    Good job. I have seen two very big bears and past on them(old). I have seen a just right bear and he was too fast. And I have seen a small bear. Grouse are plentiful this year. Blue and ruffed. Time to go fishing.

    Look around is there someone you can introduce to shooting because that’s the only way we will buck the anti gun trend sweeping Canada! "tigrr 2006"

    Re: Ain't it great when things go your way?

    Thanks again for the great feedback everyone. So we ended up getting about 130lbs of meat, somewhere between 20-30lbs of fat, and I don't know how much the hide weighs but its a decent amount. Its hard to beat the taste of fall bear. His heart was absolutely delicious.

    Wild game meat is always so much darker red than the store bought stuff (not sure how that bottle of cedar spray got in the photo)



    Good luck this fall folks. Can't wait to get back out there next weekend

    You bet it was a total team effort. My wife always carries her Savage 111 and always has tags in her pocket and won't hesitate to try and get something that tickles her fancy. Good to know others hunt with their spouses too. Sure is nice to be able to do that eh?
