This hunt has been a big hit with Trad-Gangers and do not hesitate to ask for references if you have never heard of it or read any of the many past threads about it. I am hoping the bears are OVERSIZED seeing as it has been 3 years since we having been hunting them !!!

Me me me.....I'm going week two!!!

Jeff, if you ever want to make the trip again and you can make it up to VA, I have a ride for you.  You were there the first trip I went and I haven't missed one since.  I figure if i didn't get eaten on that trip, it won't happen. 

I still remember Bowdoc sensing I was a bit "anxious" and he told me, "if they get too close just say 'Boo!'  They are more afraid of you and you are of them."  That was the trip where I shot a bear at 4:30, decided to stay in the stand until dark, and later I had two big boars come in fighting and the smaller +250 lb boar spend 2-3 hours with me at 5 yards and under... the bear that stood up in front of me and his head higher than the stand while I was sitting there 6 feet off the ground.  He was staring at me and clacking his teeth about 12" from my shins. 

I later told Bowdoc, "Remember when you told me to just say Boo and they'll run off?  Well, that didn't work."

He looked down, rubbed his chin for a second and then looked up and said "Yeah... that sh#$ never worked for me either", then he laughed and walked off.  Wish he was still here too! 

I love these trips!  Lots of great memories and great folks!

Never had an experience like that again, but always pack extra underwear!

Fellas,
Since it has been a few years, don't forget to make sure your passport hasn't expired.

Rainy afternoon here, so I spent it mounting and sharpening broadheads in preparation of week #2.

Good luck guys.  Hopefully the smoke from the wildfires won't be an issue.  Be safe.
