Two days ago I returned from B.C. and I had no success with the Billy - trophywise. We saw some old Billys, but we couldn`t get close enough for a shot.

The hunt was very tough, physically as well as mentally. Rainy weather in the first 10 days and very cold winds from the glaciers as well as night frost sometimes gave us hard times, but my guide Darren and me had nevertheless a fine time hunting. 

The closest Billy I saw, was about ten meters, but it was a 4-year-young Billy and I decided not to shoot him. Darren succeeded in taking a very nice picture of that special "meeting".

On the 12th day, when we transferred our tent to another good looking place and were crossing a plateau high up near the glaciers, my guide Darren spotted a magnificent Caribou-Bull in the far distance. Because I had a Caribou-License, too, we didn`t hesitate and followed the bull immediately.

We found him again, bedded down and succeeded in closing in to 15 meters. Proceeding further was impossible, without spooking the animal. The only thing I could do was to wait, since the Caribou was still bedded down and all that I could see of the animal were the antlers.

One very long hour later, me standing barefoot in the icecold muddy water, the bull finally stood up and I could get a shot. I hit the bull to high and the broadhead hit the spine. The animal immediately crashed down, working frantically with the front legs, the hind legs were paralyzed.

Quickly I closed the gap to the Caribou and finished it off- to my own surprise the swampy ground seemed not be as cold as it had been before!

The Abowyer-170 grs. broadheads - the tip I had changed to an "Ashby-Tanto-Tip" -  performed perfect. We could hardly remove the first broadhead  from the spine, the broadhead is nearly undamaged, only one edge is a bit "serrated" now, but it would be no problem to resharpen it easily.

Good hunting,

Wolfgang
