You have captured this man's voice utterly, Jim. His vocabulary, his idioms, his syntax. I am impressed - impressed that you can do this language shift and impressed that you know about the ins and outs of bear hunting. Your ending is exactly as it should be - both in terms of story arc and, in my opinion, in philosophy. Excellent.

Excellent story, Jim! I agree with Sharron above: you absolutely nailed this character’s voice.
I hate baiting entirely. Track and hunt using your brain, not bait.

That was great, Jim, and my thoughts on baiting the bears are the same!
