T Inman, some very valid points. However, cold weather may not elimate the bears. We had a late season elk hunt here in Wyoming in mid to late December, the grizzlies (even some blacks) were still quite active. Certainly, the cold weather has it’s unique set of pluses....but bear elimination, isn’t guaranteed! memtb

My comments were generalized.

For years I accepted this as fact.....but over the last 10 or 12 years, found that accepted fact” and reality, are often quite different!  memtb

Ooops, forgot hiaring, that guy has some good shots too. Now that my 11 year old son is starting to put the smack down on big deer, I am relegated to guide and cameraman...I’ll be living vicariously thru him For the next few years...told me he wants at least a 5 point bull this year - no pressure 🤔

For the guys with young daughters and granddaughters....Keep them shooting and fishing!
Nothing will keep the azztarded soft sided boys away from a young lady better then a girl who can talk MOA, come up charts, seating depth, lures and how to throw a casting reel accurately. The right boys will follow her home instead....😎
