Well done Don. You experience the highs and lows, and heart break and heart shots in an Alaskan adventure you will re-live over and over. Good for you. I might try out some of those arrows.   Mike

Thanks Don for letting us join you on this "hunt of a lifetime".  

The arch of your arrow reaches deeply into our primeval past, in ways science cannot define and many others will never understand...we are the lucky few still connected to that early history.  Most of us "few" will spend the rest of our lives seeking these very moments...years of preparation and thought for a few, mere seconds of arrow flight that in our minds, will last forever....

Love it!

Thanks Man!

Kris

Your story gave me a sudden urge to start planning a northern hunt!  Thanks for sharing and NICE SHOT!

Don,

Congratulations on a wonderful caribou bull! That's a heck of a story and good job telling it. I was right there with you when the string dropped. The heart-shot picture is phenomenal!

Seriously! That's a great story. And what a nice bull. 40+ yards nice. They are big. Elk are the same way. Unlike deer they don't shrink at those distances. Nice job.  Hunt of a lifetime for sure.

Oh man!  I thought the story was over when you lost the first bull to the river.   Incredible ending!  Congrats!!!
