SeAk is at work--comes home next week. My achilles are slowly but surely healing (and I do mean slowly). I'm going to physical therapy twice a week, and have been getting back into the gym. Casually walking one mile is nothing like my jogging 4 miles before last summer, but I figure I gotta start somewhere! If I get a chance at a bear, I'm probably going to use my rifle...it was my Grandpa's (he gave it to me in October), and both my father and my uncle used it to take their first deer when they were about 14. So, sentimental. Plus, I think I'd just be a little more confident with that until I practice more with the bow. (And, to that end, I even need to invest in my own bow! I've been using my mom's!)
