Well about ready to hit the road for summer. I should be able to check in from time to time. Not really sure of the schedule and also if he even has a computer. I am hoping to hook up with Doug Borland (Jay Massey' s partner on the famous Moose John). This will be my 8th trip to sitka and I have no clue why I have yet to shake hands with the man but I havent. This time I will and hopefully will be able to learn more about Doug and Jays adventures.

I should return the first or second of august for a few days then its off again and kind of in and out till the end of october as I was asked to guide for brown bears and caribou with a 2nd outfit in october after the sept moose season. We' ll see how that pans out as this outfit has me wondering if I should or not.

In the mean time have a great summer and hopefully a blast this fall if I dont a chance to stop in. Hopefully this place will pick up some, atleast more so then it has been since the new site has come around. That and the summer 3d shoots I am sure has everyone busy.

TJ,

I have a week at the end of august we might be heading up for caribou. I am not sure how things are going to lie till the end of june I reckon as the dates I' ll be leaving for moose camp are in the air yet. I am hoping to go early so as to help set up and get a bit familiar with the area and how they are running that camp before the clients arrive. If things work out we might be going up the haul road around the 24th. I' ll try and give you better dates as the sheep hunt draws nearer. I will be taking the wife as she wants to get out of town on some kind of trip this year. Guess she' s feeling it to with me being gone most of summer and all but a few weeks of fall and early winter. I am not sure ifn we' ll do the fly out float but that is a possibility. That or I know of some " fun" water we can run and hopefully not loose to much equipment in the process to get to some good caribou hunting areas away from the slobs of the haul road! Not to mention some good fishing can be had for arctic char which in itself can be worth it. Be forewarned its all a timing game, fish runs and caribou migrations are feast or famine like I was saying before and with limited time and funds flying other then a quick drop is out. The fly out float is a pretty fun one and an easy float. The fishing is super for char and grayling as long as water conditions dont go bad as they have 2 yrs in a row now. Its still feast or famine on the bou but fun no matter how ya look at it. I' ll try and keep in touch with ya as august approaches and maybe we can work it out this year. Just DON' T let me talk you into a october hunt up their. Your chances of shooting a rank bull is high and its colder then snot! Its fun when the bou are around or down right miserable when they aint! Keep in touch and get that MSN Messanger figured out so we can chat the few days I' ll be here!!!
