Here are a couple more pictures of Jeff’s moose. What makes this more impressive is that he makes his own archery equipment from hand! Congrats Jeff on an awesome animal! Dan and I will definately have to put that on our “To DO” list for sure!

Long bow and 3 days to pack out. That is a trip of a lifetime and a 62″ Bull Moose to top it off!

He is quite the outdoors man. He has taken almost every large game animal in North America with his long bow. He’s been on many adventures believe me. I can not wait to get up there and do a moose or caribou hunt with him. Hopefully in a couple years we can make that trip.

What an awesome animal and the pictures tell it all! Please have your cousin tell us about this hunt. I would love to hear how one goes about planning a moose hunt as well. Or…. Mike – feel free to interview your cousin and write up a report. September 9, 2009 at 2:02 pm #57722I would love to interview him…will IDO pay for me to fly into Alaska for the interview?

The answer is yes for both questions! As long as your cousin sets me up on a free moose hunt!

What an awesome animal and the pictures tell it all! Please have your cousin tell us about this hunt. I would love to hear how one goes about planning a moose hunt as well. Or…. Mike – feel free to interview your cousin and write up a report.
Here is a quick story on Jeff’s hunt:
“Hey Cuz,
Yea he is a good bull, with a ton of character, 62″ I missed a huge Grizzley at 30 yrds eating berry’s, It’s the first time I was close enough to see bear balls, I can cross that off my bucket list!! tha bear I missed was awesome, I’m headed back with Mike Ische in a week and try to get him a moose, me a sheep and or a Grizzley!! I’m not out of wood arrows yet!!”
“Dan,
It took 4 day’s to pack him out, It was a stupid pack 3.1 miles one way, It took two of us two trips per day at over a 100lbs per load, 12 miles total per day 6 of them with 100+ pounds on my fragile ol back, legs, I don’t recommend this to anyone unless you are thoughtless and unafraid, BRAIN DEAD
Dan I flew my plane up to the Brooks Range, Primarily to hunt Sheep and Grizzly’s, Saw this real nice moose about 5 miles away and my hunting buddy Brent and myself asked each other if we are really that stupid to go after something that big at that distance you could put your thumb over, Brent told me by the end of the day we will have a great memory or story ,We got the wind right, Brent did some calling and raking, I did some stalking, juking and diving, Patience was my friend, shot him about 20yrds quartering away, right in the ol heart, he went 50yrds, and I saw him pile up the cow stayed with him the whole time, In the moose world size matters!!
Dan here are a couple of pic’s of sheep and bears
Jeff”
He’s going back out next week to see if he can fill his buddy’s (from Eau Claire) moose tag and to see if he can get back on a sheep and possibly another opportunity at a grizzly bear.

September 9, 2009 at 5:40 pm #57754 September 9, 2009 at 8:22 pm #57765Great recap Drenlan 30!
It’s not all fun is it? That’s a lot of work packing that big moose that far! 
Tell your “cuz” that IDO wishes him the best and we want to see a picture of that grizzly as soon as he puts the

You got it Brad!
Discussion are already underway for a caribou hunt in a few years! 
I may have to find another house to hopefully put all the bone I’ll be collecting in the next few years!! September 10, 2009 at 2:34 am #57804 That is traditional archery at its best! Congrats to your cousin. One heck of an accomplishment!
