<TITLE>14. Par 171-186</TITLE>L-171 About three mile away, there laid that caribou. And it was an odd one. Wasn't panels; it was big spikes. I said, "You remember? Looky here. There is that panoramic, just exactly. And there lays that animal, just the way." I said, "There's only one thing that hinders the vision, somebody with a green, check shirt." And there stood Eddie with a green, check shirt on. I said, "I thought you didn't have one."

L-172   He said, "My wife must have put that in the pack. When I fell in the water, yesterday, had to change shirts." He said, "I didn't know she had it in there, Brother Branham. I'm sorry I told you something wrong."
I said, "You just had to do that, son."

L-173 Oh, Bud begin to shout. He said, "You can stand right here and shoot him, three miles away. Can't you, Brother Branham?"
I said, "According to the vision, I was right on him."

L-174 He said, "Brother Branham, I tell you, how you going to get over there?"
I said, "I don't know, but I'm going to get over there."
So he said, "How you going?"
I said, "Going around this panoramic."

L-175 He said, "That's shale." And I... Said, "If you slide, you'll have about thousand of tons of snow on you, in about a second."

L-176 I said, "The Lord will take care of that. That's the way I went, in the vision, right on around."
He said, "Well, I'm going to follow you." Here he come.

L-177   And these boys said, "We'll stay here now until we see you get the caribou," and they said, "then we'll--we'll go on down, take the horses and go on in. We'll meet you down at the end of the draw, about, oh, about four or five miles down."
He said, "All right."

L-178 So we started around, Bud and I. In about a half-hour, we worked right around. And that caribou laying right there, looking right at us, and never seen us. He must have been asleep. And went up over a little cut, and come back, and come up within thirty yards of him. There he laid. This mammoth, big animal, rose up from there, and I got him.

L-179   And while we was setting there, taking the cape, and so forth, from it, like that, Bud said, "Did you say these horns was forty-two inches?"
I said, "That's exactly right."

L-180 He said, "Brother Branham, they must be a hundred and forty-two," great big head.
I said, "No. It's just exactly forty-two."
Said, "I got a tape measure down there."
I said, "Do you doubt it?"
He said, "No, sir."

L-181 He said, "But, wait a minute, didn't you tell me that you were going to get a big grizzly bear before you got back down? There'd be a silver-tip, before you got back where that boy was, the green shirt on?"
I said, "That's the truth."

L-182 He looked back down the hill. Well, there isn't a thing that high, nothing at all. Just moss, all you see, miles and miles, just rolling hills of moss. He said, "Where is he at, Brother Branham?"

L-183 I said, "He can provide one. He said so." I said, "Do you doubt that, Bud?"
He said, "No, sir."

L-184 Well, coming down the hill, we come like this. He would pack the rifle a while, and I'd pack the head, then vice versa. Just have to walk sideways, coming down, them big horns just raking into the moss. And we got within about a mile of it. We stopped and looked around. He said, "That old bear better be showing up, hadn't he?"
I said, "What you--what you bothered about?"
Said, "Nothing."

L-185   We went on till we hit a little glacier coming across. We set down there and got cooled off a little. Said, "Brother Branham, just think of it," said, "we haven't got over about, oh, less than a half a mile till we hit them boys, and somewhere between here and there you're going to kill a silver-tip."

L-186 I said, "That's right. That's right." He said... I said, "You're doubting that, Bud."
