was THE DELI an active bait this year? That was wehre I took my bear last year....very cool spot.

tippit · June 22, 2008, 08:11:00 PM

JC, Whip, and I got home last night around 9:30. We were still too pumped to hit the sack til after midnight! I just had a great time with everyone. Tom, Eric, Roy Boy, and Allen did a superb job plus everyone pitched in with baiting, tracking, and even acting as kitchen help for Bowdoc

I'll get things settled here but I am proud of Team Tippit...100% success for all who dropped a string with a Tippit Terminator plus a double lunger on a steel pipe

Jay,Steve and I got in at 10 pm Sat. Got a few hours sleep and Steve and I headed out at 6am for a 3D shoot where he promptly showed us yankee boys that Wisconsin guys CAN shoot.Jay left for VA early and got home around 5pm on Sunday.
The bear above is the largest of the trip and not my story to tell. Hope to hear from the hunter soon.

I've been in quite a few bear camps and this one is as good as it gets.I'd like to thank all that were there for a great time and hope to see you all soon!

Its great to hear week II was productive, guys. I can't wait to hear the stories. I think all of us would agree that Tom and the Bearquest Crew did an incredible job- all that preparation and two weeks of almost constant work and hustle. Already can't wait for next year's BearquestIII.Bowdoc, have you slept at all yet? Glad you made it home safe, we'll talk when you have recovered. Grant

RRock · June 23, 2008, 01:47:00 PM

First off, need to thank Tom P. and his crew for an OUTSTANDING experience. Need to thank Tippet (Jeff Springer) and PV (Paul Van Vaerenewyck) for their generous offerings of the knife and bow. I could not ask for a better group of guys to share a camp with, I believe each and everyone had a genuine interest on the other guys experience in the stand that evening, they shared your happiness and otherwise. It was an honor to have met you all and maybe we can share a camp together again. Tried to describe Bowdoc to my wife and realized there is no explaination, you just have to experience the dude. Again, thanks all.

d. ward · June 23, 2008, 02:16:00 PM

Well Big Ron the first story I would like to post is.I had the new TB magizine waiting when I got home and some great info as always.Kind of funny too how in Que'bec on live game the single bevel broadhead did not I repete did not work any better or any worse then any other broadhead.The bottom line is shot placement...There is no magic bullet or arrow if you will.Pratice pratice pratice.The tests scores are in and shot placement wins again.Sorry Doc but I for one ai'nt buying into it........bowdoc

d. ward · June 23, 2008, 02:33:00 PM

Fred sorry to say old 3 leggs is no more.I will let the bowman whom did the deed tell his story.....Needless to say also old 3 leggs won the door prizes and cash too.He was a slammer as you mentioned.......bowdoc

BigRonHuntAlot · June 23, 2008, 02:36:00 PM

LOL... Don, I know Exactly what your talking about.

Hoping we can share a camp again soon! Glad you guys made it home safely.

Whip · June 23, 2008, 02:36:00 PM

Matt, I tried to describe Bowdoc to my wife last night too and like you couldn't come up with a way to come close to helping her understand. Like you said - you just have to experience him, and I sure hope to get another chance! Whoooeeee!!

Catching up at work, chores, and the wife. Have to download pics, etc, but I will be back as soon as I can. Hope some others can fill in the blanks in the meantime.

Right up front though I need to thank again Tom, Eric, Allen, Lloyd, and Bowdoc for making this the best bear camp I've ever had the pleasure of being in. Outstanding!!

bbassi · June 23, 2008, 03:00:00 PM

Three legs is dead? and your sorry? I bet Fred isn't. :D

hogdancer · June 23, 2008, 03:35:00 PM

Thanks to you Bowdoc for taking care of us and for those late evening meals when we were so hungry we would eat anything. :D

Bob Walker · June 23, 2008, 03:45:00 PM

Bowdoc,

I don't mean to disagree with you but.....don't you agree that my bear would have died much deader if I'd had them little feathers and turbulators on the shafts???

Miss Kim · June 23, 2008, 03:52:00 PM

JC will post on here tomorrow...he hopes! We are having a family day...been out to lunch and to the movies. Now on to Connor's All-Star game tonight. We pray he wins so we don't have to do a double header! :rolleyes:

I have heard many a story and it sounds to me like a great time was had by all. Glad to hear that everyone is home safe and sound....I think everyone is back....Is that correct?

Bowdoc, JC speaks highly of you and after hearing the stories and seeing the pictures, I can just imagine what a hoot you are to be around. One giant party with constant entertainment!
