Awesome man! Can't wait to see photos!

Forgot to say that I talked to Sean Wilkerson and he said he ran into you up in Fairbanks (or Anchorage) when he was up buying the bear back from the fur auction. I'll tell him you did well, he asked about it the other day.

Photos!

Great Brett! Hope you had a awesome hunt

Great news Brett.
Congratulations and am looking forward
to your report.

Nice Job Brett, cant wait to see the pics and read all about it, good luck on your journeys back....CK

Thanks everyone! I'm waiting on a few pictures from my guide before I post a report.......plus it's going to take a bit for me to go through all my pictures. I hope to work on that later today.

Greg....I remember meeting him well. Nice guy. Tell him I said hi and send him a link to my report. Thanks!

Brett

Looking forward to the report and congrats on your success!

I finished processing photos from my trip to Istanbul, but I'm still waiting on my guides pictures of my sheep and ibex. I'm going to try to start my report later today with my pre hunt trip in Istanbul.

Brett

Brett:

Your making us crazy!!! Can't wait for pics and report!

Best regards, D. Nelson

Come on Brett! Don't leave us hanging like that

Ya,
Put a sign on the front door and just close your practice for a couple days.
Then you won't have any interruptions while your doing the AR hunt report.

I'll take that under consideration!

Welcome back Brett. Just checked in after being preoccupied with the lake house construction for the last few months. I expect a full report, pics and a little scotch. When you get the time, give me a call and we can get together. Congrats on your success. Hope the trip was everything you hoped for.

Brett, we are going to have to get together this winter and share stories and compare photos.
I also ran into Preston Cavner in Bishkek on his was out.

Jena already offered. She said my spelling errors in my sheep hunt report last year were bad enough that she's stepping in..........like I said I'm a bad speller..........

Hey man, your sheep report was exempleary (sp? ).

Heck , skip the spelling and such and lets see some pics!!!!! You can alwasy do the writeup later

Congrats! Looking forward to the report!

Maybe this will shame him into getting busy. Hopefully he can best this



The rifle is the new Luxus break open single shot in 30-06. I was getting 1 1/2" three shot groups at 200 yards with Black Hills 168 gr A-Max ammo.















My trip ran concurrent with Brett's. I saw him at the Anchorage airport the day we both arrived home and am looking forward to sitting down with him and discussing our trips as we hunted from different camps.
Needless to say my trip worked out great. We hunted from horseback between 10 and 12 thousand feet. We were only after Ibex but across the valley, in the more rolling terrain, we saw quite a few Marco Polo sheep.

Awesome photos Phil and a beautiful Ibex!!!!

Brett,
What brand of beer did you have at Anchorage?
When you flew into SLC, did you have a clear view of the Great Salt lake or see any other neat sights during your layover?
Thats too bad about Holland and Holland being closed when you were in New York (JFK). Did you just show up and they were closed or did you call first?

No time for H&H this trip. I did have a previous trip where I planned a visit by looking at their hours. The ONE day I was available they closed early.........beer a plenty in Anchorage.......yes on the lake.

Brett
