Grant

Thanks for the info. I guess We'll just have to wait until you all return to hear the stories. Wish I could have been there but this elbow surgery stopped me from gobbling up one of those open spots.  So I'll just live through you all. Until next year that is. Hurry up, I want to hear some bear stories!!!! Good Luck!!!!

Mike

Got home at 11.15 last night and threw out my baiting clothes and hit the sack. Had a great weekend with Tom and Bill Langer. Sometimes being the "old" man in the crew has it's perks as the young guns carried the load for these old bones.
EVERY bait had been hit.Looking mighty good for the hunt.

See you boys soon

Paul

Hey Kip, No need to fret...remember the biggest was taken the second week.  Plus here a couple that are still out there     Doc

 

 

 

Curveman,
We'll save that bear for Bowdoc...seems he likes the hairless ones   :D

Is that a case of male patterned baldness?

Tom, I'm not sure of thier baldnes problem but I know what little hair I have left sure stands up & wants to depart when they come in under my stand...all of 6 feet off the ground  

If you veteran Bear Quest hunters are spooked then I better pack some depends...     the brochure didn't have anything in it about past hunters messing themselves, although there was something about a pee bottle.    

Shhh!.."What happens in La Tuque stays in La Tuque"....    :D

shot that pic Steve showed is a good looking bear right there.Ever hear of tag soup ?
I'am ready I got all my gear layed out for the final check list today.All I can say is HELL YEAH see ya real soon bowdoc

HOT DAMN!!    
I'm second guessing that 40 yr old 50#recurve.....
I'm gonna Have to Fletch up some LOUISVILLE SLUGGERS!!
Dear lord....

I'm bringing some selfbows, nothing like an unbreakable osage STICK in hand for whacking at boot sniffers.

Not to worry Matty- there'll be lotsa of over-forty bows there; none have failed yet. Lotsa of over forty hunters,too but most of us forget that detail when we hit the bush.    GY

Confess bowdoc, you like those near bare bears with tufts of hair left in weird spots because they remind you of old girlfriends!  

Heck Matty, I'm over forty!  Oh you're talking about bows...don't hear or read too well     Doc

It's getting close! I shipped my gear to Tom's home today. Everything should arrive on Monday or Tuesday.
