Thanks everyone for the nice comments, it was a real fun hunt with a bunch of good people!!!    As alluded to above we really were roughing it ... I wouldn't be surprised if I roughed it right into gaining 10 pounds on the trip!  :bigsmyl:

To me, the ultimate challenge in bowhunting is not how far away you can succesfully make a killing shot but rather how close you can get to the animal before shooting.

Hey guys thanks again. I am leaving for a long weekend with my wife in the Black Hills(trying to make up to my wife for being gone on the bear hunt)! :^)
     Steve, I wish I had had some extra time to try and catch up with you beings that I was so close. Anyway, I will check back on this thread either tomorrow morning if I get access to a computer or next Monday. You all have a great weekend!!!
