this is another great shot from this season which I would like to share as it was a first for me. Three brothers with their ages adding up to 227 years young. What a blast!!!! A little trash talking between them reminded me of a move I once watched. Leon the middle brother had bought the hunt for his to siblings. None of them had been on a big game hunt together except whitetail deer on their farm. This was to be exciting. First shooter was of course the eldest brother who at 79 was looking to kill his first bear. (None of these guys wanted to use bait or spot and stalk as they wanted to have the great experience of hearing the hounds.) We had a good bear treed for Ron, and with a little bit of time we got everyone to the tree to witness his first bear. A great shot left his bear 75 feet up a huge fire tree!!! With only a open sighted guide gun handy I borrowed Ron's 30 06 to break two branches that held the bear. The first one was not to bad to shoot off, the second was hidden under the bear. Well after a lit if discussion we made the decision where the aiming point was to be. As the last of Ron's bullet went on its way down came the bear!!!!!  One of my favorite al time pictures Glenn was up next, at 72 years young he to was looking for his first bear. After turning down several bears the next couple days we finally got on to a mean bear which was really working over my dogs. Once it treed Glenn made a great shot killing. Unfortunately Glenn was not able to share the kill with his brothers due to the lack of daylight left heading into the tree.  Here are a couple more shots from the week.    One I will not forget as long as I live. Doug McMann www.skinnercreekhunts.com ph# 250-476-1288 Fax # 250-476-1288 PO Box 27 Tatlayoko Lake, BC Canada V0L 1W0 email skinnercreek@telus.net | ||

Neat trip and experience for all... On the plains of hesitation lie the bleached bones of ten thousand, who on the dawn of victory lay down their weary heads resting, and there resting, died. If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue, Or walk with Kings - nor lose the common touch... Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it, And - which is more - you'll be a Man, my son! - Rudyard Kipling Life grows grim without senseless indulgence. | |||

Hunting with family produces the greatest memories. Age before beauty, not sure about the beauty in the pics other than the dogs. The pic of the dogs with mountains in the background is beautiful. | |||

Great experience!!! Craig "Gun control is like trying to reduce drunk driving by making it tougher for sober people to own cars." | |||
