Title: Here we go
Post by: jtrammell on August 09, 2014, 07:36:46 PM: So this hunting season will be a very short one for me. I was told yesterday that I will need brain surgery. I will make this hunting season one to remember. When I first moved here to Washington all I wanted to do was harvest a black bear. I have until mid September to do this because that is when my surgery will be. I'm heading out tomorrow to hunt in Bremerton with high hopes of getting one!

Don't take this as me asking for any pity or sympathy.

Please excuse my ignorance, but who is Dale and what is a map pack?

Our thoughts and prayers will be with you...

I don't know that area well and haven't had much luck getting one myself lately. If anyone deserves to get one... You do! Best of luck bro!
