TallTines Week @ Manitoba Stickflingers...A double dose of Chocolate!

[Herdbull]

Since this is a trad site we can't show the final bear, but I think it would be OK to show a picture of the live bear. Maybe Terry can confirm or alow a picture of the live bear taken by the hunter 5 days before he killed it. No mention, just a simple picture of a live bear. If not, no big deal. Thanks to all. Mike

This bear was a huge part of our hunt, and a symbol of ethical bowhunting. Mike

Matt was able to get photos and video of "Coach Ditka" Sunday night.  He passed up a low percentage shot I believe on Tuesday, and was able to make it happen on Thursday.  This was the first time I have been able to hit the black bear rut and it was amazing.

What was the experience and outcome of Mr. Brian and Father Mark Wessel's encounters with these furry critters?

[Steve O]

Couple of other shots.

My buddy, Gary Wissmueller, part of the original TT crew could not join us this year.  A few years ago, he had to back out of one of our Alaska trips and he gave me this Shiller knife so he would always be along on hunts even after he is gone.




I also got a new waterproof Panasonic point and shoot camera recently, so was taking a few shots learning what it could do.




I am pretty happy with it.
