The meat was left with the Inuit community, all 500 of them. The wool on these critters is like the stuff used to fill bag targets. It stops arrows quickly. I was concerned going into the hunt but I thought the 3:1 Snuffer was the proper choice. Maybe a two blade would have been better... Then again, the 70 and 74 pound compounds had their difficulties. I don't know...

Wallhanger,

It's not like me to complain (sort of feel like a frat boy crying over spilled milk), but man, I went a long way and paid a lot of hard earned money. The outfitter knew from the begin that hunting was only half my purpose for being there. I guess he didn't relay that info to his two guides. Don't get me wrong, the guides were awesome-we had some great laughs! They just didn't have the desire to do anything other than sit in camp and have coffee.

If I were to do this hunt again, I would only pay 50% up front and trust fund the balance. If the hunt didn't go as negotiated, I'd get my money back. Island time sucks!
