i completely understand the significance of this. nothing like a sweet piece of dried morale.

I agree, you're not much of a writer.

You're an excellent writer. A most excellent story too...

Thank you.

Kevin, I wonder how many people you have inspired to follow their dreams to Alaska?  Speaking for myself, this story inspired me to plan a 2-week adventure with my wife and kids last summer, just driving an RV all over the state.  We hit many of the same areas you mentioned, and I recognize some of the scrnes in your photos.  It was our best family vacation yet!  I was NOT able to add on a solo hunt afterwards, but will get in two Alaskan bowhunts this fall.  Well done sir, thanks for showing us how it's done!

Awesome story!!! Maybe one day i will get to experience an adventure like this!

      Hope you are well Kevin.

Awesome...  this is probably the second best story I read on the internet, the first was his story a month or two ago when hunting for moose..

Kevin,

You got your adventure!  Thank you for sharing it with us.

You don't even realize how much we enjoy reading tales like this!

Wow!  What a story!  I love adventure, but I'm the first to admit I would have been 100% miserable there in the weather.  I'll have to hunt the hills and hollers of KY!   Thanks for sharing!!!

KyRidgeRunner, allow me to quote myself:

"It helps to be either dumb or tough...I haven't fully decided on which is better."    

Thanks for the nice comments everyone. Not every worthy adventure ends with a dead animal...but that's part of Bowhunting 101.

Thank you Kevin.  That made for a great read again.  

As for me, I'm just the opposite...I'm both dumb and tough, I don't know which one is worse.    

Great story. Thanks for allowing me/us to tag along.    

Thanks for sharing your adventure with us. You gained an awful lot of memories and made it back safely. Sounds like a successful hunt to me.

Thanks for sharing agian Kevin...like always "AWESOME IN ALL REGARDS".  I like your rock hounding, I always seem to have time for this and have some weight in my pack contributed to bring some rocks out.

Mountian hunts are always successfull even when animals dont cooperate.

Fantastic story of adventure Kevin! Thanks for taking us along. I really enjoy reading your stories
