I thought you guys might enjoy seeing some pictures from my hunt in the Wrangell Mountains in August 2002. I took my youngest son, Brett, who at the time was 11. I can't believe how much he has grown and matured since then. Man time flies. I didn't shoot a Dall on this trip, got close to a beauty but couldn't close the ~600-yard distance before they spooked. But most importantly we had a wonderful time in some of, if not the most beautiful country that I have ever been in. I have tons more film pict's of spike camps, berry patches, far-off sheep, etc. Please forgive the quality and sizing of these pictures - they were pre-digital and I had scanned them back in 02. And, it rained 12 out of 15 days!!!

Bill, What a wonderful way to spend time with your son and introduce him to the great outdoors. Bretts smile is more captivating than the animals or the scenery. Woody | |||

Bill C ----- Great pictures of a great hunting trip for you and Brett. Reminds me of my Moose hunt in the Farewell Burn in 1999 and a Brown Bear hunt around Cold Bay a while ago. I am sure Brett will go back someday and keep up the tradition.  Good shooting.phurley | |||

That is why I live about 75 miles away from the wrangells as the raven flies. By the way it is the largest park on earth. What a playground. where's Bill | |||

Neat trip Bill, especially when shared with your son! What a difference time has made in that young man, in the elephant hunt pictures, he looks almost grown-up! Where does the time go? On the plains of hesitation lie the bleached bones of ten thousand, who on the dawn of victory lay down their weary heads resting, and there resting, died. If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue, Or walk with Kings - nor lose the common touch... Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it, And - which is more - you'll be a Man, my son! - Rudyard Kipling Life grows grim without senseless indulgence. | |||
