[Dave Pagel]

Hey Mike,

Look forward to meeting you.  I thought Ryan was doing four weeks this year, but Steve O. got me straightened out.  We will probably have some baits that haven't even been used with only one group of hunters before us.

D.P.

[Steve O]

You know, I was worried a little about fresh baits when we went the second week last year.  I was so worried about it after the hunt that we are going the LAST week this year.  

Don't sweat it boys    

[Dirtybird]

Good luck fellas wish I was going.

I figure it makes them less spooky if somethn was in the tree but didnt hurt 'em.  They'll be back.

And Ryan has PLENTY of baits.  

I shot mine last year off the same bait Brian Wessel did the week before, the night before that I had two biggies at another bait and missed one of them, it was the same stand that young Mr Receveur hunted and killed on a couple weeks earlier.

As long as everyone respects the stand... it aint nuttn to worry about.

[Steve O]

Yep.  Brian shot this bear 2 days after I sat the same stand:

 

I sat a stand he had hunted two or three days in a row and saw 20 something bears.  Just not   that right bear.

[Bel007]

I still think Brian should have held out for the monster I took...

He may have only been 1/3 the size, but he had sooo much character    

   :D  

 

[steadman]

You guys are killin me  

[wapiti792]

BS once again congrats on Little Ugly    I sat a bait that had a bear killed off it too. Wessel's dad killed a sow there. I sat one sit, saw 9 bears, and killed the big chocolate in my avatar. You are going to have a GREAT hunt!

[Steve O]

Word from the north country is they had awful weather the first week but persevered and took a  giant.  The Old Shortstop is up there now and I am sure he will take out another big boy!

Man, this thread is gonna be the end of me! I was oh so close to getting a chance to get up there this year! Can't wait to hear all the stories and see all the pics! I could read,talk and look at bear pics 24/7!

[Mike Vines]

Just heard from the Tall Tines crew, and the stories are going to be coming.  You'll have to wait to hear from the hunters themselves.  They are on their way back home now.
