Grizzly Hunt? Should I?

[kumathebear]

So, my TBH son is back from his Alaska Vacation. Some may remember he got engaged and their wedding will be next summer in Alaska. This is a special area on the border of the Denali..may have spelled it wrong.

He surprises me today with a phone call and here it is:
*Dad, we have a chance to put in for a "draw tag" to hunt Grizzly during the time we are at the wedding...you in?
*He's bow hunting for the Bear!
*My bow days are long gone so rifle for me.

I'm not a coward, faced potential death several times in past careers...but this is what I can see if I miss..lol: (bad hip and bad knee..I'm toast unless a very good backup,) and I'm only 62 but would like to be around for a while longer!

NEVER hunted a 4 legged critter that could EAT me...2 legged ones just wanted to stab, shoot or beat me to death! What would you do?

Not miss on the first shot! I would go and make the hunt.

Kuma,

If you have the chance to do it and you don't, I will kick your ***

[El Forajido]

Something I would love to do. Do that!!

Carpe Diem!

Done the rifle my next will be a bow hunt for sure.. Go for it

[kumathebear]

Man oh Man!

LOL, just had a discussion with Susan about the whole deal. Of course, she said "whatever you want to do babe?" Forgot to mention I don't own a caliber anymore that I could use for "dangerous game." My son told me the guide would have one I could use...?

Here's where the wedding will be and our home base for the hunt I posted this week from a pic he sent me:

Response to jefandaward...yep, don't want to miss out...just got "cautious" in my older years.....Carpe Diem...ah, memories!

Looks like you got your answer Kuma. I will also kick your arse if you don't take that trip OF A LIFETIME. Go for it! You got a year to plan everything out and get your butt in shape. Do it man. For the sake of all things sacred, do it.


That way when you're old and sitting on the porch at the "senior facility", sipping on some prune juice and gin, you can tell the story of when you killed the giant grizzly bear.
