[QUOTE="ommedia, post: 161935, member: 6997"] [b]If at first you don't succeed....try try again![/b] I was there on this hunt with Ian. In our conversations to and from the field we realized the world is small and that we were from the same home town and same High School, years apart. I tried to give him fair warning on the size of bears that Tim locates, the distance of possible shots, and the accuracy of the "nuclear weapon" that Tim has his clients use in long range requirements. Not to mention that Tim gets excited like a little puppy when the heat is on :) I must say that the first bear that he missed rattled all of us. It was a Toad. In all the hunts I've assisted Tim on, it was the largest bear I had ever put optics on. And if you look at the pics on Tim's website, you'll see that his clients take great bears. Unfortunately, or fortunately, the two shots at the first bear were a clean miss. I returned home after that morning hunt, not getting the chance to watch him seek redemption. In the back of my mind I was worried that Ian, let alone any hunter, might dwell on it and foul another opportunity because of it. I had only met him the day before, so you never know whether a client has "drive" or not. To his total credit, and Tim's determination to get him "back on the horse", they quickly got back in the saddle and found some more bear and applied patience in their attempt at the last bear. Nice Bear, Nice Shot Ian! [/QUOTE]
