Inspiring story on many levels.
What a place! And Russell Thornberry in camp to boot.
What a trip and thanks for sharing.

Great story and very well written.  Thanks for sharing the story and your faith.  Eric.

Thanks again for all the kind words. I probably shouldn't dwell on it as much as I do but it's still a hunt and experience I think about every day. I am so thankful/blessed.

Hi Chuck,

Great pictures!

Just saw this thread. Haven't been online much... busy with our building project.
I thought that I would take a break from the stress of it all and BAM! There you were!!!! LOL!

Really enjoyable post. Congratulations again!

Been wanting to get in touch... waaay behind in my correspondence.

Ken, I hope you've got it all framed in and you're working inside up there!    :p  

Just thinking about you the other day buddy. Thanks for the kind words. You, as much as anyone else knew what the greater story was with this bear and that's something I appreciate knowing. Hope all is well with you and your family. Best wishes for a Merry Christmas and a Blessed New Year!

awesome man, congrats on a fine animal and hunt

Chuck, that was a great story.  Thanks for sharing.

This is my first attempt at posting video so I hope it pans out. It was shot right after the shot and it's unedited and a little rough but I think you'll get a feel for the emotion involved. That's Russ Thornberry who is videoing and commenting. It's about 5 minutes long so it might take a while to load???

Great video...love the honest, humble emotion!
