Myself and another Tradganger are headed to Alaska in November for the same type of hunt!!! The similarities are incredible. The tradganger and I have never met as of yet but we have been talking/emailing weekly, trading/selling bows for the last 5 years

The friends I have made on this site alone are invaluable!! We are headed out to tame the Blacktails with our bows with another traditional archer who resides in Alaska and has invited us out--In which case none of us have met yet and this hunt has come together on the sole premise of our passion for trad archery. Incredible--Just incredible to me. A leap of faith for all, one I would never consider if it weren't bound together by the moral strands of traditional archers.

Sweet! This is a hunt I really would like to do soon.

Hope you include us in your journey Kevin. Sounds like a great trip.

I wonder if the deer numbers go up and down with the severity of the winters up there?

Few more pixs

Luvthehunt and Onions used longbows. Luvthehunt used one he made himself and I can't remember what make Chris used.
I figure if you're going to hunt blacktails then you better use a Blacktail bow so that's what I shoot.
