Yipper...the mountains in the back ground are our only BOW only zone and it's for Dall Sheep only....you can use a gun for other game in there (caribou are protected). Not ideal but you take what you can get.

Some nice grizz up there and we are going to concentrate on that this spring.

From the camp it takes about 2.5 - 3 hours to get on top with my horse and then I am into sheep all day. That year we had a heck of a time though because of the high winds early in july and the blowdowns were impossible to get around.

I only had 2 days up the mountain...sucked

Horses, Yukon, tent camping, sheep, Griz......sounds like Fred Bear field notes to me. One of my all time favorite reads. It sounds like we've each got our respective piece of heaven on earth.

Well maybe. It's hard hunting up here though. They aren't as liberal about hunting here if you can imagine. Still fighting to be able to hunt Buffalo with a bow if you can imagine that. The bow zone for dalls is by lottery and you are lucky to get drawn every 2 years. Now there are lots of places to go that have sheep adn not a draw, but it's nice to go up there knowing it's bow only.

You really have to get of the beaten trail here though to see many animals. River hunts in late August and early Sept are great for bears and moose.

Caribou are packing in or fly in. Bears in Spring are plentiful. Goats are draw in most places. YOu can't shoot a fox with a bow and actually squirrels aren't on the list becasue they are fur bearing (trappers only). Can't hunt lynx and the deer are draw and I heard Elk will be opened next season for draw.

Well I would love to come down to your neck of the woods for a week hunt though. Just to be around people that can teach me more. I am a self taught archer/bowhunter and I love to watch video clips of Fred taking game and I read lots and this site is excellent.

Alex VanBibber (a native guide) on one of his trips here. I can't remember the one, but it was the one where fred is shown on horse back and they make camp. He sets up for a bowfish for a sockeye salmon. Then he gets a nice goat and then sneeks in on a grizz and gets him.

Alex is still around and I have talked to him about Fred and he says he was one of the few people he respected with a bow. He said he probably could shoot the eye out of a mosquito.

Dunno, but those videos are priceless to me. I don't have many with Howard Hill..not sure if they made many.

Some of the new ones are great quality video, but lack a bit on realism, but then again I haven't seen many beside the Youtube ones and they are probably not ones to judge from anyway.

So maybe someday I can bring my Shrew down and hunt with the Shrew gang once...even if it's a bunny hunt or a 3D range.....

Have a great season everyone and keep 'em coming it's great reading for the man from the frozen north.

Ron, Thanks for sharing Shrewhaven with us!

But Ron, you better be careful with those
Allen W Eckert books they can be habit forming. I ended buying a bunch on ****!(opps). Even called one of my longbows "Panther Passing Across" after I bought and read "A Sorrow in Our Hearts"!
No more do I associate "Tecumseh" with lawnmower engines.

Later I even went to the outdoor  
A.W. Eckert/Tecumseh reinactment at Chillicothe O.

I hear you.  Fred Asbell got me started on them when he loaned me a copy of "That Dark and Bloody River". Then I read "The Frontiersmen" and am now reading, "Gateway to Empire" I've got a copy of "A Sorrow in Our Hearts" and will read that next.

Eckerts books are long but you can't put em down.    :readit:

Seems Eckerts books are a hit with the Trad Gang crew.

They are a a whole lot better  than TV. I usually get my Atlas out while I'm reading so I  get a better picture where everything happened. I've also read the books you have mentioned Ron.

I agree that they're long but I find myself getting a little sad as I get to the end of the book I'm reading cause I know it will be over!

I picked the book up because it was huge.  Thought I would read a few pages and see if it was any good.  Hooked!  My husband has been reading James Alexander Thom books lately.  I had to show him up and read a fat one!  Great book.
