Holy cow...... 'er Bull!!!! Congrats to the Hunter and the Mullin's Team! And, thanks for posting so soon Amanda!! I'm not very patient in these matters

UGH.... I hate waiting!

Great looking pics, what a beautiful spot! Love the cub!

WhooHoo! Can't wait to see the pics! Those guys are awesome....

Looks amazing!!! I'm jealous Where in Alaska were you?

Great pics, looks like you had a good weekend!

Had a great (although soggy) time at the shoot, courses were challenging but fun. A big thanks to the ABA board for all the hard work throughout the Triple Crown! Sorry I missed your seminar Amanda... Hypothermia was setting in! (still can't believe I forgot my rain pants) On the downside..... 5th wheel did not make it home with us.... too much mud and crud to get it out of camp, will have to go back for retrieval.

OH MY Goodness!!!!! Now, that's funny!

Thanks Amanda! Looks like a great lineup with interesting subjects. We'll have to wander over when we are done shooting.

Looks as if there will be several good seminars to attend, I haven't seen any schedule for them though, just the list of speakers. I hope they are not when a majority of us are shooting, I would like to go to a couple!

AND.... there is that matter of a missed anniversary isn't there?

Great photos Doug, I love the one with the fence! It was a spectacular sunset tonight wasn't it!

You guys really need a new hobby! LOL

Yes, they do work. BUT......... They are not guaranteed for over 4500 feet in elevation. I've had them work for a day or two but then cannot get it to light again. Here is what the Cabelas catalog says: This ThermaCELL Mosquito Repellent is not designed to run at altitudes above 4,500 feet. The manufacturer states that units become difficult to start and run at altitudes above 4,500 feet above sea level.

Actually stumbled on this last Nov. during elk season. When we found the elk it was a few days old, the yotes and eagles had already claimed it. We went back yesterday knowing that it was far enough off a road and tucked in a canyon that it probably wouldn't be found, that said, relieved to see it was still there!

Very impressive!

I think the most important thing is to place it the same way every time. Archery is all about consistancy... Mine is at 12:00 as well.

LOL... Perfect!!!

Dear Amanda, Please send rain... Thanks, Flagstaff

Yep... you can register for the fun shoot as well as the competitive courses. Usually inside the main building of the ski resort. Have fun, it's a beautiful area!

Awesome!!!! Congrats, that is so cool!

Isn't it mating season right now? Maybe a fight over breeding rights with a more dominate bear? Hit by a car??? Sad, hope he learns to compensate.

Just returned for an amazing spot and stalk archery black bear hunt in the beautiful Misty Fjords of South East Alaska. I went with a guide out of Ketchikan whom I later learned is also a member here on CWT. Johnnie Laird with Muskeg Excursions. Sorry this is such a huge picture laden post... Bear with me guys (hehe pun intended) I just went through over 300 pictures trying to figure out the ones to post... The scenery up there is incredible! Flew into Ketchikan and spent the night, we were to take a float plane to a bay off the Portland Canal, approx. 63 miles east of Ketch. as the crow flies, but 45 minutes flight time. Alaska's version of a taxi - Carlin Air Away we go Up & Over Into the bay we will hunt in for the next week In the back of the bay is a large tidal flat, this is where we will hunt, watching for bears to come out and feed on the new grass. Because of the 'No Same Day Fly and Hunt' rule we settled into putting camp together. Here is our Kitchen and My husband and my tent. Even our own battery operated electric fence. My husband was very conscientious about checking to make sure it was turned on! Our mode of transportation, a Zodiac On our way to the tidal flat, excited but very nervous... Roger and Johnnie look confident! We glassed the flats for hours, the weather was off and on, sometimes raining and blowing hard. We spotted a nice cinnamon bear and put on a stalk, he spotted us and took off. We moved our setup and didn't see anything until we headed out. We tried to stalk again, but he winded us. It was a good day, nice to get some stalks, but I was cold and ready to get back to camp and dry out the gear. Nothing like a campfire and new friends Next day the rain wasn't as bad but we were plagued with very heavy canal winds. We didn't spot anything that day. Typically Johnnie says they see 10 - 12 bears a day in this area. It has been slow this year, they have had a very mild Winter and a early Spring so maybe that had something to do with it. I am still optimistic and having a great time. Because we don't want food smell in camp we dine mainly on Mtn. House (which I discovered isn't half bad) We were able to set some traps and supplement our dinner menu with wonderful all you could eat crab!!!! Fresh brewed coffee is a must in my book, my view every morning with my 'cup-a-joe' was spectacular! continued..... (sorry)

:lol: That is awesome!!! (although tagging is against the law) That must be the old Ranch House? What a cool pic!

Yay Marcy! I wish I lived closer, I'd love to go! Good Luck!!! By the way, welcome to the site!
