Just because I'm happy for you don't mean I ain't jealous ;).

I probably shouldn't mention the mountain goat hunt I have planned for this fall either then eh? Or the moose hunt? O:)

Mountain Goats and the country they inhabit are awesome........don't wait too long to hunt them, those hills get steeper every year.
I can hunt moose literally in my back yard. They eat all my red osier and saskatoon bushes, break the birch trees to get at the tops, and convert it all into several hundred pounds of lean prime meat. Man, I can't wait for september ;D

     Wow! :o :o  That is a nice bear, especially for a Spring bear, just coming out of it's den, and scrounging up something to eat.  That is awesome that you were able to take it with a homemade bow, and arrow! 8) 8)  But from everything I have read about BC, and from what the few people that I have talked to that have been up there, you not only have a lot of bears, but BIG bears!  Especially the Griz ! :o  You not only have big bears, but HUGE deer also!  We have mountain goats, and Big Horn Sheep, and moose in the area I will be living in, in Montana also.  The moose are not as big, especially in the antler range, but nonetheless big enough!
I am not too far from Idaho, and they have a lot of Moose.  We are limited in the Moose hunt, though, I think it is like one moose, and that is it for life.  So maybe I can get one in Montana, and one in Idaho.  Great fishing up in BC also.  It is indeed a sportsman's paradise.
Congratulations on a fine bear, and a fine hunt. ;)  And congratulations on living in such an area! ;) 8)

Braggart..... JK, buddy. I would trade my snakes anyday for the game in your woods, but I hear them woods get cold... We didn't have school for a whole week back in February... Because it snowed and the temp didn't get above 32' From Monday at 2am until Sat around noon...
It was great  8) We had a good week... But it was COLD

     Cipriano, that was just T shirt, and beer weather for him in BC ! ;D ;D  It gets COLD there, and did I mention it gets REALLY COLD there?   :o :o :o ;D ;D ;D  He said he only carries a knife, with him when he bow hunts!  I wouldn't want to face a Griz who wants my Deer, or other kill, with just a bow, and a knife! :o  I am afraid i would have to go home, and bitch about the @$##@!!!! Griz that took my Bear, or Moose, etc. >:(  And it happens!  I read Outdoor world or Sports Afield, about a guy who was hunting up there, and had killed two nice trophy whitetails, and was starting to dress them out, when a huge Griz came out of the bushes, and started come towards him, growling, and acting very menacing.  He said he only had a .270, and was not too sure if it would handle such a large bear, so he backed off, and the Bear walked up to the deer, and proceeded to eat them, while eyeing him the whole time.  He said the Bear ate BOTH the deer, and that it ate ALL of the deer, including hooves, and ANTLERS, and all!! :o :o  He said he could only stand there and watch. >:(  He went back a day or so later, to see if he could find his knife, but he never found it.  Maybe the damed Bear ate it!  I hope it slice him open!
