What an awesome hunt... two trophy bears on one hunt is quite the feat... and I'm sure the success is all the sweeter that you pushed thru the pain.
Sounds like your guide service was top notch as well.
Memories of a lifetime for sure !
Stumbled across this video on Instagram and YouTube.
Hunter stayed calm and got it done with his bow. .. always good to have that backup rifle shooter ready just in case.
Congratulations on a successful goat hunt.
Awesome billy and way to persevere thru the foul weather.
What were you using for a tent/ shelter and how did it perform?
What about hiking poles?
Did you decide to take the entire hide out or just the cape for a shoulder mount?
Resident license fees have definitely gone up in Alaska since then... but I'm still amazed and thankful for the multiple-species opportunities included with that base resident license or simply via the free registration hunts.
Wonderful hunt write up! Great that she chose to stay and hunt and persevered thru that many days of hunting and the inevitable emotional roller coaster after missing an animal.
