Bears can attack people- although fewer people have been killed by bears than in all WWI and WWII combined.

I'm humbled to think this but ... most people think they are ready when they go out for something of this magnitude and most aren't.  Truthfully, I'm not sure I would be mentally prepared for this hunt, especially with such a loving family waiting at home.  I can't imagine how it was to be there, it was frightening enough sitting at my desk!  Congratulations is too weak of a word. In fact words fail me.  To accomplish this goal/dream and in all that chaos and mayhem perform as you had trained (and training in Texas ain't exactly the same) is the mark of profound courage.  And to think, you still had the presence of mind to not want the guide to shoot. Wow.  You lived a real life dream and survived to write about it, and did so in a manner that was honorable.  There will never be a need to express any regret or add any embellishment.  You can share my camp any day - and I'll make the hot chocolate.
Do or do not ... there is no "try"

:thumbsup:   Thanks for posting your adventure! Congrats on the wonderful bear and muskox. Hunting that bear must have been an adrenalin rush that would be very hard to duplicate. Heck I got an adernalin bump just reading your story.    :eek:

Thanks for the kind words! This is why I read this forum, you guys are so generous. It is a real bonus to me to read what a thrill you got living the hunt thru my story. The time in this hotel waiting to get back home has been as long as the hunt!
