Returned From KODIAK! ( PICTURE HEAVY)

[TURKEYFOOTGIRL]

Well im not officially back. Still on the island doing a bit of fishing before heading home. Will be adding a bunch of pictures as i get them downloaded from my camera. The trip was a great success and overall good time. Even though we had 7 days of rain and a small river running right through the tipi by day 5.

Would love to get one of those on a rod and reel. Must be a real hoot. Good eating I would imagine.
Have to ask though. What's with the handle TURKEYFOOTGIRL? Being old I'm probably missing something.

Man, I want to go up there and catch a few of those giant flounders!!!!

In for the rest of the story!

Haha years ago my wife signed up on her computer so we could buy some stuff on the St Judes auction. Being technically challenged i just always used that initial log in. If names could be changed i would!!

So after months of packing we were finally headed down to Andrews airways to jump in a beaver and fly off to a backcountry lake. The excitement was high and the forecast said 7 days of sun.....

Yep bunch of fishing!
Sorry gang just got back home and downloaded pics so we can get this story rolling! On July 31st we flew in to a high mountain lake and jumped out of the plane. We were immediately met with some lovely rain. The rain that was supposed to be nonexistent.for 7 days was just starting. 7 days later we had only seen a few hours of nice weather! We quickly tarped our geat then setup the cooktent and then the tipi we would stay in. The rest  of the day was spent setting up camp and preparing our meat cache.

The next morning was opening day and wegot our gear put together and ready. My buddy was hunting with wheels so you wont hear much of his tale.  After a quick breakfast we decided to split up and explore some country. We had seen plenty of deer on the way in but the fog and rain would make it tough. I went about a half mile to a point and started glassing. After about 5 minutes i saw a nice buck a few hundred yards below me. I quickly dropped into a crick bottom and skirted past the buck to get the wind right. As i was closing the distance to where the buck should be i saw my partner come over a hill 50 yards below me stalking the same buck! We split up on the stalk and he got yhe shot but yhe buck jumped the string. It was all good though as several hours later i got to stalk the same buck. It eas certainly not my best shooting ever but i managed to tag him on opening day. He ended up dying in a super scenic spot for some photos!!

The rest of the day was spent packing and taking care of meat. When we got back we fired up the wood stove and cracked a cold one to celebrate.
