TBM Article
« on: July 19, 2010, 11:17:00 AM »
Anyone else read the article in the new TBM, by Doug Borland entitled "Grandpa's Ashes". Very moving article telling of a great tribute hunt. Maximum effort by the hunters. I believe that Dick was using a selfbow? I highly recommend it.

It was a great article. Both Yote and Dick took rams with selfbows. It was a neat concept with Doug, Dick and Yote revisiting a place that Dick and Doug had hunted years earlier. If you have not read the article it is a definite must read!!!
To me, the ultimate challenge in bowhunting is not how far away you can succesfully make a killing shot but rather how close you can get to the animal before shooting.

I remember the article from the original hunt years ago. This article was well written and a good read. I love it when they can take you along on the hunt. Gary

One of the best articles in TBM for a while, IMO.  Made me feel like I was on the mountain with them.

That was a great article. I was at Dick's last week and he told me all about the hunt, it was tough to say the least. I saw those two sheep up close, they are very cool mounts. They are going back next month to try to get Doug a ram.

Is Doug a guide? If not how did they hunt the sheep I thought you had to have a guide or blood relative with you? That was a great story.

Yote is a resident of Alaska and has been living in Dillingham so he can take a relative based on his residency.  Yote is a brown bear guide and I don't think he has his sheep "credentials".

Classic TBM!! While reading it I was taken back to a time when the writings of Jay Massey allowed my mind to believe I too was floating the Moose John or climbing those lofty peaks for sheep.
It is no wonder Borland and Massie were friends. Great writers with an undertsanding of what is really important.
A man who has nothing for which he is willing to fight;nothing he cares about more than his own personal safety;is a miserable creature who has no chance of being free,unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself.
