First report from AK

My phone just rang . It was the outfitter for my upcoming hunt . He wanted me to come early.
My guides first hunter was done at 12:05AM. He got a great ram quickly . I may go up early.

Go get a 40"er, Larry.. Long and heavy and old!

I am quite envious of this trip of yours!

When are you flying in? Do you have time to kill in Anchorage? I'll take you to a local watering hole if you do.

I am now going to leave Friday afternoon instead of Tuesday of the following week. It is hard to concentrate.

Larry,

A call for early arrival...that has to be a good omen. You have well prepared yourself physically and mentally...get yourself on the plane and go kill a monster. Have a safe, smooth and challenging hunt. We will be looking forward to your report and photos on return. Good luck,

Paul

Where are you staying? I'm 100 miles north of the big city, between Willow and Talkeetna.

I think it is a Hampton Inn right by the airport. I will check. The entire schedule has changed when they moved my dates up.. I land after midnight and have a 1 pm flight to Coldfoot.
