Congrats, Jason –
I realize it can be tough to allow yourself to be willing to hear from everyone who has an opinion, but this public acknowledgement has to help be a balm to those whose comments are perhaps, how should I say it?, not as informed… yeah, not as informed. I will leave it at that.
Again, congrats on the acknowledgement from those within the industry. And the folks at Peterson are right – good isn’t good enough. But you already knew that.
All my best,

Congrats again. I am really looking forward to trying my new KUIU outfit in 9 days, going into the Talkeetna’s after a Dall’s. My outfitter hasn’t seen any yet either so it will be a first for us both.
Good luck Mark! Please let me know how your trip goes. I am leaving in 12 days for the NWT to hunt with Tavis and Arctic Red again.
