Thanks for the compliments on the pictures.
Ithaca, no fires close by, but we are getting some smoke from the west part of the state.
Nut, feel free to use the picture, but better yet, get out here and get some shots of your own. I can show you around and house you for a few days.
Paul, good to hear from you . Ya I am planning on getting back to Lost River next spring. Have you looked into another bear hunt yourself? Looking forward to hearing about your fall bear hunts? Let us know how it goes down.
