Bear Quest III >>---> Start Your Engines

[leatherneck]

These stories are only getting better.

Barry- Don't you dare apologize for that unfortunate incident. It happens to the best of us. Everyone who knows of your hunting ethics knows that you put forth every effort to prepare for a hunt. Unfortunately, things like that happen. Good to hear the bear is going to be OK. Sounds like you had an awesome trip regardless. That young lad will never forget wht you did for him neither.

Bill- Congrats on a great bear.

Any word from group II?

[Shaun]

Group two should be in La Tuque checking in bears at the sport shop about now. Then long drive back to MA arriving late tonight. Some will have flights or more driving from there on Sunday. Look for some posts starting tomorrow and wandering in over the next few days. I bet they saw bears.

[STIKNSTRINGBOW]

I WAS supposed to be in group 2, paid half up front. Now I gotta hope my financial situation allows me to go next year.

Talked to Tom & Bowdoc on their way down from La Tuque this afternoon.  Second week had a good hunt with everyone having chances. Another big bear was shot so we'll probably be hearing more stories soon...Doc

[leatherneck]

[Curveman]

I can't wait! Who shot what, where, how?! I just got back last Saturday and I'm jonesen for more stories!      :D

[Tom Phillips]

Well I made it home last night about 3:10 AM after driving Bowdoc,Kevin Symes & Larry Dix to Albany NY Airport.A long day yesterday and very happy everything went well.This past week was a great time with alot of Bear Action and everyone had opportunities with 5 more Bears being hung on the scale.
More to follow............I have 2 trailers to unload with gear etc etc.
Glad all you from week 1 made it home safely and hoping the same for week 2 Trad-Gangers.

Tom, Your hard work and dedication to this hunt is very much appreciated bud  

[Tom Phillips]

Guru,
I put one of your SNAKE ARROWS to work,pics to follow soon.
The bow I used was a GRUMLEY repro by Trad-Gang member Matt Simpson backed with banded water snake,she is a great shooter and easy on the eyes as well !! What a combo snaked bow & arrow tipped with Woodie Stone Point made of Pedernales Chert from South Texas.

Good to see you back Tom. Can't wait to hear all about it.

[Shaun]

Tom, thanks again for your fine efforts to make this a great hunt for all. Sounds like you have a story to tell when you get unpacked and rested. This should be good...

[Barry Wensel]

Tom: I'm anxiously awaitng with baited breath (no pun intended) to hear if anyone shot "my" bear. Ha. Pleassssssssssse hurry to relay us all the juicey tidbits. U.B.

[Curveman]

4 years straight now I've been going with you and your crew Tom and I've been impressed each time. You've always done an exemplary job with nary a hitch. ("Nary a hitch?!" Sheeit, who the heck talk likes that or even has that in their head? I sound like Dickens, but that's how it came out and anyways- it's true)!    :D    Bravo!                                                  

[Randy Morin]
