All I can say about the lil bastardo is it's a good thing U. Barry, Charlie, Bill Terry and Kip took a swing at him or else he might have kept Doc and me down for the count!!    I am going to stick with cold beer from now on...

Glad to help out Bill!

Good reading from beginning to end! Thanks for sharing guys. Looks like a hunt that ALL Tradgangers would love to be on. Sure would be nice to see a list of all the bow/arrow and broadhead set-ups that you veterans decided on.

We having been having trouble with the video so I will post my final comments now. I am not sure if the video will ever surface except on my personal DVD's.

Some of the things that made this hunt extremely special were;
1. I had the hat on my girls got me when the went with their grandma to NC.
2. I had the Case bowhunter engraved knife my father-in-law gave me in my pocket.
3. "The Golden One" Larry Surtees filmed the hunt. As usual, everything he is involded with turns to gold, if I may quote Chris Kinslow. This allowed me to bring the hunt home to my family.
4. This hunt was a thank you from my wife.
5. This was my very first big game animal with a bow after years and years of shooting, hunting and just plain trying.
6. I was able to hunt with people I very much look up to in trad bowhunting.

Thanks to Tom and all the other guys for the great memories.

Tom,

$5 says that's not your final comment.

I'll take that bet too...but I really don't want Charlie to win the bet as he is having Too much fun with his Bear Quest Experience     Doc

Come on Charlie, cough up the 5 bucks.  We'd love to hear more!

To take part in a Bear Quest camp is a special experience.  To have taken your very first big game animal at Bear Quest?  I can't imagine a more special experience than that!  I sure wish I could have been there to watch you float around the cabin that night!

These stories, from the very first BQ, make my face hurt from smiling so much...    

To actually participate in something like that would be a dream come true for an old "stay-near-home" hunter, but 'wish in one hand..and...' as the saying goes.  :rolleyes:  

My sincere thanks to all who take the time to present these tales, pics and vids so that the rest of us can participate vicariously!

THANK YOU!
