Sons are a heritage from the LORD, children a reward from him. Like arrows in the hands of a warrior are sons born in one's youth. Blessed is the man whose quiver is full of them. They will not be put to shame when they contend with their enemies in the gate. - Psalm 127:3-5

And who said that steel shot is not effective. "On a side note, we got one duck (a gadwall)" :chuckle:
Great story  :tup:

Thats actually not that uncommon to have brown bears patrolling the duck flats in AK. Theres lots of food for them to eat out there and they are not easy to see so they can get on you quickly. We've had them b bopping around us but never had anythign like that happen. We've almost had to shoot above their heads a couple times but although this story is pretty amazing its not all that suprising.

The most memorable duck day I ever had was in the Palmer Hay Flats with my dog, Shuksan, watching the Northern Lights.

Either that bear was very weak, or our honkers here on Whidbey Island are tough.  #4 steel shot has never worked great on a big goose :chuckle: :chuckle:

I saw this a week or two ago, I don't think I would like to be in there shoes.  I remember talking to a guy where a skunk rolled into there blind and the dog got a hold of it.  That would be another one of those experience I wouldn't like to try.
