All of the cloud cover and rain kept temperatures above freezing, so the black flies were bad at times.
....... But Alaska has a way of causing a simile. Thanks for the interst guys. Good luck to all this fall season.

Gee whiz Mike, you must have been in sub tropical AK...probably just cruising around those lakes with the fancy bikini model from your raft advertisement.
I was wiping this mess off me every couple hours a bit north of you
Glad you are back and recharged. I'm still worn out!

Bears can attack people- although fewer people have been killed by bears than in all WWI and WWII combined.

Ah yes Steve. Alaska is such a big state and vastly different weather based on which side of the mountains, elevation etc etc. I was done with my hunt about the time you guys were just getting started. I would take colder weather over the bugs any day. Ha! Can't tell you how many bugs I sucked in during the climb trying to get enough air. Ha!
Those rafts and boats up there always seem to be cold and wet. Glad you are home safe.

Another great adventure Mike, thanks for sharing. 15 days alone would be the toughest part for most of us. Next would be judging a legal bull; do I see 4 brow tines on the left side of that first bull? If so, wouldn't that make him legal?

Thanks Mike for sharing....one of the most memorable hunts of my life was in the Interior just above the Yukon. Solo hunt also, didn't kill anything but I can remember it like it was yesterday, and it was 33 years ago. Alaska is a very unique place.
