BEAR QUEST II Spring BEAR HUNT 2 Openings

[tippit]

I regretfully must say that 3 Bears did Not have a good day on the Deli with Woody's stone points.  All had a walk up and find death moans.  Tom & I last year & Whip Lasch (as Bowdoc would say) this year.  I guess that is Woody's stand    Doc

Actually his new name is Whipcord Joe the Stoner,thank you very much and as the old bowdoc would say he came full circle...from what iceman hunted with in the begaining until Whipcord did it last week....over thousands of years of testing and still going strong...you otta frame it Joe and give it a safe place to live for another few thousand years.Purty cool story in my book....bowdoc

To help keep the memories alive, here are a few links I received from Steve once we all returned home.

Steve proved not only very handy with a bow, but also with a camera.

Lloyd explained proper procedure should a bear set it’s chin on your platform to sniff your boots. “Awwww, they’re just curious is all.”

Ummm, I am not so sure they are "just curious."

Great video. Love the part where you start breathing again in vid #2.

I love the video and the stories too.

That luminoc is a rock star.  I must of replayed that arrow flight piece 10 times.

I love this sport -- stone heads and LEDs all in the same story and both are cool.

Go figure....

Can't wait to see it when I get to my home computer!

Funny Barry story: We get to the Border and I hand out all the passports. The Canadian border guard exclaims: "Barry Wensel?! I know Barry Wensel! I read about him in the magazines! I'm a hunter too!" I say: "Yeah, that's really him but he's a real pain in the arse, don't believe what you read in the magazines!" The CBG started laughing (Barry too fortunately!) and just waved us through without a question!  

[d. ward]

Tom told them he knew bowdoc and we all got pulled to the side for inspection...bd

[Tique]

Great job on those videos; that luminock looks like a bolt of lightening. Perfect shot too.  

[fatman]
