Lots of friends here. Thank you all sincerely. Every comment is appreciated.

I give a lot of credit to PBS and those who went before me. Those men and women are directly responsible for many of the adventures I enjoy now.

Best thread in a long time.  Just amazing.  Your picture with the bull is a classic.  Very well done.  I love it.  Your pic of the leaning pine tree reminds me of Fred's hunts.  Credit your Caribow for coming thru again.  Amazing bow in the hands of an amazing hunter.

Bears can attack people- although fewer people have been killed by bears than in all WWI and WWII combined.

Kevin, Very nice job. That last black and white photo and the text that went with it, struck a nerve with me. I have hunted solo in the wilderness for decades, but connected with this awsome story. I can smell the strong scent of that rutting bull, and taste the tenderloins. Thanks, from a fellow PBSer. Mike

All the way around...simply superb.  I really admire you folks who do these solo hunts in such wilderness.  Truly something that we should all experience yet many won't or can't.  Thank you so much for taking the time in telling such a grand story.
