The rest of the trip was a blur of horses, packing meat and staring at antler. The last morning in camp I took a short walk alone to soak up the silence and the vastness as i knew it would be a long while before i could experience real wilderness again. Before we knew, we were loading the beaver...
Fast forward two days and by this point we were racking up hours in the binos with only a few cows and some sheep to show for it. It was time to get aggressive. The day prior my guide Cody had spotted some big moose sheds in the back if the valley so we decided to take the horses for a ride...
The next few days were more of the same, bushwacking and bog, just enough rain to keep you wet, and day dreaming of a paddle in the Willows, betraying an otherwise hidden big bull moose.
When we finally arrived to the valley we planned to hunt, I could see why Cody was excited to get after it...
Day 1 of riding and we were right into bushwacking through the thick Willows. A beautiful bluebird sky day made for easy riding and it wasn't long before we spotted a chocolate black bear at the top of the ridge in front of us feeding on berries. With a bear tag in my pocket and Cody letting me...
The first day of our official hunt we awoke to every hunters dream of frost all around and clearing skies. After a five star breakfast and a few cups of coffee we began to get our gear prepped and ready. To get to our spike camps I would be heading out on Horseback for a three day haul to an...
We landed at base camp on a secluded lake with a few cabins and as we stepped out of the bush plane all the memories of watching these towering mountains on TV with dad came pouring back into my mind. To see a place you've only since dreamed of, that first breath in the Yukon mountains, is...
It wasn't long before I found Logan and Jessie Young, owners of Midnight Sun outfitting and after speaking with them a few times I knew we had found our place and the trip was booked. A long two year wait and we were finally packing to head out into the bush.
The trip started when we landed in...
As a young boy watching Dad go off into the woods, I would wait by the window dreaming of the days that I would be old enough to venture off with him. He would always come back with exhilarating stories and often have a Whitetail or turkey in tow.
Growing up in upstate New York, dad and I...
These statements have been regurgitated over and over and are completely false. Real doctors and scientists who don't get paid by big pharma and conduct their own independent research with zero influence from outside sources show that zero drinks a day is the recommended amount of alcohol to be...
It's late but I'm finally getting some sets out this coming weekend. Got some yotes, few bobcats and another nice fisher on camera. Finally got my one and only fisher back and up on the wall. Was definitely worth the wait!
