09 Yukon River Trip

Got back from my vacation thursday evening.

There is a saying around here; "The best way to ruin a moose hunt is to shoot one!"

So in that respect we had a good hunt.

Put on 270 miles to and from the river and 550 river miles in the boat, and didn't see a damm thing in 10 days! :angry:

I would have been better off hunting in my back yard. :(

The boat worked very well this year and we really had no problem at all. (besides the lack of moose)

A friend of mine was not so fortunate and he will be greatly missed. http://www.newsminer.com/news/2009/sep/22/cause-boat-sinking-remains-mystery/

It felt really strange passing his empty campsite.

Tony talked alot about your stompimg grounds and 10 days hunting there would be something. Too bad about no moose. I hear they are good eating. Sorry to hear about your friend. Must've been hell for everyone involved and watching.

Wishing you better luck next hunt! Even though you didn't see one your one lucky human being in my book. To hunt in Alaska would be a once in a lifetime chance for alot of us.

Glad the your trip was safe and a good time even thought no meat.

Hopefully you can fill the freezer with some other critters!

 

Will you be posting any pics of your outing?

I have to hunt vicariously right not..........
