Very nice fellas I would love to go up there sometime for a hunt like that!  What do you figure it would cost door to door you can send me a private message if you want!  Terrific bucks!

Awesome pictures and magnificent deer.  Those two bucks you guys killed are awesome.  Many people won't realize the logistics of your hunt and the quality of your Sitka deer (unless they beet-feet   up into the alpine).  
Your right, Rich is a goat! You guys are some hard core Sitka deer hunters.  Thank you for sharing.

Man, those are some great bucks.  And doesn't it feel great putting some sweat in for 'em ?  Congrats !

It was a great time.  Whether any deer were taken or not it would have been a success.  No matter the terrain, weather, or crazy place I wanted to take these guys they had a smile and positive attitude.  

I wasn't to sure about my whole plan of bringing a couple guys I don't know up and taking them out, kind of a winter doldrums idea, but I'm really glad I did.  They are a couple of stand up guys.  I'm hoping they'll come back and give these deer another try.

Chris and Todd, thanks much.  Can't wait to do it again!!

Few more pixs.
