Pure Hunting

Willi and his friend Chris have been dropped off in the middle of nowhere on a 'Do-it-Yourself' Alaskan Caribou hunt. Willi took down an enormous caribou earlier in the trip, and now it's Chris' turn to try to track down one of these wily resident bulls on the open tundra. kwhunting

After 7 years of waiting, Willi draws a highly-coveted tag to hunt in a unit of Colorado famous for its 300-inch-class trophy bull elk. He enlists the help of his friend Chris to scout and call for the animals, but he encounters a less welcome visitor even before Chris can arrive.

For thirteen years, Chris has dreamt of hunting pronghorn in Colorado, and he's finally got his chance after drawing a tag for a renowned pronghorn unit. Unable to pass up the golden opportunity to accompany a buddy on his first-ever pronghorn hunt, Willi decides to join Chris and help out.

For Willi's friend Chris, just drawing the coveted Rocky Mountain Bighorn Sheep archery tag felt like a victory in itself. However, once the hunt begins, it becomes clear that victory is anything but assured.
