One thing Brent really wanted to do before we leave Alaska, is get a brown bear. He and TJ took the boat up river hunting and wouldn't you know.... 
Brent was floating down the river, the bear was headed away up over the hill and Brent shot it from behind. 
Brent told TJ to stay in the boat while he tracked the bear that had run off into the trees. About 5 minutes later Brent turns around and sees TJ standing in the trees looking lost... "What are you doing!!?" Brent asked, "I thought you I heard you call me." TJ says... (Mom says YIKES! I may never let TJ go bear hunting again!)
Luckily Brent found the bear before the bear found TJ and they ended up having a pretty good camping trip together. 
Brent called me and told me to bring the 4-wheeler and pick them up. When I got there he said, "Well I got a beaver!".....
Then he asked me to grab the bag under the tarp.... I picked up the tarp and see a bear looking at me.... I screamed. ha ha ha he's so funny!
Well actually it was pretty funny once I recovered from my heart failure. I thought this picture was funny too. The Flying Wild Alaska crew was still renting our truck so we took the bear and camping gear home via 4-wheeler. 
You just wouldn't see this driving down the street in Vernal.... but that's Unalakleet for you.
