'''Bud Southwick''' was a hunting guide in Northern British Columbia who was introduced to [[William Branham]] through a mutual friend, Ed Byskal.  What could have been a chance meeting ended up being predestined: Bud Southwick, his wife Lila and his son Blaine, found themselves in the center of a vision, fulfilling prophecy.
 
The video testimonies are excerpts from "I Am a Witness".  Copies of this video are available from [http://www.bibleway.org Cloverdale Bibleway].  


=The Vision of the Caribou and Grizzly Bear=
Early one morning, William Branham said that he saw a vision of him shooting a deer-like animal with 42 inch antlers, and then a silver-tip grizzly.  In the vision, there was a wall of shale he had to go around, a man with a green checkered shirt, and young hands holding a tape-measure to the horns.

Blaine Southwick, who was 18 at the time, ended up holding the tape measure at the bottom of the caribou hornsBud Southwick unrolled the tape measure, and as the tape touched the end of the horn, said "its 42 inches.
Early one morning, William Branham saw a vision of him shooting a deer-like animal with 42 inch antlers, and then a silver-tip grizzlyIn the vision, there was a wall of shale he had to go around, a man with a green checkered shirt, and young hands holding a tape-measure to the horns.


As it turns out, Ed Byskal had told his wife to throw out his green checkered shirt before the hunting trip (unaware of the prophecy), but she packed the shirt anywaysBlaine Southwick, who was 18 at the time, ended up holding the tape measure at the bottom of the caribou horns.  Bud Southwick unrolled the tape measure, and as the tape touched the end of the horn, said "its 42 inches."  Within seconds, three friends fulfilled a prophecy that each of them had completely forgot about. 
As part of the vision, William Branham also shot a silver-tip Grizzly bearThey soon spotted a silver-tip two miles away, and before dark William Branham shot the bear.  


As part of the prophecy, William Branham also shot a silver-tip Grizzly bear.  Although Bud had never seen a silver-tip grizzley in the area, he now knew better than to doubt the prophecy.  They soon spotted a silver-tip two miles away, and before dark William Branham shot the bear and completed the prophecy.   
These prophecies were not recorded on the tapes prior to the event, and cannot be independently verified.
