A Grizzly Tore My Face Off – Lee and Martha Brooke

While hunting in Wyoming in 2018, Lee Brooke faced all hunters worst nightmare. He came face to face with a Grizzly bear while returning to claim his elk he'd shot the evening before. Unfortunately for Lee, during the night a sow grizzly bear had claimed his elk. Before he could react, the bear was on top of him, clawing, biting, and tossing him about.

"I remember looking down and seeing my mustache and my nose laying on the ground," Lee tells us in his harrowing recount of the nightmare. After spending 7 hours on the mountain, rescue finally arrived. The details and recovery are all part of this show. You will not want to miss one second as Lee recounts that fateful day.

His wife Martha also joins us as she shares her story of getting the news, the months in the hospital, dozens of surgeries and more.

Through all of this Lee and Martha clung to their faith to help them through this ordeal.
