Brian as old as I am I had forgotten about the "elixir of Life" thanks for reminding me.   Either my mind is going or it's the Elixir, I guess it really doesn't matter, good hunting, I'm looking forward to this fall, you may need to remind me when we are heading out.

Diet Terry? No, no I think you will be drinking straight up Mt. Dew on this trip!

Terry...I'm all about the hot chocolate....I'll even go as far as mixing it with coffee! Crazy but true! I think that's about as much as you'll see out of the "hardcore" Stickflingers crew! Does that rhyme??

Ryan, you're a poet and didn't know it!

I don't know David! Straight up Dew can have me running circles around camp and tackling bears with a pocket knife.

Note* Put the Dew under lock and key!!

David just took my truck home full of empty pails to dip grease for this week. His turn to get dirty!

I can honestly say I've never been this busy in my life...Ryan

You got any bears yet Ryan? Nothing on my baits yet. Getting frustrating. Good luck!

Hang in there Ryan! I was lucky enough to have baits hit this spring from oats leftover from last fall.....big bears too! Spring is too late to see big #'s of bears now but size doesn't seem to be a problem. Thanks for asking....Ryan

Courtesy of Ryan's truck and trailer I was able to dip 44 pails of grease today.

One guy asked if I rubbed it all over myself to attract the bears. Ya, sure!?

Although, if you go back and look at the baiting trip pics I looked like that mouse at the end of the day!

Hey that's June 3rd Brian!!! That's when we get to blow this popcycle stand and head to hunt those bruins. I just hope I don't have to haul grease...

Mike haulin grease is part of the fun  :)  You haven't lived til you've hauled grease in for bear! Good luck guys! Thanks for the words of encouragement Ryan. More snow falling right now. It'll be summer before too long  :rolleyes:

44 pails dipped in one day, you are hardcore my friend. I dipped 4 pails for my bait and got filthy. Hope your wife likes the smell of french fries.  :D

In Washington we can't bait bears, but our hunting season is from August 1st - November 15th.

Getting closer.  Tyler and Jen have been shooting good and staying in shape.  Just got back from a big track meet. Jen broke her own pole vault school record again and Tyler won pole vault, long jump, and triple jump. I'm not gonna have a chance if a bear decides to chase one of us down!  :)

Terry,  Pack a pocket full of marshmellows and drop them as you exit hastily.  I don't think it will stop the inevitable, but it may slow the bear down enough you'll last a few more seconds.   :)

Thanks Brian!  I can't help but chuckle when I hear marshmellows and bear hunting in the same sentence. Did you ever see Bill Langer's video with his dad Dick in it eating marshmellows?  A guy shouldn't have that much fun eating marshmellows.
