I can give you a hand. My way anyway. So far they have blown through two bears on this trip so they must be sharp enough.  :)

nope no phones no computer service no cell phone service.There is a radio system at Rathman's lodge we can make and recieve calls on however its kind of spendy to make phone calls out on but no internet service.
There is also a relay station about 30 miles away that has a pay phone.You may want to buy a calling card for that pay phone though.
During the week someone normaly drives into town for whatever it is we need.Guy's can always ride along to town where there is cell service.bd

Got the clothes washed in scent free, cleaned and hanging outdoors, sharpened the blades, putting stuff together on the floor in my ready room so I don't forget anything and I am meeting Doc Springer at 4 to shoot our club's 3D course. Oh yeah-I'm getting psyched!!!

I'm all packed too. Got everything in one duffel bag. NWA has a limit of 50 lbs. per checked bag with total demensions of 62 inches. Got my bag at 45 lbs. but it's six inches over (68" total). I think they do that on purpose so they can charge you extra. I mean, it's just a standard duffel bag that I've used for years. I suppose it'll come down to what mood the guy/gal is in that particular day. I know I'll be in a good mood cause I'm going bear hunting again with you guys. See you all Friday. BW

Just talked to Tom as they cleared the border.  All 21 baits were hit and had Bear $#!* on all   :scared:  Just for luck, they added one extra bait on the water.  Yes U.B. resurrection stand was licked clean  :)

I got all my knives finished and Team Tippit broadheads sharpened, guess I'd better start packin' too.

Almost forgot...added new member to Team Tippit.  Lloyd made himself a hickory selfbow with Eric.  So I made up a little extra mojo for Lloyd...Ted Frey Raptor arrow with Team Tippit broadhead...Doc

I never finished up Bowdoc's spear point head.  But if he falls asleep & dangles his feet off the stand like last year...only to be awakened by bear hair ticklin' his toes.  He might want to take a camp knife with him...maybe something like a foot of steel with some osage.  Yep she'll be goin' Nord...Doc

Abouts packed and ready myself I'am shipping my bow to Tom at 8:30 am tomorrow that seems to cost about the same to mail a bow 3 day priority as it does for the extra bag on a plane.
oh yeah Doc thats a dandy looking knife right there.Darn it you did not get the Brittany Spearhead done ahh ? thats to bad.I was so looking forward to spearing a bear with it too.Oh well that will give you and I a good reason to go back next year.bd

I thought maybe you could just lash the camp knife to a stick and kinda do your thing.  Heck I can even sharpen the top spine if you haven't been working out at Gold's Gym  :)

Evening Gents,
 Just returned from 2nd baiting about 1 hour ago.A marathon to say the least.Things look good.We saw alot of Bear Scat and the bugs were there waiting for us !!!
 5 Baits are on the water the rest on land.The Bears must be going crazy with all the concoctions of smells we administered at each sight.James Valley,Anise,Vanilla,Liquid Smoke,Smoke Sticks,Fresh meat scraps,grease tracking pits for happy trails and many different pastries.Well gotta finish unloading the 3 doz or so bait buckets to be refilled later this week with meat scraps.Over & Out for now.
