I just got in from the Buckhorn Shoot that Tom helps put on each year. Had a great time shooting with Tom & Eric! Three surprises:
1) Tom is bringing a Double Bull for anyone who wants to be Up Close & Personal!!!
2) Eric was busy building some new bows last winter...Got my Bear Quest 08 Bow! Just wait til she see the pictures of this beauty and Wow does she shoot. Thanks Eric.
3) Tom & Eric have agree to join Team Tippit. We'll all be shooting selfbows with Tippit Trade Points. They're called trade points as Eric and I did a little trading. Eric made an amazing cherry turkey box call (with a couple turkey notches already in it from this spring)...looks like I got the better of that trade tough

Wow. I have never had experiences like that. But from what you can probably tell in previous posts have done the high and back aways strategy. This makes me pumped. I am sure I will be learning a lot. Thanks guys.
Tippit - I thought we already were up close and personal! Whats next, a lawn chair next to the bait? Bring a taser for those boars that want to get amorously friendly?

some of you may know more of this than I but the airlines now allow only one checked bag and a carry-on, it changed May 5th as Barry and I found out in the airport couple weeks ago in Florida, you can check two but for a fee, usually $25

Yea Thomas United was the first to go and that is who I am flying with but the others followed suit.I already got a change of flights this week they are O.K. but hope for no more changes,hate airlines. I sent a package to Tom so that I can pack gumbo ingredients and crawfish for an etouffee in my ice chest.Buy the way I have never shot a deer or hog sitting down and shooting that way is foreign to me so that is what I have been and will be doing the next 3-4 weeks.Looking forward to meeting all of you very soon.Kip

I thought about asking Tom if he wanted me to bring my Double Bull. It should be easy enuf to just build a natural blind, tho. With the tree stands set 5 ft off the ground, a ground blind wouldn't be that much different. I'm thinking about bringing my bear spray, tho.

To answer a few questions:
The photo of Large cabin will be were 10 stay and myself and other Western,Ma boys will be right alongside cabin in trailer.
You thin bloobed Southern boys might want to bring your sleeping bag as well as extra blanket we have never had heat on should be great sleeping weather for you guys.
Fred you can bring your Double Bull stand so we will have 2,we just need to be careful with them $$ pricey buggers setting them up in the close quarters Boreal forest.
I will check next week when the 1st bait trip is about washing clothers at camp. Picked up more grease today on way back from Traditional Shoot.
THis morning my wife noticed a DIESEL can FULL of Fuel had been dragged about 40 feet and had holes in it.I checked it out tonight and appears a BEAR dragged it off.Brand New can that was sitting with 11 other filled with GAS and 2 other NEW Diesel cans that were full !!! The Bear must have a weidr appetite.
The stink baits buckets have NOT been touched and he has to cross the scent of them to get to gas cans !!!
Soon we will be in LaTuque !!!

I'll bring the blind and a chair, Tom. I just found out that Eric Ackerman is coming, too. I'll be shooting his old Robertson LB. It's a small world, indeed. This is gonna be a fun hunt.
For us "bear virgins", check out the Judging Bears thread. Great stuff there. I'm excited about just watching them for a few days first; maybe shoot some video.

Tom,
A couple bags of those real fragrant sweets would work just fine as a trade :D
The shooting with you and Eric plus Rob, Brent, Cecil, and our new tradganger AlanF was just great...doc

Fletcher, you can't bring bear spray over the border. The penalties I believe are severe. You can buy it where we stop in Canada. I don't know how much as I've never bought any.

It was tough missing the shoot this year.One of my favorites of the year. Hope you had a good turnout. Did make a bait pickup on Sat. Taking a break from unwrapping. Been at it 2 hrs now and hardly made a dent.
