Well today was a good day. Picked up my new rifle from Gone Fishing - a Browning X-bolt 300 wm -synthetic stainless - and at the same time bought my 2010 licence, grizz and blackie tags. I appreciate all the help from HBCers on places to go in 7-38. It has been two years prepping for the trip and things are coming together. Still a few final things to purchase and lots more prep work to go but it is all falling into place. I will be hunting the Omineca region for two weeks starting May 24th.
Bigwhiteys (Carl) I have been using your sheep packing list as a loose guide over the past 18 months to collect my gear and have to say you were right on with the Thorlo Trekkers and Hanwags (with Green SuperFeet). I have about 200 kms on the new boots and they are unreal. After my first 12 km hike the only part of my body that felt awesome were my feet.
Thanks to SitkaSpruce, Ron C. Rackmastr, BromBones, Beardy, and a myriad of others for all your help. I have been using Google Earth, my GPS database and topo maps to cross reference all of the info. As always I am open and eager to hear about new spots and any information anyone wishes to impart on me.
Anyway thanks to all and will post from time to time with updates of the 2010 Grizz adventure. Good luck to all on your spring bear and here is hoping that someone anchored a bear of their dreams earlier today, opening morning.
