Before I got there it was confirmed that the bear was dead, so I was comfortable bringing one of the boys. Emmett was a big help running the light and giving dragging and lifting instructions.

On the other hand, I have skinned and quartered dozens and hauled them out on my back. A few more, (quite a few more, actually), have been heaved into various boats. Wouldn't think of dragging a bear very far, at all. Just doing what I want now.

I have little doubt the boy will have many future exploits to rival Jesse Henry and my own (now grown) Clayton Thomas. What"s good for me may not be good for the weak minded.

America only has one issue, we have a Responsibility crisis and everything else stems from it.

He knew we were going into a cedar swamp, and didn't want to flood his boots, or ruin his church shoes. Ended up staying dry after all.
