Great story and pics! Thank you for taking the time to share with us. I'll be rereading this thread tonight with my daughter. She's my quiver caddy right now, and will love hearing your story.

Congrats to you Steve and all the hard work that goes into every hunt if prepared right. Just like my Alaska trip, i was close but not close enough, a taste of the ice cream if you will. Thank you for the pics and story you always provide.

Great thread SteveO, thanks for taking us along.

Hunting was hazardous, but at least it guaranteed the freedom of the individual.
There is no doubt that the onset of farming saw the end of leasure for the majority of people, who were destined to toil in the fields.

Great story, photos, bear but more important putting your thoughts of your family in front of everything. As dad would say, good job.
Couple of things. Did the bear bother your cameras? I had to build a cage for mine.
I hunted elk out of Fairplay, Co years ago.

Jon, thanks to a great PBS friend, I had bear safes for my camera. They would have been destroyed. I have a lot of close up photos!

Thanks I have been following this thread avidly since you started it.
I also really appreciate your attitude to the hunt, in that the kill is not all there is to making a hunt great.
Like you at the end of a successful hunt I have that same joy, sadness, relief thing happening.
Thanks for taking us along for the ride.
