I find I am notching fewer tags myself these days, the bigger priority is on getting our daughter Molly out on trips and helping other people do more of the tag filling. I can't complain as I still logged around 70 days in the field for 2018, our freezers are full, and we have done nearly all of it as a family. Overall I managed to tag along (with a toddler) on successful black bear, deer, moose and mountain goat trips in 2018.

Molly pushed a dump truck around on the spring black bear hunt because she wasn't walking yet and it kept her from crawling in the mud. The bears in the background were harvested by our friend's kiddos (age 8 and 9)


An unsuccessful (but super fun) summer backpack hunt for interior grizzly



Our annual trip to Kodiak for Blacktail deer

Looks peaceful:)

Molly is growing up fast. She looks like a mini @luke moffat

It’s true! She’s already way tougher than me, and loves to be “OUTSIDE”. Excited for adventures with her in 2019. She will make her 3rd trip to kodiak (well, besides the 2 trips while I was pregnant) when we go chase brown bears in May.

Robby, was that 2018? Did you do a write up on that hunt?
Yes, 2018. The story is on Avery Adventures podcast. Can't remember the title but he released it in November '18 or so, recorded from our deer camp; I'll also be using that buck as one of my anecdotes for the EXPO seminar, and a few other bucks.
