The Story of Kong- Video added page 11

[Ryman Cat]

No doubt Jerry this is also the most incredable story I have read myself and had a tear when I knew you got him. What an animal and story and ending. Could it have gotten any better. I surely bet this animal taught you and your family many things along the trail. You were really blessed as I see it for sure in many ways.

Congratulations and thank you for taking us along with you. There was so much suspence this animal died a noble way and you earned every minute and pound of him with incredable respect for Kong. Wow still in awe.

Jerry, what an animal!!! What a story!!!

I am so glad you had a chance to have those encounters with him before that shot. Appreciation of a critter that smart, as you well know, is most of the hunt. Well done my friend. Proud for you and for Luke. He is getting some man lessons from his old man    

Now let's get ready to kill some giant old Bears in the Mastogouche

Great story!!!

Like I said when you sent the email, that is an absolute beast!

Glad you won the war! As old and smart as he was, it could have just as easily went his way instead of yours!

Congrats again,

Bisch

[Jerry Russell]

Thanks everyone.  I am glad you enjoyed the story.  I was just glad to be a part of it all.  I have be asked countless times "what's next"?   Well,  a one week break and then on to helping my son take a brute of a boar we call Thor.  A BIG red beast that has given several of my hunters some serious hunting lessons over the last 1.5 years.  He is becoming a legend in his own right.  
With any luck he will take my son on a journey.

I just re read this entire story again, it is that good. I feel like this would be a great story to be published and put in magazines. It evokes so many feelings and demands respect for this awesome hog named Kong, and the tireless hunter who pursued him. It is stories like this that truly capture what it means to be a hunter, and how blessings come to us in so many ways.

When I hear people say that hunting is bad in some form or fashion, or that it's only done by people who enjoy killing, I wish I could force them to see what it's really about. Force them to read stories like this and show them that it is so much more in so many ways.

Thank you for taking us along with you, this story made my night.
