Getting amped! I've got a Black bear hunt outside of Ft.Mac AB next month. I've been getting in lots of archery practice out to 50yds, and looking goofy at the range wearing my camo & safety vest.

If it all falls into place, I'll let the air out of a nice bear. I've dreamt about this hunt since 2007, and decided to make it real last year. I just know it's going to be a monster good time.

Exciting times for sure, you will be in a great area for both size and color phase. Take your time and make your shot count. Standing by for the story, pics, video would be better. Be prepared for major bugs.

SWEET! I've been wanting to go bear hunting for a while now as well. May I will get around to it one of these years

I am going on a bear hunt in May of my own in Northern Idaho. I dont have the luxury of having a guide but I will be doing a week long spot and stock hunt. I cant wait. There is nothing better than hunting big bears!

I think we're going to have to insist on video.

Have a great hunt JoeA!

Guys, thanks for the well wishes and advice.

I hope my thermacell lives up to its reputation. Pictures and video are in the plans too.

atjohnson...good luck buddy! I hope you find a nice one. I have a cousin in Santa, ID but have never been there. I've heard Northern ID is beautiful.

Enjoy the anticipation and have a great time! I hope to actually take a few days this spring and do some spot and stalk.

Thermacells are the best thing since slice bread, but also take DEET. The thermacells work great when you are sitting still, but when you are out and about, going to and from the stand and such, DEET will save your life, well at least your skin LOL.

Good luck and have a great time!

Are you in Hawaii or Flordia?
