I saw on your FB stories that you were down. I was looking forward to them. I was excited to follow along and see how the crew performed at LANWR. What happened?!
FlyGuyy should be in the way out with load two and tossed him some water to rehydrate. We took the hide/cape for the TAHC check and shuttled a good sized game bag to the federal officer for him. He was in great spirits! Can’t wait to see him post the story!

Man, you two guys are the bomb! I need to buy you both a beer soon! You saved me some hours!!! My track for the pack out was 7.3, but it would have been nearly 10 if y’all hadn’t come To the rescue!! I can’t tell you how much that was appreciated! I’d put in 4.5 before the kill, so my *** is dragging right now for sure. Got the last load to the truck right at 2am. I Loaded the kayak and broke camp down and headed to Laguna vista for a shower and some calories. I wish I had a scale handy for that last load of meat and gear. I bet it was pushing 110-120#
All in with bow and bino harness. The last mile was terrible, and the last 600 yards were just **** painful. I never stopped to rest on that pack out b/c I didn’t think I’d be able to get back up again if I ever sat! What a relief that’s behind me.
Yes, taking a bull Nilgai with a bow has been a dream of mine for many years! I’ve wanted one so bad it hurt! So, so happy to finally have that one checked! I’ll tell the full story later, but this came down to the final hour of my final day and I’ve somehow kept my streak alive on making the board 4/4. Man I love this place. It’s so dang hard. Everything about it. But success here feels like nothing else.
Special thanks to the awesome crew at LANWR for ferrying my cape back to the check station waaaaaay after hours and for staying late to process it. Law enforcement and staff out here are top notch! So, so lucky to have a place like this to hunt these amazing creatures. God I hope I draw again next year!
That’s all for now folks. I’ve got to get a few hours of sleep. Big drive tomorrow. Congratulations to everyone out there that made the board. That board is impressive, I don’t think it will ever be topped!
