DAMN!...NOW WERE HUNTIN!...  

im giddy with anticipation.....one question:   how do you move around quietly with those big brass ba@& of yours!!!!

Dang brother, I'm livin this along with you. Thanks for sharing because I will never get the opportunity.

Reading this as i'm nursing a headache, but thinking of you alone for eight days in Grizzly country is not helping a stress induced headache!

Ahhhh I was drooling reading this. Ready for an update! 

Timo,  I could see his big "hunchback" sticking up above the willows in the video.  Thanks for taking us along-I can only imagine what hunting grizzlies would be like...

South MS - I feel your pain with those headaches- hang in there.

Coilspring, thanks for the kind regards!  Say a prayer for me my Brothers/Sisters   Thinking of Tim alone with Grizzlies, while i'm in the midst of a Hurricane, with two wild grandchildren is not aiding in recovery of the headache!

Keep the story and pic's coming...

He ever so slowly dug & fed his way toward the far end of the willow bar.
.
I packed up, and headed upwind a bit to cross where there were several channels, making the water shallow enough to just barely go over my knee high boots.
.
Crossed slowly and quietly.  Got up on the gravel and starting looking-looking for the bear.
.
Ended up stepping up onto the willow bar from the gravel, just a foot or 2 of elevation.
.
Was swiveling my head from say 9 o'clock to 1 o'clock, nothing.  Then I turned to about 4 o'clock and boom there he was, his butt sticking out of the willows maybe 60 yards away.
.

I spied a couple dry channels that wound their way thru the willows, that would help me get close quietly.
.
Dropped down into one, lost sight of the bear, but angled that way, slow & quiet.
.
Came around a corner and there he was at about 20 yards. He looked like a Jeep Wrangler (2 door !) at that distance and a little above me.
.
Could of shot, but the window in the brush was tight, very steep quartering away, and I wanted to get closer.
.

Real slow now I went further down the dry channel.
.
The brush was thinning between me and him.  In fact I now realized there was another dry (muddy) channel between us, and not much else.
.
Suddenly I was out of cover and the bear was nearly broadside and very very close.
.
I quickly drew my bow and shot.
.
.
And all hell broke loose at 13 yards.
.

"And all hell broke loose at 13 yards"

I don't know if I'd be brave enough to do this by myself. Incredible story!

Holy Cow! My chest is thumpin....It take a pair to make this sneak!!
I can't imagine......

That's it I quit! I can't take it! I told myself just wait a few days and let him finish the story then read it but of course I couldn't! Hoky smokes! I'm on the edge of my seat like I'm there myself! Love it! Your a madman!

This is amazing. And you're insane.
