;D great fun
LOL that pistol grip shotgun surprised me .. I wasnt expecting it to jump so high! I was surprised on how knowledgeable you were about tracks, rubbings and you had a keen eye for the scat ;D
It was a great fun and I sure as hell learned alot.. I'm glad you'll let us newbies come hunt with you during the fall bear season -- its obvious that we both have alot to learn.

theres only one way to overcome the newbie syndrome and it just so happens to be the same way you learn things, by getting out there and doing it lolthe_big_mike said:
besides if we dont pass on what we have learned to the next one in line then the traditions and heritage will go the way of the dodo and we cant have that happening
Sounds like "three" new guys to me....SignGuy said:
Sorry S/G... but this was just too funny to let go by... have you never read any pistol grip shotgun threads yet
Just curious... what firearms have you used to shoot bears so far?
like i said you guys are welcome to come anytime with me as well if you just want to go by yourselves the road doesnt start to get real razy till a little ways in so you grand am should be good to get you to at least the first bog near the road LOL
edit to add: i am working on a new recipe for attractent scent hopefully i can have at least a close to finished batch before the fall opener that we can try out
PS if there are any profesional or avid bear hunters that do alot of bear hunting please pm me
when i get the scent finished i will be wanting to send samples to get reviews from people
