Caribou Country

We left Chicken the day before the hunt so we could be ready the next morning. The trail into the cabin was an absolute highway of sludge! Byron is sporting the Frogg Toggs, the ultimate in impenetrable outdoor gear.
It rained for about 50% of the first day - the rest of the day being a mixture of hail, overcast, and sunny weather. As for the caribou, who knows what their story is?

From right to left: Byron, Steve, Bono (AKA : Dave Stancliff)
The sun showed on day 2, but still no bou.
Mushrooms on the trailside......B spotting from the best vantage point on the hill.
A well known landmark on the trail - "The Teryx."

This is the cabin we stayed in. Sour patch kids anyone?

Ol' Crooner
Steve's catch:

The fish worthy of the derby prize - a Mentasta Burger!
Nice Feesh!

Alaska Sampler

This is a short clip of some of the wildlife we saw on the trip.

Beach Fun

The best part of moving to Oregon has been the opportunity to be near family. While Dave was hunting in Alaska, I was spending time at the Oregon Coast.

The Move...

We don't have many pictures of our drive down through Canada. Most of our footage is on video or on Mary's camera. We'll try to post more later, but until then, here are a few photos from the beginning of our journey...
One last picture in front of the glacier....it was raining as usual


We learned that they have attack ravens at the Alaska/Canada border. This bird had no fear. He climbed all over my car while I was eating. I guess he could see the food through the windows and thought he would try to steal a bite.
