Good read!

That's freaking awesome. Nice work Phil. You are a badass.

Thanks for the link!

Thanks for the link, great bits!

Amen! That's what I love about this place! I'll likely never even speak to these writers, hunters, outdoorsmen…Loonies- let alone meet or hunt with them, but I feel like I know them as we interact on these forums. Thanks for being here!

I've referred four friends to Phil and all came away with nice bears and a great experience......none were the gal in yellow.

Thnx gun loony. Enjoyed that. It's a treat and honor to talk with Mr S. here and others too.

Top of the line. So good to see F&S continue to deliver good outdoor writing.

Wonderful read about Phil and the others. God I would like to sit around and listen to his stories for a month.

Thanks GunLoony88, good read.

Thanks for the article! Phil Shoemaker and John Barsness both have answered questions personally on my behalf. What's impressive is the time and opinions they offer to all of us here at the campfire despite a heavy and demanding schedule/lifestyle! Top notch!

Outstanding that Phil and others of his caliber come here,

John and I are simply examples of the damage excess exposure to hunting and guns at an early age can cause.
And support groups like this don't seem to be helping !

Well we are TRYING ! grin

Phil, you need to write a book.

What's the most risky part of your job, Phil? The flying?

I guess it would depend on the day - but I have never had an airplane intentionally try to kill me !

Phil, you need to buy another rifle to maintain your Looney status. BTW, I HAVE had an aircraft intentionally try to kill me!

i enjoyed this read.

my favorite part was Phil's comment about the "surprise encounter", where he say's;

"But I doubt I could have shot that one in time if things had gone bad."

this is most often the reality in close quarter surprise encounters, and some folks just don't realize this--figuring they'll always have time to react.

his pic reminds me of my long-time friend Bob S--a hunter and trapper extraordinaire...
