IIIIIEEEEEEEEE!!! What you say der Kip! We gonna have us a real soiree sauvage, n'est pas?!?? I'm done like da dog dats been on da chain too long...and now da chain, she's done broke loose!

Packed and bags by the door as of last night, sailed out of work today with the heady knowledge that all my loose ends are tied and they will be beggin for my return before the next 11 days is through.

Too bad I won't have a care in the world, cept "will this one offer me a shot?" or "wonder what fly they'll bite?" or "wonder what's for dinner tonight?" Now those are the kind of decisions I want to be making!

I'll have Miss Kim fill ya'll in if we still have coverage in La Tuque. Until then, when you speak of us, speak well of us my friends!

I'm on vacation!!

Work is done, and I'm heading in to stay at an airport hotel tonight for early morning flight in the AM.
With all the flooding around here it might take me until then to find bridges that are passable, but I will get there!

Can't wait to see you fellers - this is going to be good! :cool:

Ya'll have a good time!

well we're back. What an unbelievable trip. I'll keep this short but our group went 10 for 12 with everyone having opportunities. Tom and his crew were outstanding and everyone had a great time. For those that have never hunted bears like me, this was an incredible experience. Nothing like having bears (multiple) try to climb in the tree with you! The average shot is about 4 yards, with several closer sets. You really get up close and personal on this trip!

Here's a picture to wet your appetite. I know there are tons more pics and stories to come. I took mine with a 68 bear grizzly, bear arrows and bear razorhead.

Chris Surtees · June 15, 2008, 03:43:00 PM

Congrats on the fine bear!!!

Can not wait to hear the rest of the stories.

Man Barry thats a great story about the bow you will be bringing on the trip. This sounds like an awesome hunt. Wish I could have joined this crew...either one. I'm looking forward to the stories.

Tippit...those corded knives are ccccool.

Here are a few landscape pics not too far from camp... If a man wanted to disappear for awhile this is the place!

4runr · June 15, 2008, 05:05:00 PM

BigRonHuntAlot · June 15, 2008, 05:13:00 PM

bbassi · June 15, 2008, 05:28:00 PM

4runr · June 15, 2008, 06:08:00 PM

Any!

hogdancer · June 15, 2008, 06:25:00 PM

I'll see if I can get some pictures up later, my little girls are all over me after being gone so long, I will say it was great being there and meeting some GREAT folks like Ron and Brent, even though Brent did tell me while cleaning my bear that he had a dog that big ! good guys all of them !

hogdancer · June 15, 2008, 06:59:00 PM

here are a few pictures

hogdancer · June 15, 2008, 07:03:00 PM

Here is a picture of Grant Young and his bear, Eric, Big Ron and I helped him recover it, Big Ron and Eric are definantly guys you want to have with you when recovering a bear. Especially when you run out of gas and have to row back to camp.

bbassi · June 15, 2008, 07:06:00 PM

Hey Thomas, I have to apologize for that comment about my dog. It was a late night and I was just joking around. I hope you don't take it personally. Besides, I was wrong, Cooper is only 110 lbs.
