I have to say it was quite a rush being that close to a bear and only having a stick for protection.
I had seen some bear sign on this overgrown logging road as it had lots of blackberries on it so I set up one evening in a decent shooting lane to wait. I think I was half asleep when this bear just stepped around a corner in the road. I could see it wasn't the biggest bear in the world but still it didn't look that small either. Especially when it was only 19 yards away. One well placed Muzzy and the bear died within sight 30 yards away. I was way happy about being able to see it die as I've had to go into some thick stuff on a couple I've shot.

MS,
I do have a very understanding wife! We started dating in high school and have been married now for 17 years. We raise, train and race quarter horses (star B is our brand), so our family fun time is me travailing along to supporting her and our daughter almost every weekend while they chase barrels. It does keep me/us very busy. I understand her passion and she understands mine.
