Well time is finally here and heading North in the morning, 0'dark thirty, got the Haul-Bou fever. Not too worry Big Horse, not giving vital secrets away of locations here in Washington (don't have any to give away anyhow). Trying to achieve something directing success here versus going blind, until I get the chance to explore areas on my own next spring and summer. Main adjective this season is put meat in the freezer, can't eat the horns and we all love Elk meat much more than Caribou. Good luck on your Bear and Deer hunt on POW, didn't get to make it there but did fish a few falls out of Ketchikan for multiple BIG Kings. I'll tell you what it- it sure is alot easier to get ready from Eagle River than it is from here for this trip; gun case, bow case, hunting bag and carry on. Now if I could just decide on one weapon, I'd be ok, but this trip is too much fun to do it with only one choice. Besides, missed a great opportunity in 04' at Atigun Pass for a huge Ram twenty feet up the slide, stood there and looked at us for fifteen minutes, probably knew we only had our rifles- all we could do was take a couple great photos, what a time. Good luck to all - on their trips this season and look forward to hearing the reports from their adventures, good or bad.
