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!!!
Great article and good folks too.
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
Agree - good read, made me feel good
Great article for sure.
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.

Great article...very moving.
A great article indeed...I couldn't help it, had to read it a couple times
Loved it... thinking about reading it second time!!
that was the first article i read this issue and really enjoyed it. great people!
I liked it ....it was well written and worth reading again, and again!
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 licensed guide.
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".
Great article indeed, Big fan of Doug B articles. Also like them stykbows alot.
Great read
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.
Great article great magazine.
Yeh, I've just read that very same article... makes one want to head to the bush, back pack and longbow in hand and hunt hunt hunt....
