Bear Attack There can be no death any more horrifying than one of a bear attack. Even the mere thought of a bear mauling a person sends shivers to the most seasoned and experienced outdoorsman. It addresses a pronounced deep and primal fear within all humans, the fear of being killed by a wild animal. Yet as terrifying as that thought is, that is exactly what happened to Ken Cates in Soldotna, Alaska on a seemingly innocent spring afternoon on Tuesday, May 25th, 1999. At exactly 12:00 noon he told his wife of 35 years that he was going to go for a hike and would be back around four o'clock. He would never return.

Florida Axis Buck Hunt I went on an Axis Buck hunt on the Razor Ranch here in Florida. This ranch has 15,000 acres. We started out early morning. But winds kept shifting on us and we got busted by the Axis deer. Finally we saw a huge buck around 2 pm. After we stalked with in shooting range, I was ready for my shot.
