Randy,

All great hunts are about the hunting experiences, not the killing of animals. I have hunted in that kind of country before, and from your pictures it is obvious that you had amazing experiences that added great richness to your life and the memories of being in wild places and chasing wild beasts. Congratulations on your successes that all the rest of us wish we could have also experienced. Those pictures are the best trophies you could bring home, and everyone gets to enjoy those! Thanks.

:thumbsup:  Those pic's were outstanding. Its great to shoot an animal of course but we can easily have a blast as you did without shooting one.

Great story and pictures Randy!  They really made me long for another trip to Alaska.  I've only done it once, and sure hope to get back there someday.
