Story: Stan Koich broke his back in an automobile accident over half of his life ago. His spine had been broken, but his attitude and spirit were only strengthened by the experience. Stan continues to hunt, fish, play team sports, raise a family, while making a good living for himself and his loved ones. One thing he had not done and really wanted to do was to hunt black bear with his bow in Canada. It is a quest that many would like to accomplish, but few motivate themselves enough to turn the dream into a reality. With Stan’s added challenges, he patiently bided his time, waiting for the right set of circumstances to make his vision an obtainable objective.
