Make sure and check that gun at the range in Sitka when you get there.

Pro tip: bring your gun with you when you go to set your targets. You never know when an 8' brown bear will appear out of the brush.  :yike:

You should truly challenge yourself and hunt with the .460  :chuckle:
Oh wait, you want to have some venison to eat  :drool:

Well, met with captain and can't think of anything we didn't cover. We went over the menu options,  found out neither like brussel sprouts but we have olenty of dining options.  Got our top picks for movie night down and who gets which lazy boy. Now just gotta get there and go from there.

Sounds rough. Obligatory drink at the P Bar? Just don't let Chris talk you into ringing the bell.

Make sure you pay 10 bucks and go see the fortress of the bear.

People get offended at nothing at all. So, speak your mind and be unapologetic.

Getting 3 tons of ice right now. If H20 can't get enough venison, ling, yelloweye and halibut to make use of it, he's gonna be shoveling on his last day with me to earn his ride back to the airport. 

In the fishing biz, that's not abuse. It's motivation. :chuckle:

Couldn’t you just let it melt, then pump it out? :dunno:

In a 33 degree hold, it would take a long time to melt that out. Probably February-ish. 
As soon as the fun and games are over, I need to get back to work with a scrubbed and sterilized hold. Just part of the deal.  It really doesn't take that long to shovel it out, as long as you have the technique down.
