        I write an article for a local newsletter for the Willmore Wilderness Foundation. This fall’s edition just came out and I thought my story turned out ok, it can be found here (on page 16 – I’m Mark Engstrom): Your text to link here…

        I hope it’s alright with the admin to post this link here.

        I’d love some feedback on my story, I’m new to trad so it’s a rifle hunt, hopefully I’ll get a trad hunt story in there next fall!

          Nice Story. I could smell that northern air as I read it…. but a word of advice: don’t try a 130 yd shot with your bow 😯

          The only complaint I had on the story was that I would have liked a picture of the buck you shot after the elk and maybe your camp. But I know, space is always limited…

            Here’s a pic for you Steve:

            Camp was pretty basic, my 14X16 nylon dome tent.

              The beauty and majesty of the land and beast you have the privilege to live among almost makes me want to move north….I said almost 🙂

              I know you will enjoy your transition to the bow. The thrill you will get from harvesting a deer or elk like you did this year at 15 yds with a stick and string is unspeakable.

              I look forward to reading that article!!!

                Thanks, Steve! I’ve heard NC is pretty nice too 😀

                I am really looking forward to hunting with my longbow this year. If time permits I will be out during bow season chasing those elk around, the rut starts towards the end of bow season so there’s a good chance I will get an opportunity to get up close to some bulls.

                  Hi Rocks, pushed for time at the moment but have saved the news letter to read latter, looking forward to it.

                  Mark.
