Thanks gang. The kids were pretty pumped. Ben so wanted his friend to get his first bear that he wouldn't take one until we got Gogo one. I'm really glad for Gogo, he's a great kid. The bear he got was about 61/2 feet, not bad for a first bear. Ben's was a bit smaller, but it is quite a challenge with a muzzleloader, still a decent bear though.

I may go out next weekend, but will only take a real lunker with a bow. We are lucky to live in bear mecca, so having taken good ones in the past it will have to be a real special one before I unleash an arrow.
Good luck to all you other bear hunters!!
