May 2009: SOLO Alaskan Brown Bear

[juneauhunt]

On many occasions I have been asked about my moniker and I explain that I chose it after a brief e-mail to Steve maybe 8 or 10 years ago. I had so enjoyed one of his articles in TBM that I contacted him (he wouldn't remember) to tell him so and to inquire about his bows. He explained that he was just getting ready to move to Alaska to work and enjoy the bountiful hunting opportunities. His parting comment was that I should try to get up there one day to hunt, and so my moniker was born. I never met him and likely never will, but his story has come full circle in my mind and I always perk up when he is mentioned. This is the stuff dreams are made of.

Congrats and thank you for sharing.

Wouldn't remember?!  Actually I do but many things I don't since my mother cooked with aluminum.

I think I'm slated to do a presentation on brown bear hunting at the next PBS gathering in Nashville in March 2010 so who ever shows will get the full set of photos and tales!
