>>>-------------> traditional bowhunting only

[Mooseman]

Well, I got some news for you.......... As of May 1st 2007 we are a 100% Traditional Only Guiding Outfit. We still have a couple of rifle and compound clients booked for 2007 and 2008 but the rest and all new bookings for my guiding area are and will be 100% Traditional Bowhunters only. That combined with the European Tradition of using tracking dogs to find wounded game I can honestly say that we are proud of what we do and how we do it. Perhaps this day might be marked in a hunting history book somewhere.

As far as I know we are the first to go Traditional Only in BC. I am not sure yet what else it could mean in the big picture but I am sure we will have a lot of fun at work.   :p

Michael,

Thanks for the PM reply. As I had written in my PM I was happy to hear of your going only traditional. Lets talk about a 2009 moose hunt for me.
Looking forward to getting to British Columbia next week. Stalking bears with a stickbow; does it get any better?

Michael, Congratulations!  I think it is wonderful that you are going all trad!  I hope it works out well for you, and can't imagine why it won't with what I have heard of your set up.
I sent a PM about a possible trip in 2008 or 2009.

Yea...Sorry I forgot you Terry..     .Who else is in our group???  

Isn't it Dudley and Mike from Powerbelt bullets??

[Rick Wiltshire]

Anyone going in 08 that needs another guy to fill out the group let me know.  Rick

[Mooseman]

WOW. I thought I would let you guys know and did hope for some posts but nothing like that! Thank you all for your support and wishes here at trad gang, e-mails, PM's and phone calls. I am stunned and more excited about it then ever. If I missed any once PM or mail please let me know. That caught me off guard and I think I mixed some up.

Buff - I too am looking forward meeting you guys this Fall !

John III - I am packing and ready to get you at the airport next Tuesday with Dave the winner from the 3 Rivers draw.

Keith - I know! It is a long wait but they will grow a little more for you and your gang.

Falk - Da sind wir hoffnungsvoll und zuversichtlich. Danke Dir !

Denny - Thanks, DQ and the rest of us had a blast. I hope he is slowly forgetting when Scott shot his bull at 9 yards and I had pushed the PAUSE button    

Terry - I am very much looking forward to that hunt and to meet all of you.
