HOOOOLLYYY $#!T!! Never in my life have people ever cared to hear me talk, I pretty much ramble at people for a living Most of the time they want me to shut my trap!! See heres the problem. I have been up since 4:15 went to work till 2 sat in meetings from 2-5. had my fighting group from 5 till 8 get home eat shower now I'm spent. this goes on for days. the days i'm not fighting I'm wrestling and Juggling women. You have no Idea what it's like.. LOL
OK I'll get this ball rolling then get back to it tomorrow as it's :50 min PAST my bed time..
#1. I'm fine thanks for all the concerning emails and funny posts on my behalf, I love you guys I really do.
So My hunt started on Jan 18, 2009 at 8:27 pm (I remember cause I saved the PM I sent to Tom) All excited I decided not to hesitate with fear of missing out. So of course I committed sent him a check and hit him with a barrage of questions.
Now let me give you a little history of me and bear hunting........There isn't one. I have never bear hunted, MUCH LESS seen a bear in the wild, aside from the Staten Island Freakin' ZOO!! and that was probably when I was 7. Now for some reason I have a fear of bears, Why I have no Idea. The only thing I can come up with is the stories I read and hear from others are Nightmare-ish. From reading past BQ Posts about Uncle barry wondering if he was gonna have to shoot his way out of his tree stand to my buddy Randy (FerretWYO currently featured on the top banner) telling me he once had to punch a bear in the chest to keep it from standing on his tree stand with him in it. Now I may be small in stature But I'm no Puss. However when it comes to bears I cant deal. I am known to sleep upright with my gun in my hand staring out of my tent waiting for a bear to come get me and try to eat me like a burrito.
SO the main factor for me going to Canada was to get over this fear, secondly was to do something pretty bold Like go out of the country with a bunch of Strangers (and I mean STRANGers) to do something I really have a passion for. Plus I figure I'm not likely going to elk hunt here in Colorado, I might as well go somewhere different and have a good chance.
So my questions to tom were more like...UuuUh is there gonna be someone with me in the stand? has anyone been attacked by a bear? Will I sleep in a house because bears can tear through vinyl tents. You get the picture.... More Concern for my safety, than what the potential was that I was going to shoot a nice bear. Tom assured me that I would be in more danger of falling out of the tree than getting attacked By Boo Boo..
So the research began, I started Looking at google earth, trying to figure out where we would be (which I STILL cant figure out) and planning my travel arrangements.
