As most of you know I had a "mild" heart attack on May 17th. So far so good. My prognosis is good but I'm still in the initial stages of treatment which include FIFTEEN different daily medications; three inhalers; one daily injection, as well as seven additional vitamins. This is tearing me up as I have a bear hunt scheduled to leave this weekend. My "team" of doctors, friends and my family are saying I'm stupid, irresponsible, irrational, selfish and unrealistic... but I really want to go. Frankly, I honestly think I could pull this off physically as I feel pretty well right now. My only symptoms are a chronic, dry cough supposedly caused from one of the meds. They've changed that combo but said the cough might take "a week or two" to get out of my system. Point being, a chronic cough won't go over well on a bear stand. Deep down inside I know I should postpone my hunt until next year. For those not familiar with Tom Phillips Bear Quest camp there are years of positive feedback on this hunt in the TG archives. This would have been six years in a row there for me. I usually pass up between ten and thirty different bears (under ten yards )per week on this hunt. I realize this is extremely short notice but if anyone would like to take my slot on Hunt #1 which is June 9 thru 16th (this weekend) we'll forfeit my $350. deposit from the hunt. With Father's Day approaching on June 17th I thought maybe someone might want to get Dad a gift he'll remember for the rest of his life. Tom can answer any questions and can be contacted at
[email protected]. Not only is this a great hunt, in a great camp with a bunch of outstanding, experienced traditional bowhunters but it's at a discounted rate for an experience you'll cherish the rest of your life. Thanks again to all those who have contacted me in the last few weeks with thoughts and prayers. To all my friends and family who thought I was a stupid, irresponsible, selfish, irrational idiot... I hope you're now happy. Thank you. BW aka UB
