Pain is temporary, achieving the goal is worth it.

I didn't say it would be easy, I said it would be worth it.

In girth!! :chuckle:  But that's about it.  When you see a real live grizzly it's a lot easier than you think.  Though there are the occasional exceptions at a distance.

Wow! Bear of a lifetime. I agree with Radsav, the kid is ruined, every bear he see's from here on out will look like dinks.

As long as we have the habitat, we can argue forever about who gets to kill what and when.  No habitat = no game.

Thank you all.  It was a great time with grandson and this bear was a special bonus.

I try to get a special hunt or fishing trip with each grandchild about that age, plus as much time camping, hunting and fishing as we can manage.  I was the non-hunting driver and camp cook for several days of archery elk hunting with Jon and his brother last Fall. 

Jonathan's Dad got a bear when he was the same age.  He hiked out from our house with his younger brother into the nearby hills and killed a pretty good bear.  I was repairing our pump when they returned and didn't look closely at their hands. After a couple of minutes I said that I had to go to town to get a part.  Jon's Dad then said, "Could we go get my bear first?"

"You got a bear???!!!"  Still a fun memory.
