Steve-O, just seeing this as I've been mostly hunting hard since Sept. 15 and not on-line much at all.  Enjoyed the entire journey here.  How different this is compared to what too many of today's hunters who have been weaned on TV many consider to be "bowhunting."  There is so much "ownership" in Steve's kind of hunt.

I'll take one hunt like this over a whole bunch of hunts where someone else did all the work for me.  Good work Steve.

Last night I got an invite to meet up with Steve O. and some of the Michigan longbow guys. They were at 7 Lakes State Park in Holly Michigan. We met up after the evening hunt to share stories and food. Steve brought a roast from that bear he shot in a Dutch Oven. Man was it great! I can't wait till he gets another one. Again, great job Steve.

I also had some of that bear roast. It was very good.  Thanks again Steve.

Steve,

Congratulations on a great hunt, for telling a great story and for setting your priorities in the proper order before the hunt, after the shot and after recovering the bear.  Thanking the Lord for your family, your country and a clean killing shot was right on my friend.  I love the fact that you had your family involved in all aspects of the hunt!

I kept making myself burp just so I could taste it again, and again.  That was the best roast (from any animal) I had ever had.

Thank you all for the kind words.  Hopefully some of the info I presented will help some of you in one of your hunts.  I tell you what, I am   SO impressed with how good this bear is to eat.  I love to eat and have done so in some world class restaurants...that bear pot roast I cooked up in the Dutch Oven was one of the top 10 meals I have ever eaten    :thumbsup:

Man this was quite a story. I love the involvement of your family. Having 4 kids and a wife who put up with my traveling and hunting I can't imagine what this means to all of you.

Thank you!

Had some requests in Kalamazoo to bring this up for some computer "challenged" guys.

We had bear burger steaks last week for dinner.  I still can't get over how EXCELLENT this bear meat is.    :thumbsup:
