Can not tell you how much I appreciated you taking the time for this!  Something I may never get the chance to do. . . just thrilling to be alongside in story.  Congrats.

Bears can attack people- although fewer people have been killed by bears than in all WWI and WWII combined.

Just home from Fairbanks.....

Walt: Great meeting up with you and Dave for dinner at the Pump House. I'm really glad you guys saw your dreams through to fruition. A good moose adventure in interior Alaska is not an easy thing to pull off. Doing it on your own is a very sweet reward. You guys have my complete admiration and respect!

By the way...great storytelling. I know the kind of terrain involved in the story, and I know how crazy it can be to get a big bull out of there. I just can't quit doing it the hard way!

Great story, I loved the self talk!
Congratulations on a successful hunt like this!

Kevin,

The dinner at the Pump house was one of the higlights of the trip.  

Everybody, I am a rookie when it comes to moose compared to Kevin and his hunting buddy Bryan, they have been doing this for years.  The information and advise provided by Kevin and Bryan was the template governing many of my actions during the hunt.  I could of, and most likely would have, made a dozen "learning" mistakes without listening to the tactics employeed by them.  

THANKS!    :notworthy:        :notworthy:        :notworthy:    

My bull is a Piss-Ant compared to the bulls those two have taken.
The broadhead used, regardless of how sharp, is nowhere as important as being able to place it in the correct spot.

Walt,

Congratulations again on a great bull!  It's awesome that embers turned into fire and ultimately a fantastic bull...(at 4 yards with a selfbow)!!  

The pre-hunt dinner at the Pump House was very enjoyable and I wish we could've hooked up with you and Dave to swap stories after the hunt.

As mentioned several times above, great storytelling my friend!!
