Thanks for the follow up Brad.  Great shot too!  Glad  you love the short longbow.  I too love shooting the longbow, have a new one coming in late spring.

Great story and pics! Congrats on a fine bull. What a great trophy!
Question-Brad, if you don't mind me asking...is it essential that you carry a side arm on mountain hunt of this sort? Like bears and such in Alaska? I always have wondered about the dangers! Thanks.

kennyb, I don't personally carry one.  and the ranges I hunted this year weren't ones that have grizz (so they say), so I didn't even carry bear spray.  if I were hunting in a range that had em though, that bear spray would be in reach constantly.

Thanks for sharing your adventure, it is appreciated. You already know this,  but I am going to say it anyway.....You done good,  really good.
