looks like fun

Couple more random shots.  Bear camp is a lot of fun.  Even guys that are   SO intense can find some time for fun and frivolity.  

Rare shots of me!

Sorry guys.  My son was at a football camp and I was watching and picking him up.

I will put up some shots for Bryan B.  Hopefully he can get in here, I know he has a busy week catching up too.

So, here we have the first helping of "chocolate"





Bryan took this 6'-2" boar on the last day of our hunt.  If you look close, you will see 'ol snaggle toe has something wrong with his left ring claw.  I have a trail cam pic somewhere in this jumble I will get up when I find it.

Bryan made a perfect shot, so it was an easy recovery.  Mark and I were in camp chillin' out, so we hopped on a couple quads and did our part to pitch in.


The recovery team   :D  




The tool of choice (can't remember the specs on the TT, but I know BB was using Eclipse broadheads)




A nice shot of the best dressed man in camp...

Wow, love the color phase of that bear.  Congrats to a fine hunter.  Now where's that second scoop of chocolate Steve?

Thanks for posting the pics Steve!  What a week we had at Manitoba Stickflingers.  Ryan is a super guy and he has a fantastic area for big  bears.  The camp was filled with quality bowhunters and everyone was a class act!

We all saw plenty of quality bears and a few of the guys saw world class black bears.  Let me say right off that my bear was "bite size" chocolate compared to the other bears shot on this hunt.  My bear weighed 190 pounds and squared 6'2".  One of my goals was to shoot a nice color phase bear so I'm very happy with the end result.  Now I just have to figure out if I want to do a rug or lifesize mount.

I would like to thank Mark Wessel for helping me track and find my bear.  I owe SteveO a big thanks to for helping out with some of the heavy lifting.  It's always nice to share great memories with great people!  

My sweet shooting TallTines recurve is 54# @ 28".  Here is what a happy bowyer, hunter and outfitter looks like  :D
