"I just returned from Alaska after a great hunt with Tom Shankster. I was able to bag a nice black bear and my dall sheep.
 
I hiked some great mountains and saw some fantastic country and animals: 7 black bears, 2 grizzly bears, caribou, moose and lots of sheep. I passed on one ram on day two. It would have been a long 358 yard shot. He was a very good ram but with the distance and wind blowing 20+ miles per hour sideways to the ram I decided not to shoot.
 
I used a rifle but was able to sneak in to a bow-like 36 yards before taking the shot. I took him on 9/2/06 on my second to last day of hunting. He was aged at 9 1/2 years old and full curl.
 
The entire trip was AWESOME! Thanks Tom!"
