Just checkin in again.  Thanks to everyone who posted most recently.  It's very nice to have you all share this hunt with me.

Guru, a banner photo would be not to shabby.   :D  
I have never had a pic to go with my name either and I was gonna finally change that too. I think this one will do!  :thumbsup:

Randy, that was one great hunt. You did it all to the nines. Sounds like a perfect turkey hunt, come to think of it, only turkeys don't carry the ramifications that large carnivores do. ( I think "ramifications" means pointy things.)

Far from rambling, your emotions during and after the hunt brought forth a few echoes here. I have lifted my bow to the morning sun and breathed my thanks into the wind, too.

Thank you for the tale and for the hunt well hunted.

That is way cool bud!  :thumbsup:    :D   That is a good looking bear and will make a very nice rug.  I'm bummed I missed the phone call.  I just got the last of my water logged gear dried out and cleaned up the other day.  The weather looks a lot nicer though.  Congratulations! Joseph

Randy,
Thanks for sharing your hunt and the pictures. Beautiful country and setting. The bear's color is spectacular, and the grin and emotion on your face is enough to bring back memories of my own. Thanks again!!

Everyone, it's been 4 days and I am still walking around with a special bounce in my step.  It's been great to share this special day with a bunch of like minded folks like you all.  I'm going to show this thread to my very understanding non-hunter wife (cept gophers) so she can read the sincerity and depth of the things/emotions that make this thang we do so unique and special.  I know she'll enjoy it.  

Killy....as usual your words are moving and poetic.  "I've raised my bow to the morning sun and breathed my thanks into the wind".  Yup. Beautiful.

Now, back to serious hunter stuff.  All this talk of mine about emotions and such is really starting to sound weird.  I'm starting to creep myself out.        

   :scared:  

Guess it's ok to think it but saying it one to many times and you start to get sick of your own voice.  Are there any questions about the blood trail or how sharp my broadheads were?  Who wants to know where I like to anchor?  There thats better.     "[heman]"  

LOL.

Great job Randy.  :thumbsup:    One of the things I've always wanted to do was shoot cinnamon phase black bear.  Way to go!!

Ha, Ha, Ha. Keener and Killy. :cool:  Bout 100 pound ata-least.  She did do a decent job of walking that balance beam though didnt she.  She walked on a bunch of blow down that way after the shot. Made the tracking very, very easy.  Good way to travel for such big animals.  Wish I could do that but it's just a good way for us to break a leg out there.

I do that in the woods so as to be more quiet while travelling a bit faster.
Works well if you don't have to look down very often. Or get shot.

Randy: Well done my friend! I think I recognize that rockslide.. just north of Seeley Lake? Ha. Those of you reading this might find this interesting. Randy and I have never met that I know of. Through a fluke of fate I found out he was originally from Vermont. When I was about a twenty year old kid, I went to a "deer/beer" party (an event to celebrate when someone finally got one) at a hunting camp in Starksboro, Vermont. I remembered the family name was Morin. You guessed it. It was Randy's family hunting camp. Ironically, the land just adjacent to his camp used to be one of my favorite honey-holes for bowhunting deer & bear way back when I lived in Vermont. Then I find out, unbeknownst to either of us, he moves from Vermont to Montana and now hunts some of my old stomping grounds in the Swan River valley of western Montana. Randy,I guess I have a couple questions for you... am I your real father? And when are you planning to move to Iowa son?  :>)  BW

Well Barry you are my idol and a boys idol should be his dad sooooo yeah that'd be fine with me.  Lets shake on it and then make up for lost time by goin on lots of huntin trips together. We should start slow though, maybe a quaint farmland whitetail hunt so we can get to know each other and then maybe move into something exotic.  But we'll talk about exactly where to go during our Whitey hunt.  We'll have plenty of time cause I hate to go on a hunt unless it's at least 7 days long.  See, we are already learning things about each other.

 Plus you were buddies with the brother of my dads friend (Meddy Gingrass) who gave me my first recurve.  Plus I also pole vaulted and lived off of HWY116.     :scared:  

About Iowa, I was just telling the guy who went back with me to help with the Bear pack-out that I could see someday moving from Montana to someplace like Iowa when the mountains become too challenging.  Of course I had just huffed and puffed strait up for the last hour.  Coulda been alot worse though.  I tease my wife with the same threat of moving to "Whitetail only Country" when we retire.  Short answer...about 25 years.  I just turned 34 2 days before I got my Bear.  A special belated present indeed.

Barry, arent you gettin ready to move back to Montana...part time?  Or was that only your Bro?  Sure would make it easy to see each other on a regular basis...Pop.

Dang, it's hard to stop typing and joking with Barry Wensel, guess thats why everyone likes him so much.  So let me say in all sincerity....

If you would contribute to my usually lame posts more often I'd get alot more respect around here.  

I do hope to meet you some day though Barry, Take care, and thanks for dropping in. Oh, I almost forgot.  I hope you get the big one next season and not your brother again.  :D  

LOL and Happy Fathers Day. Sincerely, Randy.
