Steve, Nuiqsut is in the middle of the Colville River delta just about 9 or 10 miles south of the Arctic Ocean coast.

We'll get back to that solo brown bear hunt soon.

My wife decided she needed to have her gallbladder removed today so were over in Soldotna.  Guess there is nothing better to do on a beautiful spring day in Alaska!

Man!  Please wish your wife well for all of us Steve.  That gall bladder surgery is no picnic.  I hope she's up and around very quickly.

Steve, congtaulations on the Muskox.
Thanks for sharing the details. I received some of the pictures a couple months back but you left me hanging with the lack of details.
The broadhead used, regardless of how sharp, is nowhere as important as being able to place it in the correct spot.

Still at the hospital in Soldotna, I can occassionally borrow a computer.  I'm hopeful we'll go home today.  Walt, make sure you see the next round since you've been close by!

Hope your most recent hunt turned out better them mine, I still get depressed every time I remember/visualize that arrow dropping under the big guys’ chest.

Back home in Moose Pass and all is well.  Maybe we can start the bear thing tomorrow.  Been thinking about how to do the presentation since it really was a multi-year event.  

Walt I went into S-cove (I believe that is where you mmmmm-you know.....was still very wintery there and lots of snow.
