That is fantastic. Congratulations Vance!
That should be some fine eating, too.

You have been a huge inspiration for 20ish years & I love reading ypur stories every chance I get, even the ones I've read a couple times before. As for what's next, Brown bear if I get a chance. Or bigger moose? And if I can get the time I still hope to chase black bear this fall a bit, not FOR an Encore, but WITH the Encore!

I would buy my partner a new knife for being so selfless and helping out. That is a very special moose and a very special friend to do that for you. BIG congratulations on your hunt and the write up is laid out really well. Great job all the way around.

Great hunt! My family and I were up that way on vacation this year, Soldotna, Kenai, Homer we went all over the peninsula Lol.
Have some friends that live in Kenai, one is an airplane mechanic and his wife is a nurse at the local oil refinery.
Saw lots of wildlife, moose, caribou ,bears etc. Planning our next trip this coming year and hope to hit the salmon run!
Sorry for rambling , But Alaska is awesome!
Looking forward to your "encore " hunting trip! Good luck on that bear!

Vance, what an accomplishment! It’s going to be hard to top that hunt, but it’ll be fun trying. A bull moose with a revolver in a dream hunt. Congrats!!!

Definitely a dream come true for me. And indeed it will be fun seeing whats next. Hopefully in a couple years I will be using one of your blades to dress another critter taken with the revolver or Encore. It would be wonderful to dress a brown bear with one! You, like James, are another individual who has been an inspiration & without even knowing it a long distance mentor for many, many years. Thank you.
