That has got to be a trip of a life time. One day I will do the same thing. Love the pictures. You will have to do a complete write up and more pictures when you get back.

look what i can do!!
We are three for three... I just got a Black bear today... :)

5' Male.. He is small but i'll take it for a first one.. fish and game said he is about average for the area we got him in......

BTW do not think for A min that these are easy hunts, I have done more hiking this week than I ever have in my life, no joke.. my legs hurt sooo bad, my knees are swollen and I have done some nerve damage to my foot and I have lost feeling in my big toe on my right foot, considering two of the guys (brother and his buddy) are doctors they said it should come back with time.. ALL STILL WORTH IT!! We have decided to make this an annual event, so i'll be putting in for sheep and goat tags for next season!!:)

We leave tonight for moose again for the oher two members of our party to fill their tags..

So here are a few more pics for ya...

Did you shoot the Bear with your 44? Nice job, it looks like your having a great time. :cool:
NO, the 44 is a safty device.. nothing like being able to walk in to the grocery store and not only NOT have the police called but to be stopped by others just to chat about hunting.. Alaskans are a differant breed! Love it up here.. if it were not a frozen waistland in winter i would move here!

i'll have a few more pic's soon.. including the griz tracks we happened upon...:freak:

Take that as wasteland (too many of us was waistlands all year round).

Where in Alaska are you working out of?

It is a cool state, with each part so different (I have spent time in Anchorage, Nome and down in the pan-handle south of Juneau.)

Great work on putting in the hard effort to make the hunts work out!

Were it not for photographic evidence, I'd call BS on this entire thread. I've known Olli for a long time, and I find it highly unlikely he could remain quiet or even operate at subdued tones for long enough to hunt something that isn't deaf.

I'm only on vacation, but I spent alot of my childhood in Homer comercial fishing, and hunting. My brother is now a doctor @ the hospital here in Anchorage.
We had all the hunts well planned before I ever got here and it has been the most greuling two weeks of hunting I have ever had. we just got back from the goat hunt and were successful and got a 9.5 incher, it is just above average.
