I know that! I guess I should have put in another smiley so everyone would know I was joking. I wish I could get a big bruin like that and I wish I could write like that. I could visualize a big bear charging in on my camp and it gave me goose bumps.

Can't wait to read it, Ian.
416's pretty sweet! [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif[/img] Especially when you know how to shoot one! [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif[/img] Successful hunt, so awesome!

Cowboy and you other guys,
Thanks for the kind words, if I can write articles, about anybody can do it - just have to give it a try. Fact is I'm more of a trigger-puller than a writer, but you gotta do what you gotta do.

You get an opportunity to find out a few things about yourself when you get into a shooting situation with a big bear - this was not my first but I still replay those Alaska moments a few times every day. They are that good and I am very fortunate to have them in the old brain-tank.
