Just found this site VIA Craig's list,(They cannot stop all the hunting activity). Great site, I hunted with OutBack outfitters in Oct. for Late bear/early deer and took a nice(any dead bear is nice) bear near 13th Lake at 5:05pm, got it dragged down the mt side and across the lake by dark. Been using dry rubs and cherry and apple wood to smoke the wonderful meat in my smoker. Going Bear hunting in NB the first week of May, cann't wait. DB
