Tom, you are one strong dude. :eek: That bear was humongous. I wish I had been along on that retrieval to witness it in person. When they said you carried that bear out on your shoulders, I couldn't believe it! We shoulda put it on Matty's back. If it didn't just mash him in the ground he mighta carried it too.

That darn Dick Langer suggested to maybe skin the bear place the hide over bowdoc it would have been about half the load for Tom.as you can see from the pics no need for that.bd

Awesome job Tom!

He'd sure come in handy in elk camp eh Bill?. No more boning out and all those trips packing meat.Just get Tom over there problem solved

Did Dick get some footage of the recovery?

Hi Kip
Jay got here around noon on Sunday. We had some catching up to do and called it a night around 2 am Monday.He headed home Monday morning around 10. Mighty good of him to stop by.

PV,
Dick & Bowdoc caught the entire carry out of Mr Big. I traded Bill some steel for his DVDs and that footage. If I now can only figure out how to get it on here along with Mr Big the night before I shot him, I will. That is if Bill doesn't mind as it is his commercial footage of Tom carrying Mr Big...Doc

Tom, your carrying that bear IS impressive!! That's all dead weight that has a tendency to roll aound on ya a bit, unlike a barbell though that would be difficult enough!

Did anyone mention that it took three men to get the big beast on Tom's shoulders. Yes PV the vidio footage was captured.

Bill Kissner · « **Reply #513 on:** July 02, 2009, 08:21:00 PM »

Yeah Paul, Tom would be a welcome addition to any elk camp and certainly mine.

Hey Kip et all,
I made it home safe and sound late Monday. Holy cow, I have a lot of reading to do!!! I need to go back 20 pages and catch up on all the stories.

First things first ..... A special thank you is order to Tom Phillips, Lloyd, Allen, and Bowdoc. What an incredible week! You always make this a week I will long remember. I had a fantastic time and I hope to see you all again next year!! Thank you to all the gentlemen I was fortunate enough to share the week with. It was always a pleasure and if you ever make it to VA, let me know an we will find a place to shoot and maybe do some hunting. It was great to see some familiar faces in La Tuque as well!

A big thank you to Kip my navigator and caffiene administrator for the long drives. Thank you Paul for welcoming me in and sharing some stories after the hunt. It was great to see you again.

More to come..

OK, this is what came out of my R&D QBQ III Research Team. This design was the best (for me anyway) of the knives that I forged up for '09. Just Finished up my version of the 2009 QBQ III Skinner. Each year ya'll (that's for Kip) have helped me make Tippit Knives one of the fastest growing Non-Profit Knife Makers in the Province of La Tuque

Thanks and we'll start all over for next year...Doc

QBQ III Skinner: Seven inches OAL, hand forged 5160 high carbon steel, finger length blade with slight hollow grind, and spalted oak handle (Thanks Kenny)
