Very cool stories and pictures!!! Congrats to all of the hunters and to Ryan for running such an awesome bear camp!  :thumbsup:
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.

Just starting to get settled in from Compton and got to read this Brian...awesome story and great bear!  

If your ears were burning it's because John and I were sitting by a Compton fire about Thursday night wondering how you were doing!

Hey Ryan, can you get your guys to compile a list of the bows/arrows and broadheads they used this year. Would be neat to see what these veteran bear hunters were using and compare it with the other bear hunters. A guy contemplating a hunt in the future might have some good info to help make choices. Just an idea. Great seeing the size and color phase available in your area. How big is your concession and how long do you expect it to be this good?

This is driving me crazy!! I am going to hunt with Ryan in 2013 and reading this again is making the wait even harder.  Whoever goes this year needs to tell us all about it.  474 days (I think)and counting.......

Tic, tock...gonna miss my hunt this year with Ryan to chase Osceola turkies and take my kids to see a rip-off of a giant mouse. I gotta wait 15 months to go back but I still got memories and a bear mount I still gotta pay for. Thanks Ry  :)

You got that right Steadman! He done ruined me...when the taxidermy feller had to get into the grizzly forms for my bears noggin I knew I needed a reverse morgage or a 3rd job  :)  

That dang Manitoba Stickflinger and his 7 foot punkin' headed bears   :goldtooth:  Ry I am going for a Steve O polar grizz, 7 footer, on camera, with a wood arra I made myself. How's that for a goal? My wife would love another bear for her living room...honest   :p
