It will likely all melt by the time you get there. In my experience up there this early in the season it may snow for a day or two, but in another day or two it's all gone. Brett DRSS Life Member SCI Life Member NRA Life Member WSF Rhyme of the Sheep Hunter May fordings never be too deep, And alders not too thick; May rock slides never be too steep And ridges not too slick. And may your bullets shoot as swell As Fred Bear's arrow's flew; And may your nose work just as well As Jack O'Connor's too. May winds be never at your tail When stalking down the steep; May bears be never on your trail When packing out your sheep. May the hundred pounds upon you Not make you break or trip; And may the plane in which you flew Await you at the strip. -Seth Peterson | |||

Thanks all. In Seattle now. Should be in Alaska around 2. Carried a backpack of sorts for the first time since the injury. It is my carry on and it is 100% on my shoulders. While I can feel it, it is not a problem. I am optimistic. I have spent most of the trip thus far thinking of ways to lower the weight in my pack. I can come up with a few ounces here and there. Maybe a pound at best. | |||

Still taking the one pound pancho? If you want to ditch anything before the trip I will hold onto it for you and get it back to you.

Saw Larry last night. He looked ready to go. Wish him the best of luck and safety. Our weather sucks right now. After listening to his guide's accent I though he might be on a Banteng hunt.

A finer man and/or group never existed. Great night out gossiping all the secrets of AR embers who were not there. I could write a book. Seriously, a great time with great folks: Doc Brent, Mr and Mrs Wojo, Pete and his New York accent, Larry--and what a fine host he is, and little old me, Cal. _______________________________ Cal Pappas, Willow, Alaska www.CalPappas.com www.CalPappas.blogspot.com 1994 Zimbabwe 1997 Zimbabwe 1998 Zimbabwe 1999 Zimbabwe 1999 Namibia, Botswana, Zambia--vacation 2000 Australia 2002 South Africa 2003 South Africa 2003 Zimbabwe 2005 South Africa 2005 Zimbabwe 2006 Tanzania 2006 Zimbabwe--vacation 2007 Zimbabwe--vacation 2008 Zimbabwe 2012 Australia 2013 South Africa 2013 Zimbabwe 2013 Australia 2016 Zimbabwe 2017 Zimbabwe 2018 South Africa 2018 Zimbabwe--vacation 2019 South Africa 2019 Botswana 2019 Zimbabwe vacation 2021 South Africa 2021 South Africa (2nd hunt a month later) ______________________________ | |||

Hope your weather up north is better than the unbelievable wind and rain we're having here in Anchortown. Best of luck, hope you connect. Dave | |||

Good news. Congrats. xxxxxxxxxx When considering US based operations of guides/outfitters, check and see if they are NRA members. If not, why support someone who doesn't support us? Consider spending your money elsewhere. NEVER, EVER book a hunt with BLAIR WORLDWIDE HUNTING or JEFF BLAIR. I have come to understand that in hunting, the goal is not the goal but the process. | |||

You know what they say? "It didn't happen without pics" Huge congratulations on a job well done! Now, where are the damn pics????? and story??? Zeke | |||

I just got to Deadhorse about 11 last night. Packing now. Flying to Anchorage then home tonight. I will start working on the report on the plane. I will probably have to wait until I get home to post pics as photobucket on my phone is having issues. In addition , most of the pics and the best pics are on the guides camera, a fairly large professional camera. I should have those in about 3 weeks. I have a few on my phone and a few on my camera until then. I will say it was both fantastic and horrible (weather). Nothing like spending 3.5 days in a one man tent while fogged in and raining outside . | |||

| One of Us |
Glad you had a successful hunt and those days in the tent just make it better when it happens. Safe travels. Don Trust only those who stand to lose as much as you do when things go wrong. | |||
|
| One of Us |
Did you shoot it or just run it to the ground and stab it, as good of shape as you were in!!!!! | |||
|
| One of Us |
That only happens in Alaska, never happens in Canada? | |||

There is a pic on Facebook. Congrats LARRY. | |||
