What if?

That’s what Frank said today. “What if we get four bears?”. Well, what if?
Tomorrow we start our journey to Prince of Wales Island, Alaska for our do it yourself black bear hunt. Four of us with four bear tags, deer permits and fishing licenses. We’re going to have fun. impotence and d claritin
We know we’ll be camping in the middle of a pile of bears but from past experience they still have the ability to be invisible, especially in the thick stuff we’ll be in.
Four bears would, for sure, max us out. I think we can handle the worry. Maybe we should call it a dream not a worry. I’ve dreamed of getting leopard, caribou, moose, sheep and the list goes on. If we’re honest as hunters we have a lot of strike out hunts. Really quite a few strike outs for each successful hunt.
I have been stunned with the dream problems like a huge Kodiak bear to get home the week after 9-11. The hide got stuck in Seattle, green, wet and very big and heavy. Now he’s on the wall and worth the worry and pain.
Three of us drove from Utah to the North West Territories and got three huge moose and three huge caribou. All that meat had to be flown out of the bush and rushed back to the lower 48 before it spoiled. What a hunt!! Worth all the worry.
So off we go on a hunt we’ve spent hundreds of hours preparing for. We’ve made reservations, booked flights, scheduled appointments, taken off work, sighted in rifles, dreamed about success and now worried about being too successful.
We can handle the risk. The first opportunity to take a good bear won’t be passed up. We’ll let you know how we do.
By the way, the weather forecast looks reasonable, some rain and some sun. Highs in the mid 50s and lows in the low 40s. Should be great!
