Great write up, Capra74!! Really enjoyed reading that. What month did you hunt and if you could do it again would you recommend going any earlier or later then you did?
My experience has been that pressure is definitely light early in the bow season especially compared to the rifle season. If you can get a pattern on those early season bucks you should have a good hunt. That first week of September you could possibly get one still in velvet. Bugs can still be...
bates, I'm booked with Jonah for that same hunt in 2017 also. Really looking forward to my first trip to the Brooks! Lots of great gear advice in this thread. Thanks guys!
