Nim, not sure I want to make a big deal of it. When I talked to Fish and Game, they said that these guys were the best instructors they had ever had, and really spoke highly of them. Pretty scary if you ask me, but I really feel that I' ll be shouting into the wind if I make a complaint inside of their group. I did tell them how overrated Alaska is however.

Phish, not a goose one to be seen anymore. Got a stalk on a red fox last night, saw 4 caribou with one small bull, but drove an extra 185 miles to see if there were anymore to be stalked. Should of gone after the small guy 15 miles out of town. When the odometer hit 100 miles, I turned around and came back. Saw one grizzly 12 miles south of town, 4 caribou 15 miles south and the red fox about 16 miles south. Nothing but hawks, ravens and musk ox all the way down to pump three.

Brian, good luck with all the upcoming seasons! Sounds like you' ll keep yourself busy.
