Kevin that was by far one of the best stories I've read in a long while. I'm so glad you decided to take us along on the hunt (vicariously).
Bowhunting is a passion, not an obsession. Its just hard for my wife to tell the difference sometimes.

Kevin would you mind detailing, (maybe in a separate thread?) the gear you and equipment you used. It would be really helpful to get first hand experience of brands and systems that have worked for you out in the bush.

Congratulations that was an epic 13 days! Thanks for sharing your adventure with us!

Wow, Kevin! You may say that you're not a writer, but your story says otherwise.  That was a truly impressive adventure, and you captured it as well as anyone could.  Great photos, too.  Congratulations and thank you.

Excellent story and pics Kev.  Very excellent execution of your hunt.  Impressed with how clean that hind quarter looks after it came off.  Thanks for sharing!
