Is this the first job offer? Gonna get any more? Sure ya wanna work for the gummint? Tough decision. Keep us posted.
Elkhunter- Nope, not a bad thing, just relating that a fast and fancy free lifestyle
is ending.
Thanks WH!
Ithaca- I don't know if it will be a career (plus its an internship position), but I think the experience will be worthwhile. The biggest thing my CV is lacking is experience, I've not done much other than school. Should be interesting. The biggest downside is whether or not I can get off for the bear hunt in June. I'd hate to have to eat the plane ticket and down payment.

Where are you going bear hunting? Hopefully the person who decides whether you can take that time off is not an anti-hunter. Then your chances wouldn't be good.

Tyler, I think that is great. Not loosing the fast and fancy free lifestyle, but working in the field for what you are studying. Good luck with it.

Congrats 1PNTR, apply what you know, learn more about what you don't (hope that doesn't sound to infantile - for those that get offended by my writings).
Congrats, hope you still get to do the hunt though.

Moosie, Sure I'd like it. At least the bear isn't tied up, just waiting to be shot. In fact, I killed a bear over bait in Idaho, 4 years ago. A real nice bear too. Chocolate, and a pretty good size one, at least that's what they told me. I have to admit, it wasn't the most challenging hunt I've ever been on. In fact, it wasn't the least bit challenging. The most enjoyable part was riding the snowmobiles up over that pass, from the Montana side to the Idaho side. I don't remember the name of any of the roads, but we came out of Superior and drove as far as possible when the snow got too deep, and went the rest of the way to camp on snowmobiles pulling sleds. I think we were in the Lolo National Forest by the Clearwater River. The outfitter we hunted with was Mike Stockton, if I remember right. Have you heard of him? I only went because my dad wanted to get a bear and he didn't want to go by himself, so I went along and he paid for it. If I had the time and really wanted to go bear hunting I'd probably go to Montana in the Spring. I've heard there is some pretty good bear hunting that time of year, and you can get them by spotting and stalking. Here in Washington there's a lot of bears in the northeast, but we don't have a Spring season. It does sound like a fun trip. I hope all you guys are successful.
