I went back and looked at your pictures from start to finish. The expression in your eyes after taking the bear says it all.

Thanks for taking the time to write a great story for us. Damn pretty bear too!

AWESOME Story, Steve!!!!!

Steve, how old do you suppose that bear was?  

BTW, I'll get my lawyer to start drawing up the adaption papers so that after you adapt me I'll be able to hunt brownies up there.

Thanks to both you and Walt for the great adventure.
So don't wait until you retire to go hunting and fishing.  Don't even wait for your annual vacation.  Go at every opportunity.  Things that appear urgent at the moment may, in the long run, turn out to be far less so.

Well I'd say that adventure ranks right up there with a Saxton and Art hunt in the early part of the last century.

Great story Steve. I tromped all over the ABC islands carring only a 1962 Kodiak and some cedar arrows but that was more than 45 years ago. Sometimes I think my guardian angel was working overtime. Your pictures brought back many good memories. Thanks.
