“This was not the last time she remembered those nightmarish times when he went to hunt the devil. It is an animal of evil, a demon in animal form, and a scavenger from hell. No one had ever walked out alive on the crutches of death. My father was the only one to be spared alive to this day. I don’t know; maybe it's luck or he is a skilled hunter. I believe in the latter. I have heard stories of my father killing wolverines, moose, wolves, Kamchatka, and polar bears. The skins and heads of these animals are hanging as trophies in my house. It was only once that my father took me hunting polar bears along with Barbos.”

“At -50 degrees and about 40 yards away, he took his first shot to bear the front leg with our traditional recurve bow to prevent it from charging Barbos. Watching it patiently, he delivered the second shot, which penetrated 5 inches into the chest cavity, killing the beast in 25 seconds. Awestruck, I stood still in shock. My father walked me to the bear and asked me to remove the arrows.”

“Without hesitation, I pulled out the arrow. Blood gushed out and strained my hand. The blood was damp, warm, and sticky. I looked into my hand, and I suddenly felt sad. Looking at my face, Papa said, ‘Nikolai, that's just blood. Some animals can be hunted for food and shelter, at least in this part of the world. It is a natural way to live and find balance”

“Remember, son, hunting is not for the fainthearted; a hunter never gets scared of blood or any animal, as he is an apex predator in the food web with heart and soul, loving the world and this taiga’. Around noon, he fixed me a quick lunch, and we waited for the bison hunt. For hours and hours, we waited for a lone bison when we spotted a herd of bison in Taiga.”

“I asked him, “Why can’t you hunt a bison in a herd? ” Dad replied, “It is pretty easy to hunt a lone bison and get ahead of him stalking it, finding its travel route, but in a herd, they group and face you, and it is dangerous if they come charging against you." At the last light, an abandoned bull was ruminating at the edge of the tributary. Papa took a 56-yard shot, which is pretty far. The arrow caught the bull's throat and slowed its pace, and the last shot was out of respect for the peaceful death to the heart.”
