It took a few months to do the detective work, identify, track down Ken Ledeau, and obtain an interview.

It was worth it. Great story.

A hiker was walking through the woods and heard somethng behind him. He looked around and saw a bear getting ready to pounce. The hiker prayed, “Lord, please let this be a Christian bear.”

The man turned around and saw the bear praying, “Father, for this food we’re about to receive, we’re grateful.”

I assume this is what he said to that bear.

I owned that same S&W until just a few days ago. HSM ammo is just as available as every other manufacturer out there. Just out curiosity, in case I get another one soon, has anyone bought direct from HSM? I noticed on the HSM website that their office is closed to the public but they are still producing and offer curbside delivery. Anyone ever bought directly from HSM?

If the guy had worn bells around his neck the bear would have avoided him. Riiight.

“He used to believe there should be more bears. Now he thinks the difficulties they present to people who are living where the bear population is increasing should be considered”.

It took him a bear attack to figure out what everyone else prob knew without a bear attack.

Great story. Lots of lessons here.

Then there is this...”Three cubs were later found and rescued by a rancher.”

The kind-hearted rancher is making sure the next generation is thriving and will be available to eat people. I’d wager he voted for Biden.

“Ken was 59 years old when the bear attacked him.”

How old was he when the attack was over?

**Uncle Mike’s nylon belt holster with a thumb break retainer.**

This is an important piece of info.

Without it, the whole report would have been worthless.
