You got to dance with a grizzly in some of god’s most beautiful country. Sounds like a successful adventure to me.  :thumbsup:

Excellent recount! What an adventure Sir! :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

Like I told my bro when I missed a big 10 pt whitetail, guess I had all the fun and none of the work!
Stay sharp, Kenny.

Thought I'd add a video of the going home take-off and a very small part of the return flight.

Thank you, great story and pictures.  Maybe next time you'll get a bear.  Absolutely amazing country with more bears than people. :clapper:

GreaT adventure! I haven’t flown a plane in few years but always wanted to fly a Cub in Alaska, really enjoyed the Bush flight footage. Also bowhunted moose there in 1987 and saw over a dozen Grizzlies up close ( not at 13/2 yards but close enough) swore I wouldn’t do that again with out a big bore rifle- my hats off to you sir. Thanks for taking us along.

Sorry you missed with your arrow, glad you missed with the pistol.  We might not have heard the story.  Good storytelling.
