If it weren't for the fact that our first grandchild is due around the time of this hunt, I would have jumped on it.  Will have to wait until 2018.

Mike,
Your photo reminds of something from Harry Potter.  Great photo!

I'm not sure what I can add that has not already been said. If you want to hunt bear. Stickflingers is the place to do it! You will not find a more accommodating bunch of guys. Tracy and I are looking forward to stalking down some of those 2 tracks. The bears are everywhere! Then spending the evenings ground hunting on a bait site. There is lots of excitement to be had at Stickflingers.

I would post a pic of Tracy's bear from 2 years back but I'm having issues with photobucket.

Ryan, Any objection to us bringing Moe the tracking dog back up this year?

Instead, how about one that may be still roaming around? This from two years ago.

This spring will be my first bear hunt. I'm super excited to meet Ryan and his crew. I have heard great things.

Bill, and objection to me bringing a "few" milk bones for Moe?

 

He probably needs to keep his caloric intake high for all that tracking.

 

besides they taste really good!

:scared:      :D   I'm finally getting him back down to fighting weight after you two Jim's fattened him up in CO. Moe's whole life is a treat. I don't think he needs any Milk Bones.   :D

Ryan has a great outfit. I wish our timing would have worked out better this year. Can't miss graduation...

I have been back and passed a total of 27 bears in 5 days. Ry is my friend but I say this with all honesty: he is a heck of a bear guide! See you in 14 weeks brother! Can't wait! TTT!!!

I hunted with Ryan in 2016 and shot a nice bear.  Well run camp with lots of bears.  Probably the only camp where hunters get down out of their stand and raid the bait pile for an early evening snack!

Mark,
Tomorrow is promised to no one. Seize the day!!

I was in your place two years ago. I decided to just make it happen and never regretted it. It's a special place with great guides and lots of bear.

I saw over twenty bear and that is on the low side for most hunters, I think.
I saw bigger bear than I shot, but was happy with my bear on the last night.
