Outstanding Brother!!! That story gave me chills and I was in camp with you. Right on Big Sexy, right on...

[glass76]

Sounds like you two had a great time. Thanks for the stories and pics.          

[Huntschool]

That well chosen yew and the wait for the Widow boys magic proved effective....  Congrats.

This fall I'll try and put you in a stand a bit closer to the ground.. And I thought I liked my stands low...  LOL

Congrats for sure buddy....

I've enjoyed these stories so much that I'm gonna read all this again right now!

Thanks Mike and "Big Sexy" (Brian) for supporting me as a new outfitter and trusting in me. This year has been full of making new friends and not just clients. Thanks as well for helping Stickflingers finish so strong. I've already started preparing for next year. How many sleeps till you leave??...Ryan

[Yellow Dog]

Brian, that's one trophy for sure. Great job          

[Huntschool]

I have to go do this with Ryan before my heart quits or the COPD gets me...

Ryan, having been involved deeply in the commercial hunting business for a long, long time...  the comments from your clients from this years hunts bode well for your continued success in the industry...  Keep it up kid, ya got a winner.... You are doing it right !

[Bel007]

Thanks guys.

Bruce:  Thanks again my friend.  W.R. is going down very well right now.  That yew/bubinga PAX is a fine bow for sure.

I should also mention, Tim arrowed a fine big ole boar Wed night, a P&Y blackie for sure, completing a 6 for 6 at camp.

Ryan and crew had a shorter week than they were prepared for.  And before we left camp they were back in the woods making even more preparation for next year.  These guys are making a Bear Hunting mecca up there in them woods.  Ryan will have nothing but further success  based on the business he is building and the plans he is forging.

Awesome, just awesome!

[swp]

Congrats fellas!

[Bel007]

Holy cow!  I totally forgot to send adulations to our camp mom, Bea.  She was a gem amongst a camp full of dirty old coal bear hunters.  If I thought Ryan and Ron would have let me, I would have packed her up in my duffle bag and wisked her off across the border.     :D  

Bea, bless your heart for all you did to make sure I was well taken care of at camp.  I certainly hope your cooking and care taking remains a part of Stickflingers.  

BTW, I still gained 2 pounds eating your great cooking even though we both tried hard not to let that happen.  Can you imagine what the result would be had I not shown a bit of restraint?  Right Mike?   :p

[Tater]

Great Bears..!!... Great Stories..!!

  Congrats all around, thanks for sharing your adventure.

[larry]

great story guys!

[elknutz]

Wonderful stories and pics.  Congrats to all.

[talltines]

Thanks for sharing and congrats on the fine bears.  I plan on being back in camp, sitting in a tree approximately 365 days from now.

[Steve O]

You know, after reading all these great stories, I feel shortchanged on my Stickflingers bear hunt.

We got no Bee!  

Now Ron was a fine camp cook and all around great guy, but I have a feeling he will be dusting off his guide's license to be the head trail camera guru     .  Sign that gal up for the FULL season next year Reehahn!

I think it is only about 358 days before we are pointing Northwest       I have been looking forward to it since I climbed out of that last cold wet stand.

Beautiful bears guys.  Ol' Chimaster is going to need therapy when he sees that blondie.  That is gorgeous!

[wapiti792]

Brian Lance, when you're on vacation and Ms Bee cooks like that, restraint goes out the window. On my mountain hunts my wife tells me I am skinny when I come home. This time she noticed the opposite  

Talltines, I got you by 6 days. 358 and a wake-up  

[wapiti792]

Steve you missed out for sure!!! Ron is a great guy and a world of bear knowledge, but he doesn't make dumplins' like Ms Bee    I think us clients need to make sure Ms Bee is included all 3 weeks next year, or at least the second week  

[LITTLEBIGMAN]

fantastic simply fantastic can't wait till its my turn in 2012.

[Bill Kissner]

Congratulations to you fine bear hunters! It is plain to see this was an exceptional camp and great quality animals.
