Jeff Haydukewich was hunting elk by bow and arrow when he encountered bear with 3 cubs
Two thoughts ran through Jeff Haydukewich’s mind Monday evening as he seized one of his arrows and repeatedly stabbed a protective mother bear that had him cornered in a spruce tree.
The first was of his own children; the second, survival.
“This bitch isn’t going to take me right now,” Haydukewich remembers thinking. “Not like this.”
