I will be hunting here next week if I am not lucky this weekend.  Blew an opprotunity several years ago to stick one bow hunting in that neck of the timber.  There are some decent sized bears in this area.

By my honorable conduct as a hunter let me give a good example and teach new hunters principles of honor, so that each new generation can show respect for their god, other hunters and the animals, and enjoy the dignity of the hunt.
