Thanks everyone! Honored to be up top  :)  Thanks to my travel buddy Brian and Ryan at Stickflingers for putting up with me. Never imagined I'd kill a bear that nice. Can't wait to do it again!

Well I went to Manitoba to kill a nice rug bear for my daughter as she has wanted one, but looks like it will end up a full body mount with a rock incorporated into the mount along with an arrow with a knapped point and the skull fitted in there somewhere. It is a dream bear that I doubt I will ever match, so a dream mount will be in order. Gonna take my lunch to work a lot to pay for it  ;)   Shakes my friend all claws are accounted for. Sorry brother  :)  Gonna go back this spring for nice black bear for my daughter's rug...after seeing Ryan's territory and hunting with him, I'd say I have a good chance.

No way Steve O...next year I am getting my money's worth  ;)  You can bet I will bring my flyrod and plenty of bunny arras just in case. That place (as you know) is dye-no-mite!!!
