Congratulations Tye on your first bear. Size or not its your first bear. I shot one several years back and it was only 150 pounds but it was a trophy to me. It was so much more work than a deer I don't care to ever get another one regardless of size. I don't regret the one I took at all and you shouldn't either. GP

Well I'm back, and with no deer.

We only got one small doe, or fawn I forget what it was. I didn't see a single deer

I jumped a couple while walking though, but could never see them, too far off in the bush. Oh well, always next year.

I like venison, but black bear is much better table fair, seems to me you've had a vary good season, TYE.

I haven't eaten bear in a long time so I forget the taste, but I can't wait to eat it

Yeah, really thick stuff. That's why I'll probably buy a shotgun to use up there also, to get through the thick stuff

Just haven't made up my mind which slug gun I want to get.

Naw, we all write on eachothers hats. It's a my dad and them have always done up there. You should see what my other hats have on them

The wardens think we're crazy..

I forgot to mention, my dad had a monster bull moose charge him on Friday afternoon. It was snowing pretty hard out and was really windy, and my dad didn't see the moose till it snapped a branch behind him, my dad turned around and the moose was 30 feet away full out charging at him. So he hid behind the tree and yelled and the moose slammed the brakes on right infront of my dad. Then the bull wandered off and stood about 150 yards from him. I guess the moose thought my dad was another bull moose when he was using his deer grunt call.

Well lets hope he thought your Dad was a bull, anything else would be terrible to contemplate. You need to teach moose not to do that. A bullet or a bolt is your best teaching aid I know of.
