Letter To The Editor: Grizzly Getting The Boot

Dear editor: Today I want to commend you on the story about the grizzly bear that got a mouthful of boot instead of the whole hunter. The lady hunter was incredibly compassionate to a fellow mother even if it intended to share her with its cub.

Dear Cowboy State Daily,

Usually, I send you messages as your unofficial 'armchair editor' when I find a typographical error. Doesn't happen too often, I am happy to say.

Today I want to commend you on the story about the grizzly bear that got a mouthful of boot instead of the whole hunter.

The story itself was well written and interesting. The lady hunter was incredibly compassionate to a fellow mother even if it intended to share her with its cub.

Mostly, I want to thank you very much for including the part about her faith in Jesus Christ.

As a fellow saved believer, I am certain He heard her and escorted her out without further incident. Common knowledge has it, that grizzlies are notorious for return visits.

A hat tip to the aggregate website Citizen Free Press that spends a fair amount of time at your web publication. They feature your stories often. It is where I ran into this one.

You are well loved by untold numbers. Thank you and here is hoping for your continued success.

Sincerely,

Denise Mason
