Steve, happy Monday. I heard you're a little sore.

0:04.0

Yeah, yeah. Little sore got out into the fun bear hunt with my buddy Tyler Bosch.

0:08.7

Just a literally quick 24 hour got out

0:11.8

met him Friday at noon and started hiking at about 12.30 and then got out at one o'clock

0:17.4

then on Saturday afternoon with fortunately a big old black bear in the pack.
