Alaska Blacktails--we are back!

[lovethehunt]

I first want to thank Pow-Bow for having the courage to invite two strangers to hunt with him. Rich (aka sherpa-because he can climb anything) is an outstanding person. The hunt was outstanding, I have never seen that many mature bucks in a single place. The climb was brutal to say the least. Think of going up a mud covered step ladder for 4 hours on the way up, 6 on the way down in the rain! With 85 pound packs. Thank God we all made it safely back. Rich scored on a great buck the second day. A dandy that was 18in wide-nice shootin' Rich. Onions got close to several good bucks and was not able to seal the deal. The terrain got him once, there wasn't enough room to draw. I shot my deer on the first afternoon after watching him 2 1/2 hours. The shot was about 15 yards, he only went 40 or so before going down, Rich saw the whole thing happen. I hope to go back soon. That place was great!     [I

Thanks for sharing.

Pow-Bow, you are what traditional bowhunting is all about. You made some great memories for a couple lower 48'rs.

Wow! Great pictures. Fantastic deer. The trail in the second to the last picture, is that a deer trail?

I love these feathers on the right sooo much.
gonna buy them as soon as i found out where to get them in germany. :-D

but i always wonder why you can go hunting with bright feathers (as the yellow or barred ones in this thread)?
i see people painting their face black, but shooting neon bright arrows is ok? ^^

Thanks ever so much for sharing ,Unbelievable !

the deer trails are VERY well used, its to steep everywhere else, even for the deer. I would compare the climb from sea level to doing a tri athalon, then doing it again. The last time I was that beat I biked 106 miles in 5 1/2 hours.

Well it looks like I should have gone with ya. I talked with POW-BOW  about this trip and decided I would rather do it later in the season. My bad.

Those are some dang good bucks guys.

Man I shoulda made the trip.

Thanks for posting, I was wondering if he got anybody together for it.

Finq... many times guys will cover the fletch with a fletch cover of some sort. Or just go as is and don't wave the bow around a lot.

Guys! What a great trip. The bucks are awesome, the country gorgeous and pretty dang good company to be with.

That's a young mans hunt for sure.
