'Gunner- The luck wasn't the problem, I AM! It's been too long since I've been successful while hunting that I may have forgot how! Hoping to change that this fall!
I just got back from Minnesota. I settled for a 225# "Friday Bear."
If anyone tells you that bears don't move in the rain--don't believe it. The afternoon/evening I shot this one it rained (poured)for three hours prior to his arrival.
Yes, I got a wet ash and now have a cold! I guess that's why I'm on the puter.
Way to go Paul. I am glad you got a nice bear. I was a little worried about your future hunting 48 state bears after the Canada hunt, but obviously you did very well.
I really enjoyed hanging out with you on the north side of the border, but maybe you just stood out better because of the clowns that were there.
