Fellas i just returned home from my sitka island blacktail hunt and i was successful in harvesting the deer, This completes the super 29 for me as i have hunted every noted animal in north america now.
First off i want to thank alberta outdoorsman for the continuous support in relaying information and the outstanding information a person can receive from this website.
My wife and kids,Darien and Shelby have been extemely supportive through the whole journey with me beyond and above, I thank them for this.
I publically wrote about my journey over the last 7 years of seriously going for the north american 29 becasue i strongly beleive if people can see the different animals and storys of them animals it might drive people to different adventures.
I will be the youngest person in the world to ever accomplish this and the only reason i was able to was becasue of the drilling rigs here in alberta, I would work the winters and hunt the falls.
