[OBXarcher]

Sitting in the Charlotte  airport waiting on my flight.

Second year hunting with Tony and the gang. Can't wait.

Gonna try and do a hunt along providing the Internet connection cooperates.

Wish us luck

Good luck! What set up are you going with? Bear camp is on my bucket list, without a doubt.

  Its killing me not to be there with you guys!!

[OBXarcher]

Sean we will miss you.

I'm going to use my psax 53#. GT's and bear broad heads.

[Big Ed]

Tony and Lynn are top notch!! Good luck and shoot straight.

[Sean B]

It's 3:43, everyone's probably on stand about now!!!

[OBXarcher]

Yep we are all out. It's 87 here, not ideal hunting weather but you can't kill them from camp. I have about 20 squirrels going nuts at the bait barrel. Fun to watch till big boy shows up.

Good luck! I'm leaving this Sunday for a bear hunt in ME. Should be up a tree this time next Monday.
Can't wait!!

Mark, Ask Tony about the heat waive in 2010....it was HOT!! I hunted the entire week in shorts. Good luck bud!!

[OBXarcher]

Back in the stand. 87 again today but got a good breeze so it's not as bad as yesterday.

Bears were seen, I think 7 from the stories I heard. One was shot but not recovered. We tracked it for 500 yds today and am pretty certain it is alive but educated.

Sean, there is another Sean at the plane crash site tonight.
Uncle jim finally saw a bear.
I had tons of squirrels eating my bait and a coon come in that was the size of a small bear.
Roger saw 4 but is holding out for a monster I guess. ( maybe he wants the free widow lol )

[OBXarcher]

After I climbed in the stand tonight I  nocked an arrow then proceeded to drop it to the ground. I've done this twice before. Both times I got shot at game. Sadfully one time I emptied my quiver and would have killed for that arrow back.

[Sean B]

Ha Mark, that's my buddy the Professor, Shaun Carter. He was up there in '12.  He, like Uncle Jim hadn't seen a bear that year. Good for Uncle Jim!!!  Kent's been keeping me posted via texts.  Good luck!

I bet it was warm up there today, it was hot down here on the coast. Hope someone smacks a slob!!!

[Cyclic-Rivers]

Good luck guys!

[OBXarcher]

Lots more sighting ( not be me though)

One ground blind hunter got a show after legal shooting light when a bear came in and went to battle with the barrel. I'm sure that would have been exciting.
Roger from Black widow bows got one, perfect shot only went 30 yds. Toby's daughter shot a real nice 357# boar (270 cal) she is a happy camper.

It's drizzling now and may the whole day.

[Sean B]

Awesome!!  A little rain can be great!!!  Keep'em coming!

[IndianaBowman]

Pictures! I know Toby's daughter can't get posted, but Sean if you get it text me.

[Sean B]

I'll shoot Toby a text now Terry
