Big Fin- You never stated who your hunting partners are going to be. Well?
Well, after all the guys I talked to cancelled, the production company asked for someone athletic and good looking to offset the weaknesses of the host. So, I had to go back to my home grounds and call on an old friend who has been a big supporter of this show and this project.
My buddy Joe, hunter extraordinaire, camp chef, man of many languages, and all around good guy, committed that he would take time from his schedule and join me. I have promised to have him home before the opener of walleye season back in MInnesota.
Next on deck was Crittergetter, if Joe had not been able to make it. I had called Crittergetter and asked if he would be "on deck" for this hunt.
He replied, "I will have to think about it and ask the boss." CG called back in less than two minutes and stated, "Count me in. Wife and I discussed in great detail and she is happy to see me go."
Now that is a guy who has things in order. I wish we had room for a third person, as Crittergetter gets after bears like they stole something from him.
So, if for some reason Joe has a change of plans, Crittergetter will be putting his big grin on the tube.
Lawnboy had the green light also, but being the responsible business owner that he is, he couldn't rationalize being gone for eleven days during the busiest part of his season. Life can be difficult when you are the owner.
I tried to bribe him with lots of extras, send his wife to Vegas with her friends, buy his wife new furniture, and many other thigngs. Not sure if his wife knows this, but he turned them all down. Even offered to hire Jose's crew to come and fill in for him, but still no results.
So, it will be Joe. Should be a great time and a great episode. We are giving ourselves more time this year, so I fully intend that two bears will get a victory lap around the island.

and won't have to worry about that kind of stuff.
