Guest speakers Bryan Burkhardt and Jim Eeckhout will be recounting their Alaskan TRIBUTE HUNT
The year was 2019 and it marked the 60th anniversary of the 1959 Little Delta hunt in which both Fred Bear and Glenn St. Charles were in the hunting party. To pay tribute to these couple of great men that pioneered the way for today’s bowhunters, Bryan and Jim undertook an adventure. Using original 1959 Bear Kodiak bows, Northwest Archery arrows (including some with original feathers from the 1959 hunt!), and a plethora of period correct gear, Bryan and Jim headed to Alaska in pursuit of moose. Come hear the details of their adventure first hand. They may even conclude with a picture of a moose!
