9.3,

Yes I've been watching the weather and it seems rather warm. 2 years ago it did nothing but snow. It doesn't matter to me...it is what is is. Rest assured that I WILL hit it hard everyday.

I'm using an Eberlestock backpack that allows the rifle to be "slung" in the pack.

I will post results of the hunt here for all to view. Like I said, let's hope the wolves haven't compromised my time and effort.

Enjoy the bear steaks and trout!

Armbar.
