bow , arrows and marshmallows - check I'm ready 

I can't thank Jim enough for the invite and Austin for having me along 

Well Drew.. I have to take care of my electrician!

Well, I am on my way.. sitting here at the Atlanta Airport awaiting my flight,  I can't help wondering...
It will be an epic trip for sure but I'm unsure if I will be able to shoot my bow. Last night as I raised my left arm, I felt something in my chest snap! This is a first.. of all my self inflicted injuries,  I've never experienced this. It feels as though I tore something in my pec muscle.
I was only able to shoot 3 arrows this morning and even though they all hurt like hell, they were kill shots. So I will take it easy and hope this is short lived!

Got faith you will power through. Only takes 1 shot, be safe , can't wait to hear about it all on your return. Pappy

Hoping the best for you.

Save the shot for when it counts! Have fun 

Request ice on the plane and apply asap.  Tell them you popped something picking up your luggage.

Also, if you have time, go buy some aleve and a bottle of water, the sooner the better.

As it happens,  my outfitter/social media guy's mother is a Dr. In the area. If that doesn't work,  I will go to the veterinarian!

Good option.

I need my daily update. 

All hunters are in area now.. we will do a short sit this evening then head to Whittier for a trip on the salts to fill the freezer with fishes!

How's the injury Jim?

The damaged muscle is still an issue, but far better than before.
I'm confident bears will die via arrow!

Hows the daylight up there ?     You aren't too far North of me, latitude wise, and we're getting about 22 hrs daylight at the moment. 

With any luck, the Chinook will be coming in, and your fishing will be exciting, too. 

Good to hear about the hurt not being an issue.

Thanks for the update.  Best of luck and looking forward to the next installment. 

We have been completely confused.
Is it day? Is it night? What day is it?
We have only been in camp a few days. The first day we spent fishing.  26 hours of road and fishing time kept us out of the stand.. Rick opted out of the fishing trip and was rewarded with an awesome black bear!

Nice bear.
