Probably one of the best stories ever told here. Great job Kevin. Guys, Kevin and Steve O both made a very good point about the P.B.S. I'm only an associate member but I annually turn down hunts that I otherwise would never have dreamed of. Someday I will make more of them. That certainly isn't the best reason to consider joining the P.B.S. but it is a nice perk. P.B.S. Is comprised of some of the finest bowhunters on the plannet and these guys have done it all so there is a wealth of knowledge to be gained.

A truly inspiring read, only enhanced by the amazing photos.
Taking photos on a big trip like that in all types of weather and conditions can sometimes be a pain, but our dreams and your memories have benifited greatly because of your effort .
Thank you .

Regards
Mark

Excellent job with your hunt preparations, the actual hunt and the story telling with great photos. You sure represent traditional bow hunters and the PBS well. Did you book the pilot for a return in 2017?

Lord willing I will be back there in 49 weeks. I'm missing it already.

And again...sincere thanks to you for the nice comments and for reading this. I hope some of you are motivated by this story and kickstart your own Alaska dream-come-true.

My planning started after the PBS banquet in March of this year. A tremendous amount of logistics and research has to be done for the first timer. My first trip is planned with a fellow PBS member and more planning starts in October after their bow season.

I sat down and had a discussion with my boss just this week, she was complaining about Jeff and I planning three hunting trips and being out of the Department at the same time. I told her that I would not be elk hunting with Jeff next year but I would be going to Alaska. Problem solved.

Kevin, it is people like you that truly inspire us to fulfill lifetime dreams as a Bowhunter.

Great adventure. By the way what was the cot/pad combo you used.

Kevin, I really enjoyed your story. For your anchor system have you looked into using a load sharing anchor system. Using this you can get much more out of your stakes or you can even use small bushes for your anchor. We used a similar anchor in a whitewater rescue class that I took and it was amazing how much pull you could put on a few small bushes.
