Thank you all for the replies!!!!!!!!!

This hunt, the bear, everything that happened means so much to me.
I cannot tell the future, but at this point, it was a once in a lifetime chance for me to go. No telling how long it will be before I get another opportunity such as that.

Ontario is breathtaking. The landscape alone left me speechless. I imagine heaven would be similar!!

The bear- A dream realized after 30 years of wondering what it would be like to have a bruin only 10 yards away. Their eyes look right through you!
The black bear is a beautiful creature. I have the utmost respect for all the animals I harvest but the black bear will hold it's own special place.

LOL!!! He is the quiet type, very reserved. Can have a stern face but definitely has a huge heart.

I know he was doing the Charlie Brown shuffle on the inside, bwahahaha!!
