Quebec Bear Hunt--2 Bears Arrowed on Video--added pg 42!!

[Arrowslinger]

I want to commend everyone that was on this hunt for allowing all of us to share with you the excitement of this hunt.  I have to admit before this thread I had never really given much thought to hunting bear, but reading these stories has sparked a interest in the idea.

Thanks Ray and JC for giving us a tutorial on the anatomy of the bear.       I really liked those pictures.

This is why I switched to traditional gear. I hope to share a camp with you guys someday.                  

Keep the stories coming.

[Tim Fishell]

Thanks for the anatomy lesson guys.  You can shoot 3-D targets in preparation but seeing how it is all packed in there brings it all together.  Thanks again and again for the great stories.  Keep them comming.

And next year, I'm getting video footage of Ray after 2 glasses of Marula        

Been missin yer stories Bowdoc...and maybe yer cookin jest a little...I mean, at least the entertainment while you were cookin! Thanks again for everything you did to make that trip so special. Looking forward to sharing camp with you again soon. P.S., looks like Allen's Kadiak is gonna find a new home, I sure hope she likes GA.

Jeff, can you make it up to the Cohutta hunt 9/15-16?

[Arrowslinger]

JC, I'm going to try.  I should be able to if the dove hunting is like it has been the last few years.(good for the first week or two only)  How is the hunting at Cohutta?

[JC]

The hunting is great...it's the killing that's a lil slow   :rolleyes:  

We do always have a great time during that hunt though. Should have a pretty big camp this year...there are 7-8 committed so far. See the details on the TBG thread...we'll talk about it more at the banquet.

I'am missing my cooken a little too I guess,or really just missing the group and all the bear dung flyen around the table.But next year will bring new tails to be told of the season past.Hey one more thing? How did you and Ray Boom boom finaly stop throughing you diner plates into the fireplace???I did it again last night after we ate.I responed to my wife once again!!  Thats how you wash dishes in Canada Ahh.Things seemed OK for a minute then I said you hoser at the end of Ahh.That did it!!!!

[JC]

Bowdoc, I'm married to a horsewoman...we eat off paper plates all the time unless there's company  

[beachbowhunter]

This thread is an Odyssey! All of you guys winding your way to the great wet north. Fantastic.

Ray, good thing you listened to your body. I herinated a disk pulling my bear through the muskeg in Alberta and suffered for months.

I do believe you and JC should collaborate and write this baby up for TBM!

[d. ward]

Man I blew coffee into the key broad on that one kid.What a woman,You are a lucky man to have a gal that will put up with the likes of a Traditional Bowhunter.I been married to one for over 36 years.She always says she understands.And I belive she really does.The family always comes first.But then she also me to go outside and play.Ya gotta love em ya just gotta.bd

[JEFF B]

[Miss Kim]

Bowdoc....lifes too short to do dishes....or at least 3 or 4 times a week....  :D

[JEFF B]

hey miss kim a girl after my own heart i hate dishes. down with dishes i say LOL!!!! yoy are one lucky man jc dont have to do dishes  

[Curveman]

Given all the stone points and selfbows, I am very surprised we even used PAPER plates! Why didn't we just stake pit something over the fire and hack meat off with our hunting knives?! OK, next year it's NO plates!    

[d. ward]

Good idea,I like it.That will save on water too.bd

[Killdeer]

Cooking on sticks?  :eek:  
You'll put your eye out.  

[d. ward]

Killdeer,they had a bottle of this stuff.It's gets elephants drunk.No sharp stick cooking,bd

[Killdeer]

Who'da thunka drunken trunks?    
Killdeer~Dishes synonymous? No. Dishes silly!
