My little brother, who seems to have more luck than the guy that won the lottery twice recently sent me this pic. Hes a resident of POW and drew a coveted Nuniveck(sic) musk ox tag on the first try.

He did a solo hunt for 10 days and shot this bull 2.5 miles from camp. He made five trips to haul the meat out, then went back and got the LIFESIZED hide and skull. Yep he walked over 25 miles with a musk ox on his back.

No score yet, but we know it went over B&C minimum.

(who will be mounting the piece, but would have loved to shoot it)

Cool. I've got to do a musk ox hunt one day just for the adventure of it! Tell little bro' congrats.


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.
