+1 on the Tylenol PM, only when camping. I have a hard time sleeping in the back country as every noise at night I'm sure is a bear. Most of the guys I've taken with me over the years never go back for this reason. They just can't take the nights and the lack of sleep really takes the fun out...
I was able to buy a 63-2 right at 8:00am from home this morning, so there were some available. Was the type 2 new this year for unit 63? Is that why there were actually some left over for a decent public land unit?
I had to send out some props to the taxidermist I started using, Zane Osborn out of Manti. I'm impressed with his work, especially for the price($400). Zane did the buck on the right. I paid a lot more for my other mounts which I think are inferior.
I killed a nice black bear last year & looked at a lot of different taxidermist's full body bears before settling on Travis Roundy in Glendale UT. In my opinion, his bears were as good as the any & at a more reasonable price. I don't have it back yet but I can hardly wait. If I get it soon...
Thanks Cabinfever - I talked to Travis & he emailed me some pictures. His quality appears outstanding. Much better than some higher priced guys whose work I've looked at, so I think we're going to have him do the bears.
