That one at the very end of the video, you know, the one with the little tiny paddles, he might even go 50". What do you think Steve? :)

Was thinking 40s,, that ATX 95mm just makes things look larger. :)

That's some great video footage you got there buddy. Are you gonna make the long boat ride this year?

Once on a flooding river a year is enough for me. Had a 3 foot rise in 6 hours, on an already high river. Epic flash, lucky we had the raft tied off.

Hey Steve, did you use the Extreme Weather in '06? Impressive headgear.

That bull haunts my dreams now. Dual mid-high 60s bulls. Ugh.

Great camp, great partner. Flash flood, river debri, 25+ air mile push in one day.

Still had a killer time.

Some awesome footage there Steve for sure!!! Looks like a heck of a trip. After seeing 20+ bulls this past week and only one being over 50" nice to see what big bulls look like again. ;)

Know THAT feeling. We did came out with two over 50" this year, but spent all day every day chasing "almost 50" bulls. Kept the interest level high, but sometimes you just want to see a no-doubt king of the hill.

My hunting partner and I both filled our moose tags (Alaska) this September. It was his first moose so he was pretty excited. I called his moose in from probably over 1 mile away and from our elevated perch we got to watch him walk to us the entire distance. Lot's of anticipation for my buddy watching the bull come all that way! I got my bull the next evening. Nothing like the bulls in post #26, but myself and the folks I shared the meat with will eat well for a year.

I've basically hunted every day since September 3rd in the FMA up here in Fairbanks... Lots of cows, have only see a few bulls and each time something has happened to ruin my chance at getting a shot. Headed out in the morning for a river trip, hopefully this weekend something good will happen!
