Taos,

Thank you for the very kind offer. I'm really torn about this hunt. A lot of the fun for me is choosing the rifle, developing the load and practicing. Also, the memories afterwards - when I get out my 470 I always think of my one Cape Buff hunt for example. But, I've always wanted a bear hunt so I'll just think about it and probably go with the outfitters rifle in New Brunswick.

Thanks again,

mike
