So I leave 3 weeks from today to hunt moose in Alaska. Turns out they may have sent a scout down to keep an eye on me. Walking my lab and twin boys on the trail between Barker and Liberty Lake last night - wouldn't you know it, bull moose standing in the middle of the trail checking me out. He darted off toward the river and pretended to hide, but I know as soon as I left he called his buds in Fairbanks to fill them in.
