Thanks Charles. Yes you can envision  the last hunt in my film by reading my article, “Tested in Alaska,” published  in the next issue of TBM (Aug/Sept. 2018). I have the tanned cape and plan to mount the 2017 bull  as soon as I get a free weekend. Mike

Thank you. If you want to know a little more about Bart, I wrote about his life and published in TBM as well I included it in a chapter in my book (One with the Wilderness).

You can also go to our Brothers of the Bow website where I posted a link to Bart’s story.

http://www.brothersofthebow.com/html/solospirits.html

Bart was a large predator capture expert, naturalist and traditional bowhunter. He helped with the study of tigers in Siberia after the fall of USSR and in many other places . He was featured in the National Geographic documentary called “Tigers in the Snow.” I believe the entire film can be seen on YouTube as well if you search the title. Mike

Used that pack frame when I was in my 20s, but had to pad the waist belt with a jacket or shirt when it rode on my boney hips, but now at 55, I carry my extra padding around my waist all the time. Ha!

Fitting- Yes I usually am prepared to hunt whitetails all day long, but sometimes I get one early. The same with this hunt, I was ready to go the distance and was planning on being away from work for over 20 days, but when I got the moose early I had to come out with the meat. Even though I was limited to 70 pounds of total gear, I did bring a battert charged electcric fence to help secure the meat cache.

The last load of meat broke through the webbing on shelf of my 30 year old pack frame. Pretty sore after I got all the meat and antlers back in came.

This is a video of bull I passed. Was he 52 or 53 inches, or was he 49 1/2 ? Ha! I just could not say for sure. Some folks may have issue with “trophy hunting,” but here in Alaska a non-resident must shoot a 50 inch bull or one with 4 brow points on at least on side in most game units. So you have to be selective.
