Chad, congrats on the bear sounds like all in all it was a fun hunt. My bear hunting plans went to crap this year when my truck got wrecked, (hit and run). With no wheels to get me in the mountains and also the fact we are so busy at work, plus my wife had surgery two weeks ago, well it all equalled no bear hunting. Oh well thats life, I might try this fall if I am not too busy elk hunting!
