May the Spirit of Fred Bear lookover your shoulder at the moment of truth....takinga Polar Bear with a bow is a dream few of us ever get the chance to take, I wish you well on your hunt.

That'd cool. Not many people get to hunt Musk Ox.

So, you are going out Tuesday morning...tomorrow!
I think maybe some people might get somebody else's junk mail, as I suspect I might be daydreaming a little.

I left Ottawa this moring at 9a in a blizzard snow storm and arrived here in Pond Inlet at 5p via 1 stop and plane change. I met my guide, Sam, a very experienced polar bear hunter guide and also the inuit who took Les ? ( survivor man TV show )out in the artic to see if he could survive in the elements here in Pond Inlet. Sam also was a guide for Michele Leqve, the first woman to harvest a polar bear. Michele told me she hoped I got Sam when I came here because of his knowledge of the P. bear and many years of experience so I am obviously blessed and highly favored. The land here is not flat like in Holman. There are huge glaciers around and from the air, the land scape has many more crevices and frozen bodies of water. It certainly is cold here and brutal, we head out in the morning via snowmobiles pulling a sled with me and the gear and another snowmobile will be pulling the dogs who will ride on a sled in box that has dividers to make seperate spaces for each dog. The dogs can look out and about and yet won't be prone to fighting. We will ride this way to our hunting area, some 90 miles away. After a meal at the hotel dining room for all the guests here at the hotel, of t-bone steak, shrimp, potatoes, rice and chochlate cake, The guide coordinator came to my room tonight to certify my gear. He went over each piece of clothing, my underware, my socks and boots, my camo, my coat mittens, head gear goggles, balaclava, boot covers and neck gaiter. Next, my sleeping gear, sleeping bag, thermorest grounf pad, goose down sleeping clothes, footwear for when my boots are off and sleeping hat. Next, my hunting gear. He quized me on my arrow weight, bow draw weight, set up, checked my quiver, spare quiver, broadheads and fletchings on the arrows, bow strings, my limbs including tips, my riser, arrow rest, padded bow case and then my spare bow and arrows. He gave me the thumbs up and the game plan for the morning. I will get my tag and license after an early breakfast, load my gear and we are on our way. My laptop will stay here at the hotel. I can't sleep, i'm so excited! It's 1145p and I can tell it will be a long night. The adventure begins!

Wow!
I am digging the details. Had no clue about the microscopic examination you would get, but it is completely understandable. That is a long way out, and the right equipment is a must.

Are you awake with anticipation, or wisely snoring in your bunk?

Bryce,
From an Ole Texas Tech grad. "Put the grease where the squeek is on that bear!"
Best of luck and write us when you can.  Can't wait to hear about your adventure.

"If some of our teenage thrill-seekers, really want to go out and get a thrill, let them go up into the northwest and tangle with a Grizzly bear,
or a Polar Bear, or a Brown bear...they will get their thrill, and it will cleanse their soul."

I realize you are not a teenager, but maybe the message still rings the same bell.

Since I read about your Musk-ox, and about your quest for the bear, it`s all I can think of.

Be brave. It`s Tuesday.
