Scott, You are gonna have the time of your life- or at least in the top three "times of your life." Good companions, good food, lotsa bears, and enough to do so that you won't be bored. Tom and his guys (Eric, Lloyd, Allen& Bowdoc) do an incredible amount of preparation setting stands and establishing baits. Tom also coordinated the quarters, supplies, and transportation so you'd think about all there would be for you to do is eat, sleep, and shoot a bear. Don't jump to conclusions. There is plenty for every man to do and in my opinion that makes this a super experience for a hunter of any experience level. The week will fly by and you'll leave knowing considerably more about bears than you would believe. How to judge size, how to skin, how to butcher, etc. You also will probably get to see and maybe participate in some of the most impressive blood-trailing I've seen in forty years of hunting. All of this is wrapped up in an atmosphere of comraderie and support unequaled anywhere except maybe the battlefield. This may sound overstated now, but I'm certain you will agree after your hunt unless something changes drastically between now and next June. It will take a catastrophic turn of events to keep me away. I'd probably try to make it if we were hunting groundhogs.         Grant

Man I'm all pumped up and its so far away. I might have to pass on the beers though not old enough to enjoy brew. Are the bugs going to be bad? How far are the shots? How high are the stands? Thats all the questions I can think of now. I'm really excited about this.-Scott   :archer:

Bugs are "world-class"- Thermacells are a must. Six feet is a pretty high stand, I shot my bear at thirty feet or so-pretty close. I've shot carp that far away,lol. Bowdoc was close to his that he said he got some spray blowback on impact. Pretty exciting stuff. I get excited about going, excited about being there, and then it starts all over and I'll get excited about going back, and on and on and on.     Grant

thanks everyone just finished looking over the pictures from last year and all I can say is is it june yet? Some nice bears were taken last year. I'm glad I wont have to practice my long range shooting or worry about falling out of a tree.
 What do you guys think of my bear setup 47#@30" recurve with 31" carbon express heritage shafts with a 200g muzzy phantom up front. Fletched with nanners of course. Can't wait to meet everyone-Scott

You gotta be kidding me.From the tree stand I hunted out of last year.And one of my favorites I might add...The Bowl...you know my bottom limb will hit the ground from that stand....it's only 3 feet off the ground....add a 76" long to the mix and I see danger.That could result in me being flipped out of the tree stand....bowdadddy

bowdoc I fully expect to see you riding one of those bears back to camp one day!  :)

Tom,

What will be the total cost this year and when will the balance be due?

Thanks
