Sept. Ituksum Bear Hunt - We're Back !!

[Golden Hawk]

Thanks Tim! Maybe next year Bud! If you aren't makin more Trad shooters! LMAO!!

[Tim Fishell]

Yeah we will have to see how it goes.  I should have thought this one through a little better.  It was bad timing on my part.  But you know what they say stuff happens.

[Golden Hawk]

You got it Tim!

Ok I got to talk with some of you over the weekend. So everybody is aware of the arrangements I made for us to stay in Sault Ste.Marie Ontario on Friday night. This will allow us to get to know each othe some and for us to have a meal we won't have to cook prior to going to camp. Also if there are any forgotten item we'll be able to get them in the Sault. Like Labatts Blue right Rick! LOL!! We are all going to meet at the visitors center parking area by the Macinac Bridge Friday afternoon around 2-3PM. then we'll caravan across the border to the motel. From there Saturday morning to camp then a week of bears, bows,and boisterous fun.

Here we go ! Crunch Time!

[Golden Hawk]

Mr. Donigan...are you Rick and Carl out there someplace?

Yes, I'm here, just found the thread.  Been busy so havent been on the forum as much as I would like.

LeRoy, I finally found the pics of your new bow.  Very Nice.      

I've been shooting just about every night and trying to figure out what to pack.

I can't wait to spend some time in the woods with some some of my fellow Trad Gangers.      

Getting a little nervous and a little excited.  It'll be nice to be in a camp where I'm not the only one without wheels on my bow.

[Golden Hawk]

Well it isn't going to be much longer Mike. Thanks for the comments on the bow. you'll get a chance to shoot it I'm sure.

I have already packed and unpacked at least 3 times.

WOOOOHOOOOO, won't be long fella's!!!! The wife and I got home day before last, from a whale of a Harley ride out west...5120 miles worth!!! Even saw an Idaho blackbear!!!!! Gonna git the bow out this evening, and get in the backyard stand...time to git after it!!!!!

[Golden Hawk]

Best be jumpin on it Brad. I know I have been spending alot of time in my backyard stand.

[MI_Bowhunter]

I'll be hitting 2 3D shoots a week until we leave.  Good practice, and I just love shooting 3D

My club has a weekly league that you can shoot on 2 nights.   Both ground level and tree stand shots. Unfortunatly I've yet to see another trad shooter on the course.

They also have a course with sand pits for a BH league.  I'm going to be hitting those as well.

What do you guys prefer for bear 2, 3 or 4 blade broadheads?

[Golden Hawk]

Mike I am going to be shooting.....Depending on which tunes up better either Snuffers, or Simmons Intersceptor 4 blades. You will want a multi blade head that will make a big hole. Fall bears have alot of fat and hair that will plug the wound.

[jacobsladder]

Leroy...dont let that mojo get in the way when you unzip one of those big black bears...good luck man..

[Golden Hawk]

No way Steve that will not happen. Been shooting with it attached to my glove strap since it got here.

[fireman_3311]

I'll be using the Snuffers meself! I leave for Wyoming Speedgoats on aug 25, will be a nice warmup for this bear hunt!!!!

[Golden Hawk]

It's starting to look like I'll be shooting Snuffers also Brad. I'm having some trouble getting my Simmons to tune up!

[fireman_3311]

Gotta love them Snuffers....nice big gaping chest wounds!!!!!
