      @SMack I hunt moose and deer, mostly. I have hunted black bear, caribou and pronghorn antelope. Every year I shoot about a dozen or so grouse. I have taken the meat from each and every one. I have also had mounts made. The pronghorn in particular has magnificent horns. But that's not why I shot it. The horns were simply a bonus. Before taking the shot, all I knew was that it was a mature male.
      I suppose I could always leave the entire head to rot but if the hunt was particularly memorable for any one of a number of reasons, I will cape out the head and take the antlers/horns. None of my mounted specimens is anywhere near a record book trophy. Except for the pronghorn, they are quite average. Yet they represent something to me that I want to keep. Every time I look at them, memories come back. Usually, the memory has nothing to do with the actually shooting. It might just be sitting around the campfire, telling partially true stories. It might be eating fried potato and venison back at base camp when you are so hungry you were about to eat your boots. "Grub in the guts."
      As one hunting buddy's brother said during a moose hunt when sitting around the campfire drinking a wee dram, "Millionaires can't buy what we have right here." You either get it or you don't.

I was in the military and served 30 years. John and Billy displayed what we in the military understand. Both were there for each other. You do it not just because it’s your job, but you do it because of the people you serve with. John said right after they put the bear down there aren’t many people he would do that with. Showed he respected and trusted Billy.

However, his comment that nobody would miss him ( I do realize what he was actually meaning because I have a daughter myself) really hit kind of hard. Please tell John his bravery and solidarity with you is commendable and inspiring. But most of all, he would absolutely be missed by more people than he’ll ever know. I believe he was put here intentionally by God to be a guardian for many daddy’s, uncles, brothers, sisters and moms that have loved ones back home praying for them to return safely. Please tell John that.

    Billy what a great hunt with John. I was sitting on the edge of my chair during the brush entry.
    I was praying for you and John as you stalked that Wounded Grizzly through the underbrush.
    You two are amazing guides.
    What a amazing stalk.
    Thanks to both of you for this video.
    Please stay safe out there on your other hunts for years to come.🙏🙏🙏

    John story is a fantastic thing to hear, your dad is watching and he is proud of you and what you’ve made of yourself. Thanks MDMM, for another great adventure in gods country. After watching the video, it’s a good story all around. I’m glad nobody was hurt or chewed up on this one. I’ve seen how dangerous a black bear can be, can only imagine one of these big brown boys. What a great hunt for father and daughter to remember their whole life. Wishing you and yours the best from me and mine. God bless 👍🇺🇸🎥🥇🥇🥇🙏🏻

    1) big congrats to Maddie on her moose and grizzly. Very impressive. 2) that final stalk you and John did, WOW. Cojones and nerves of steel. That’s what experience does for you. Slow and steady wins the race. And luckily, nothing bad happened to either of you. Thank the Lord for that!! 3) I’ve heard other guides touch on this subject as well, and after hearing you two say it, I must ask…what does bear smell like that makes it so different from everything else?

      I'll try to give you an idea but I know it wont answer your question completely. A bear that eats a lot of meat in general smells stronger than a bear that eats berries and grass or has a mix of both in its diet. A strong smelling animal is often a carnivore but not always. Deer and horses can have a distinct smell. I shot a very good size black bear years ago that smelled less than my dog when my dog was clean. I was very surprised. The smell comes from the body and breath. The strong smell is like a musk odor but different. It's a strong animal smell that you can pick in a zoo. In French the expression is "fauve" a lion smells fauve, so do many wild animals. It implies a strong, distinct tawny smell.

      I will try and give you an idea of the odor than can come from an animal? I've participated and been around The kill be it bear, antelope, deer or elk and never really took notice of an odor except it smells like an animal. When you get in the vicinity of say an elk it will very often smell like a barnyard, antelope if they've been running will have a very strong sagee smell it greatly depends upon what the animal has been eating, however your question brings to mind a particular hunt about 50 years ago. My husband killed a bear, I was just there but never really touched the bear. On the way home we stopped at the Local Tavern, I went in and bought a six pack of beer. Standing there in line I noticed I ended up being the only one by the cash register even the people in front of me had moved 😲, I didn't understand what was happening until I ran into a friend outside and he commented on my odor, LOL. I guess that was a particularly rank bear only I didn't realize it but everybody else did🤣

    Billy my wife and I live in Maine in the central north part. We set and watch your videos and love them all but this one with John was 1 of my favorites mainly because of the roll that John played and the man that he is he is definitely one of a kind and a true friend and a great Guide. Look forward to watching many more god bless you all .

    An unbelievably exciting record of an extremely dangerous recovery. As a frequent viewer of your video's this has to take the top suspenseful video spot
    Glad everyone came out uninjured
    Thanks for all you do.
