Just got to spend some money at Jim's tent at Cloverdale this morning, enjoyed every minute of it!' Made the mistake of shooting a Thunderchild...Now I gotta find the $ in the budget;)

Nice job Jim! We've got quite a few extra bears out here in Cali too if you want to add to your collection!

I decided that I would just do a little measuring:

Deer hide-65 thousandths
Bear hide-65 thousandths
Sealskin-25 thousandths

Being able to shoot all three right here in Alberta: priceless

Big Jim does not like to advertise them but he has a stash of very special broadheads made specifically for shooting Alberta seals...as you can see from the entrance and exit wounds they cut some big holes in thin skin

We hunt seals at night here when the security guards at the zoo are eating donuts...under those circumstances you need a quick kill which those heads deliver

Jim I would take you on a seal hunt when you finally make it here to Alberta to hunt something with me but your hunting stories always seem to involve sleeping, snoring, and whatever other unimaginable things you do while sleeping...just seems to me the seal hunting would end up on a sour note although the headlines might be kind of interesting...oh, and btw, good job there in Alaska

Congrats again Jim.

It was great Visiting with you and Barbara this past weekend.  

I couldn't stop holding the Bow you used on this trip. It felt good. Real Good!

Not sure if I did myself  a favor by not shooting it but it sure made it easier to walk away.  Now the thoughts I am having are driving me nuts.    :help:    

I loved hearing your recap of the hunt in person!!!  I hope you had a  safe trip home.
