Jeff !! Congrats! Thats the way to paint a carpet. Your broadhead did an amazing job! Quick work as well seeing as "she" only made it to the brook.

He did win the pot for the Biggest Bear taken in week one...But he wasn't the biggest bear seen. That is another story! tippit
Does the pressure of taking the biggest bear most years ever get to you? Couldn't happen to a better man
Speaking of other stories of big bears Mr Gimble???????????????????????

I forgot to say my tippit broadhead took out the heart, the brachial plexus (arteries coming out of the chest to front leg) of the off side leg, and hit the off side humerus thus the appearance of little penetration. I'm sure he had a death moan just that I couldn't hear it.
I left my tippit arrow with Tom...hopefully he'd add some more mojo this week.

I started my Bear Quest 6 adventure when I left Kentucky for Boston via U.S. Airways where I was met and hosted by one of the greatest men around on TG -- Jeff (Tippit) Springer. We had a great evening and a sound night's sleep for the trip to La Tuque the next day.
Jeff and his lovely wife, Molly, have quite a beautiful home. I must say that they are great hosts.
Jeff had to tend the horses since Molly was away at a horse camp in Vermont.
Before we left Jeff's house on our trek to La Tuque, I studied the bear target out back to make sure I knew where the kill zone was on a bear.
Friday morning couldn't have come soon enough for me. But it did and Jeff and I were ready to make the 8 1/2 hour drive. But before we left, he had to say goodbye to the girls.

The only regret to the entire trip, was that Barry Wensel wasn't with us. Last year Jeff, Barry and I made the trip together. Barry was surely missed, but not forgotten on this adventure.
