I guess that bear sausage and blueberry pancakes is on the menu!!

Awesome job, congrats!

How do you think I got the bears so close? I covered Bill in syrup     .

Blueberry pancakes and bear sausage is definitely on the menu for the next outing!

Great story and congratulations!  One day I hope my daughter can write a similar story.  You are a true inspiration to all female hunters!

I love hearing parents are involving their children in archery/hunting, especially girls.

I never intended to be an inspiration. Heck I was going to let Bill post pictures tell about the hunt. Not because I didn't want to share my experience. Just that Bill's the talker, not me. He wouldn't have it though. He said I should write about changing my shooting style, that people would enjoy hearing about it. I had never even considered other people would be interested until he mentioned it.  

I'm so glad I did post the story now, especially after hearing from you and NBK.


Thanks everyone for the congratulations!

The best role models don't become one because they want to be. They simply do things that other people respect, look up to and can take inspiration from.  You meet all of those Tracy, and I can imagine will be used as a fine example for all kinds of women, young girls, and yes, even guys.  You've demonstrated repeatedly that a hunter of any gender can ethically hunt big game with lighter bows when set up correctly.

Heck, you've inspired me to try to take a bear from the ground without a blind. What a rush that had to be!

Well done!  I really think you need to work this up into a magazine article.  The more people that can read and take inspiration from your story the better!

Thanks again everyone.

I think 4 people had bear down last time I heard anything from the Stickflingers camp. I'm unsure of the details.

Joe, I've been considering submitting an article to a magazine just for that reason. We'll see if I can fit it into my crazy schedule.
