Over in the Yukon

[Ray]

Through my personal issues with duck hunting and boat building I have become aquainted with a school teacher over in Whitehorse through a small duck boat building forum. Well, its sheep season over there and we still have a couple days here in AK. Mike has posted up two threads about local kids taking rams this year. His son took his first, and one of the tikes they know took his first big game ever. Note the gear these kids are using.

Mike's son Mac has been moving towards a career in guiding, and having family friends in the business has him on the right track.

Dang, no pictures for non-members. Good for the youth though.

I little over a week ago I got to drink coffee with a Yukon outfitter just north of Dawson who was gearing up for those early August hunts. Some awesome and lonely country they get to hunt over there, and it sounded like it sees very very little resident pressure. Glad to see a few locals putting their privileges to good use. Those kids did very well indeed.

Great job, I love seeing kids enjoy hunting and having success.

Man I need to move up there. Been trying to convince my wife, but she says she just can't do the dark winters. I say it is just the same since I go to, and come home from work in the dark anyways.... Maybe one day before I get too old...
