Checkin in after a few days away from the old computer.  Yance, Antelope is next on the agenda starting August 15, followed closely by Elk.  Thanks for all the kind words everyone.  Doug, thanks.  Joseph said you were at the Moose creek shoot chippin rock but I missed you.  I couldnt hang out a bunch anyway cause I'm always working weekends.

Congrats, Randy!  Great bear, pretty bow, and wonderful story!  I told you in one of those last emails that you should be a writer.  Man I'm good...just kidding.  Thanks for sharing and forgive me for taking a little more pride in your hunt than I deserve, but it really makes me feel good that you shot her with the Shrew.  I couldn't be happier for you.

That was a great story. I can only imagine being on the ground looking at a bear that's thinking you're supper.

Hey Justin!  Good to hear from you again.  As the previous owner of a fine bow you are allowed, I believe, under the official trad. bowhunters story sharing rules, to take an otherwise innaproporiate amount of pride in the above mentioned bear hunt.      

Your mojo will always be there along with Mr LaClair and his fine bowyer. I'm hoping you will be really proud again atleast three more times this year.  That would be Antelope season, Elk season, and then Deer Season.   :D    

Thanks for the pat on the back and my favorite long bow.  She's a keeper for sure.      
Randy.

Randy... just wanted to jump on here and tell you congrats.
I think I'm hooked on calling. After years of bait sittin (REALLY! I counted the hours) I think I've found a new love.

That looks like fine country you took the bear in. We need to compare notes sometime.

Great story & pics, CONGRATS!!!

Yeah Charlie, we should compare notes sometime.  That wont take long on my end...something like....call every 5 minutes, beautiful bear comes in and presents a shot, shoot, track'm down.  Haul'm out.
Ha. Ha.

Thats about how lucky I feel regarding this hunt.  This was the first time I had ever set-up to really do some calling.  Guess you could say I'm pretty hooked too.

As said in my email mate... Well done!


From Oz... Alan.

Rnady, great telling and hunting. Calling bears, just the thought makes the hair on my neck stand up. "Here Mr Big Ol Preditor.... come get me..." Yikes! Well done!
