Default RE: Consolation Prize Wolverine

Lucked out on all three
This makes it sound like you got all three, BUT it sounds likethe wolverine was your only kill?

younggun243, there is no outfitter in AK that gives anyone a 100% chance to kill. In fact. a lot of outfitters try so hard to put thier hunters ona larger animal, and often loose opportunitys to take any legal animal. Just because a person pays big money and comes home empty does not mean thatthe particular outfitter isn't any good. Lots of things come into play, such as weather, animal numbers, condition of the hunter, etc. Tim will be able to tell us though if in his opinion the outfitter was at fault, or if there were other reasons out of the outfitters hands that kept him from scoring.
Tim, when I went up to AK two years ago on a combo hunt, we saw a wolverine, actually went after it, BUT if gave us the slip. We did get a nice moose and caribou, but that wolverine would've been awesome too! Congrats on a fine critter!
