Dall sheep hunting during 2007 in a bit steeper country! Each day my partner and I had to either fiord a glacial melt outwash stream OR climb over the glacier to get to the side of teh canyon where the rams would hang out. We only attempted crossing the stream twice as it really raged late in the da...

A photo of myself along a divide whilst dall sheep hunting in Alaska. This is relatively "flat" for sheep country.

A young bull caribou in late winter, one antler is shed. March, 2008.

A small bull and cow/calf caribou in Interior Alaska. Photo was taken north of Tok in Sept 2006 whilst searching for dall sheep.

G'day Ben!

If you ever have any questions on Archery History, THE source is Cliff Huntington down in Louisiana. You can probably locate Cliff from TradGang pretty easily.

Ok, life got hectic for a bit there. Two years later and I have come from ground. I have moved but just to a different part of Alaska.

Here is a pic of a kid mountain goat that came within 12 feet of me and my mate last August south of Juneau.

Grahame,

I only do that for field points and thus the temper shouldn't matter. for broadheads I never have a problem as Ribbies just plain stick to the tapers and as you probably already know probably don't even need glue.

Instead of degreasing I super-heat my points under a torch. You can watch the oil line march toward the point as it burns off. Make sure and get your glue bubbly and use the high temp glue.

Actually Larry is 7' 2" tall. Those numbers are transposed, it should read "84 inch longbow".

Grahame,

Just a suggestion. Does the site generate number of posts for each user? If so how about you start at the most active user and tell 'em it their turn! That way you might gather up the shy ones too and get the ball rolling!

Cold, you want cold? Donnie and I went to Faro, Yukon last January and went to a sheep wintering area. It was between -20 and -40 degrees F (-29 TO -40 Celsisus). Now that IS BRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!

Ok, one more as I think I'm behind!

Here is an oblique aerail photo of some seriously steep goat country north of Juneau.

How about some wildlife too.

Here is the south end of a porcupine facing north.

More snow...

Ok, I think I overcame my technical ineptitude, at least for now....

Dang dinky photos...

In snowshoes whilst doing a snow/watershed survey a couple years ago near Juneau. We got ~12 feet of snowpack at the highest spot.

Seriously? You've bever even SEEN snow???? I think I have a couple more pics just for you!

I thought I posted this one last night, try again.

This is the Braeburn elk herd which is the World's farthest north herd in the Yukon.

The British Columbia and Yukon border north of Skagway, Alaska.

I have gone thru those pics half a dozen times now. If that is work, I want your job!


More pics please!!!

My buddy Kevie Bahr shooting an arrow in the hills above the Moose John River in Alaska where Jay Massey's ashes were spread.

I am soooooo far behind. Here is another photo of "goat country". Steep-steep!

WOW-WOW-WOW!!!!

That old bull photo makes me fear, what a BEAST!

I should have expanded on what I posted yesterday. The tanned leather will act as a sponge and soak up moisture. I seriously think you will end up with a big weight on your limbs using leather and the bottom line of that is making your limbs sluggish and not allowing them to fully do their job. Also...

You want rawhide, not leather for bow backings.

Here are buck and doe "Sitka blacktail deer" from Admiralty Island.

Here's another small brown bear pic from Admiralty Island. Once again I'm safely tucked away in a suburban!

Lou,

Thuis one was in the Yukon, not Alaska. We actually saw two different cats within about 1 or 2 km!
