Leap of faith and moved

Great story, Merc! Your hand on the paw is a cool picture. Was the griz getting after your meat cache?

I’ve done the haul road hunt a couple times but never a fly out. On my bucket list. Congrats to you and your buddy!

He wasn't getting into our cache, but was getting closer to camp. We'd seen him the day before about 3mi away, and then I shot him at about a mile and a half from camp.

The fly outs are a whole different experience.

Ever eat at the Apollo restaurant in Seward?? The breadsticks are to die for. We were there in May and had a wonderful time.

I have not, I usually camp and bring my own food but I'll have to make an exception there.

Thanks everyone, it has been a trip for sure.

I just read this whole thread.... Merc, you should write a book and incorporate these pictures. You Sir, are living a very special life. I wish you safe travels on all your adventures, and will stay tuned for the next chapter.

Someone suggested that while I was in the military, but so many other guys out there with much better stories than mine.

Don't be envious, I'm always open to visitors!

I'm still going to be spending part of the winter down in Texas too. Ice fishing only gets me out so much.

A guy I used too guide with was the ultimate snowbird. He's up there till about now around Katchacan then he works around Riveria, TX thru the winter then goes back up there.

Not gonna lie kinda hoping the company I work for has a tracking job that way one day! Already did the Cutbank to Billings, MT run

Congratulations again on the bull, been tough hunting for everyone this year. Have a safe flight back, wish the weather was nicer and you had some more time.

In true fashion I haven't updated this as things are always 90miles a minute while I'm home. Did a bit more flight training this last trip home (out of Georgetown under the GIbill), finished my instrument rating before last rotation so I'm working on commercial now. And I bought the white Avid and the red and silver Cessna 175.
