Thumbs up Great bow bear hunt

I was just up in peers alberta on a bear hunt, for 500 dollars McLeod Valley outdoor adventures set me up on 3 stands and i took a nice black bear. To top it off i found a great taxidermist "sugar creek" where im getting it done.

Red Deer Archery Centre is on Gaetz Ave a block north of the Parkland Mall on the West side of the road. Across the street from Kipp Scott Pontiac and just north of Arby's. Their phone number is (403)343-1153. Pat and John know their stuff and will help you out with whatever you need.....great people.

Bear obsession.......great bear, want to see pictures here and at the shop. Always fantastic to see the excitement in a hunter who has taken their first bear. Doesn't seem that long ago when it was me but that was already 10 years ago. Know the feeling, the shakes to where you wonder if you are going to be able to climb out of the tree stand or if you are just going to fall out. Good on you!!!!!!! Sounds like McLeod Valley Outdoors Adventures has a decent option for guys that don't have a lot of time to do the baiting for them self or just don't really know what to do. I know you fellas are heading back up there next year for some great adventures and memories.

Congratulations again........Marco

We need pics! Maybe copy them then edit the copies to fit (if they're digital, I do that all the time). I need a fix until I go hunting next week.

After being in his shop I have no doubt in my mind that it will be better than I expect, but thanks for the reassurance.
Please send pics after you get yours back so i can get more excited. Also anybody that shoots a mathews please give me your info because I am having a hard time paper tuning mine and i dont know if its me or my bow, but everything else is top knotch. Quiet and deadly.

Default cleaning skull

Hey jeff I believe that if you called marco he will tell you what to do so you don't have to keep smelling that aweful smell . Congrats on your bear that is awesome. And as for your paper tuning we couldn't fully paper tune craigs bow either because of his fingers. It might be the problem but bring it by the shop on tuesday and we will see what we can do.
