Pic of a little modifacation to the 1959 Bear Kodiak.The shelf has been lowerd and little and I cut the strike plate closer to being center shot to allow the use of a stiffer spined arrow.bd

Randy it's a proud moment when a father can share camp with his son.You've done a great job teaching Thomas the ways with the stick and string. Thomas I hope you went easy on your sisters in the details of your story.

Larry... congrats on the bear bud!!

Great story Larry! We heard wolves howl once in a while but none were spotted.

I was checking on a moose hunt in Alberta and the outfitter said everyone who hunted got a complementary wolf tag. I realize things are different in Quebec but is there a wolf season and when does it come in? A wolf would be a more prized trophy than a bear!

In Quebec you can hunt wolf from october 18th until march 31st in most zones. There are very few wolfs left actually and most are high north. Wolfs are considered regular small game by the law and require no special permit. You don’t even need to register the kill like with bears.

I hope I did not post this pic to many times already.Finally the coup de grace by the 50 year old recurve bow arrow and broadhead.
Once again thanks Tom for taking me along it was the best yet.bd

Curveman · « **Reply #553 on:** July 05, 2009, 09:47:00 AM »

It's a great shot by a great guy on a great bear with a great bow bd and I never tire of seeing it! :D

Just curious, what were all the weights of the week II bears? I have a friend who insists he wouldn't take a bear under 200lbs. I don't think we had more than 2 of more than that weight, no?

Mine was 149:

Good picture Doc…I see you were wearing orange.

Tom Phillips · « **Reply #555 on:** July 05, 2009, 10:51:00 AM »

Adding all the weights of the 20 Bear's harvested brings us to Average of 141+ # for BQ3.Steve has your friend harvested many Bears ? I have met quite a few guys over the years that have stated things like "Thats a small bear" or "Why did you shoot that Bear".Alot of those folks are the ones that only see HUGE Bears or who do not know that the average Spring Bear In Quebec weighs close to 135#s.

Caddo · « **Reply #556 on:** July 05, 2009, 03:47:00 PM »

Mine was 152#, If I remeber right, Bobby's was 185# and Tom's was 245#. I forgot what Kip and Kevin's were. That was a Great bear Tom!

fatman · « **Reply #557 on:** July 05, 2009, 03:55:00 PM »

Mine was 78#, I believe Kip's was 100#

Curveman · « **Reply #558 on:** July 05, 2009, 04:08:00 PM »

Thanks Tom. I believe he's shot two that I know of. 5-6 years ago he thought he'd shot a huge bear (his first) with a compound only to have the guide bring it out of the brush to him holding it up with one hand-we've all suffered from "ground shrinkage" I think!

It sure sounds like everyone had a great time on BQIII, but I think it would be hard not to. I've been following this thread and really enjoying all the stories tales and pics.

Another BQ trip is definitely on my list. What was the action on the Raptor stand? It sure was good to me.
