Bear Bownanza

[Axle]

Way to stick to your guns err...Bow.     I do not have that kind of control.   

Yep, I got a trigger on my bow and a trigger on my bang bang. Of course, I still have a little meat in the freezer too. Maybe you do too Ray 

Often my stomach tells me when to 'pull'. I have gone without deer or elk many years but not because I was not able to find animals. I raise critters too and when the freezer is full, I simply play with the wild ones. So much fun! I have harvested many wild critters but the feeling of passing one up is great. I have passed up hundreds of opportunities. Still feels good even today.

Ray if you go back and want someone along to try and call one in for you, let me know.  I don't think I am quite ready with my new Sapphire Hawk, but will be soon.  Maybe take a mule up there with us.

Machias, you are welcome to join my camp any time. Not sure if I will go back out for bears up there this year. I have not tried calling the bear in and have been fixated on one particular bear. That one I passed on last week was in the same area too. He's a small one and this time he saw me first and shot out like a rocket through the brush. It was a funny sight.

I think your bear season was very successful.
