Wonder if the "Hitman" made it back yet, am looking forward to a Bear story, didn't get out for Bears myself this year.
You think the Bears got him?

Thanks for asking Bert. Had a great trip and killed some nice bears. We went with Pete Wuenschel of Ells River Black Bear outfitters and had a great trip. I took my 200# bear with my BW PSAX 47#@28" draw with a wood douglas fir shaft with 160 grain VPA terminator and shot clear through with the bear going 4 yards. My son killed a 400# plus and his fiancee took a 200# blackie, but both with wheelies so I will not post pics of theirs. -

We drove into Fort McMurray and flew 1/2 hour NW and landed by float plane. The first day in camp this white wolf showed up. [URL=http://images.imagelinky.com/1339463893.jpg] - [/URL

We came home through Jasper and I want to tell you that the beauty of that area is unbelievable. We truly enjoyed our whole trip and thanks to all the good people that we ran into on our trip. [clapper] [goldtooth]

- Passed up this bear the first evening. I think he wanted to join my wife and me in the tree stand but there was not enough room. I,m pretty sure he could have made us get out. [Eek!]
