Excellent story. A well written tribute to your bear, the rifle and your lost loved one (son)? I am so sorry for your loss. Your boy was brave and made the ultimate sacrifice for this country but also for the people in the middle east.  If there is something going on after life, then your grandpa and son probably know that you took that bear in their honor. Thanks for sharing.

Thank you for the kind words.  Aron was my big brother.  He was an active contributor to this site up until his death in 2013.

In a word....


Beautiful
We must reject the idea that every time a law's broken, society is guilty rather than the lawbreaker. It is time to restore the American precept that each individual is accountable for his actions.

Wow, great story.  I received my grandfather’s hunting rifles along with his old school fly rod last winter from my uncle.  I’m hoping to put them to work soon.
