I could have contributed one more to last years tally if I knew it was any weapon. Now I know.

Well Nick, since we're starting out with pictures in white...... Back in 2006, on my first polar bear hunt, I had ZERO travel problems, spent 16 days on the ice, but never saw a legal bear. (Still the greatest adventure I've ever been on.) Fast forward 18 years to my second hunt, and it was exactly the opposite. Took me 9 days just to get where I was hunting...I hunted a total of 8 hours...and then it took me 10 days to get home. But I finally got a bear. Counted 6 flight cancellations along the way. If someone ever asks me what a "typical" polar bear hunt is like, I will respond that I'm probably not the best person to ask...

Ronnie Green from Arkansas. His buddy saw a dozen or so bears and zero bugs so it was a good first day in Saskatchewan.
