I wonder if there are any color phase bears up there. I would love to get a chocalate or cinnamon. That woudl be neat. 17 days till I head north. I am really getting excited. All I have ever hunted is deer and hogs here in Texas and deer in Michigan and Maine many many years ago. And deer in New Mexico again many years ago and not successful on any. All I saw in Maine were Moose and that was long before they allowed hunts for them. Got a shot at a six point in Michigan and missed and never saw a buck in New Mexico only does and back then not allowed to shoot them.

To get a chance to hunt theese quality animals was always out of reach for me until now and I thank God for this opprotunity and also thank a very understanding wife. She is truly a gem to put up with my bow addiction and hunting.

And again I thank my brother Danny for influencing me to get back into trad archery. He urged me until he gave me a bow and the rest is history. This lifestyle is so good and true. The people are the best in the world and I hope to meet so many of you at sometime. Especially Vermonster, Frank and Shell, Terry, Littlefeather, and many others I have conversed with on this site. This trip allows me to meet some and I hope future trips will occur. Anyway, enough rambling.LOL

you better get some sleep, Donald...you gotta drive all that way, and then cook meals, wash all our clothes, clean the tents, and if there's time left, you even get to hunt some.

CJ didn't tell you that onyour first trip you haveto make sure all theold hands have a good time BEFORE you get to haveone???

he he....just kidding, bud. I'm looking forward to meeting and hunting with you.

I donotthinkthere are color phase bears up there at treeline like there are in Alberta or Saskatchewan...I mean a color phase could always show up...but the percentages are likely to be small in comparison to black, black bears.

[CJ Pearson]

Man you guy's were up late. Donald, get some rest buddy. By the way, I have talked my darling wife into letting me take her digital video camera. My hopes are to get your hunt on video and it can be a hunt that you can always watch and remember.

[Nakohe]

WOW, hunting on video, maybe my two seconds of fame. That will be great C. J. My job keeps me up late the two weeks I am here. I rest when I get home. I will have a week to catch up before I leave for the north country.

[hill boy]

I'm glad I'm riding with Don.As wound up as he is He'll probably drive all the way up.I may even put fuel in the back of the truck and let Brad keep him in fuel.We may not even stop.Don't forget to slow in arkansas Don I want on.  

[Nakohe]

ROTFLMAO TILL I HURT.  You are killing me Mike. I'll come by at about 4 mph. Think you can jump on?          

[Nakohe]

17 days and counting YEEEHAW. Canada won't know what hit her!!!!

[CJ Pearson]

Oh man,,Mike get all the sleep you can because I got a feeling after Donald gets his 2 caribou he is going to drop off of this high and crash. You'll be driving back. This is going to be one GREAT time.

[Danny Rowan]

Ok Bubba, ya need to cool down. I hope you are getting some walking in cause you are gonna be doing a bunch of that up there and we do not need you having an anurism. Hey if ya got any of that bison burger left from my hunt last year, take some up for the guys to enjoy. Keep the Ford under the radar, I can see it now,man stopped for speeding and investigated for being on a permanent HIGH. ROTFLOL.

Danny

[Nakohe]

Hey Bro, that is an idea. What do you think C.J. should I bring some bison burger? It would work good with spagetti and hamburger helper? Very tasty stuff.

I been looking at the caribou satelite maps and we might luck out and be right in the middle of the migration while we are there.

Is everyone having as much fun as me? I am one excited puppy. Brad and Mike ya'll better be ready, cause I do not know if I can keep the Ford reigned in for long. Whoa Nelly!!!!!          

[Danny Rowan]

HAMBURGER HELPER??? Are you out of your mind, you ruin that great meat in that crap? Make some burgers out of it man or some meat loaf,chili even, but not that yucky stuff. I can see right now I am gonna have to confiscate any that is remaining when I get to Dallas.LOL

Danny

[Nakohe]

I was just informed that we probably cannot take buffalo meat into Canada. CWD and Mad Cow to blame. So the bison burger is out. I do not need any hang ups at the border. Sorry guys. We will have lots of bou meat, fish and maybe bear to feast on.

And Bro, if there is any left when you get here it will not be for lack of trying to finish it off.LOL Hamburgers on the grill everytime I am home. Makes great chili also.

Talk to your guide before dropping the cash on a bear tag.  Eight of us hunted the east end of Lac Minto and nobody saw any bears or sign.  Bear sign would have to be VERY obvious for me to recognize it, tho.  Lots of caribou, tho.  Good lake trout in the lake, too.

[Nakohe]

More pics to feed the fire. Can ya'll say OOOOOOOEEEEE. Man I am getting more pumped every day. Lets leave NOW!!!! Darn I am still at work for 9 days.  :(    :(

[vermonster13]

Dang I wish I was going on this one!

[Nakohe]

I wish you were too Dave.

[Fletcher]

If I wasn't already going somewhere else, I'd come along just to cook and fish.
