    Default The North

    I don't post kill pics much any more but this hunt was just too good not to share. I started making and tracking goal list 12 years ago, it was mostly work related, but the first thing i ever wrote on it was two words, Yukon Hunt. Still not sure how to put this into words, my trip of a lifetime was just that.

    Killed my moose on day 3. Saw several other bulls in the 50-55" range but ended up taking a great 10+ year old one that had every cow in the valley pushed up in a drainage all by himself. 9 hours later we were hanging meat back in base camp.

    The next 2 days we chased sheep but had to cut that short as the late season ice/snow covered rocks were just way too dangerous to stay up top, guide had to call it.

    For the next 5 days we chased grizzly. Saw a grown one on day 7 but there way no catching up. Morning of day 8 we called in a pack of wolves on the landing strip before headed out. I had everything preranged and though he was at 500. Needless to say I missed when I figured him to be at 500 and he was at 430. There was no time to get a range on him, those things can move.
    On the last day we were supposed to headed back to basecamp by 11. Around 11 we spotted a huge grizzly, he bedded and we got around on him with the right wind a set up. I laid there for over 2 hours watching him roll around in his bed through the scope, couldn’t get a clean shot so we just waited. All he had to do was get up and it was game over. Just wasn’t meant to be, somehow, best we can figure, is he rolled over behind the tree he was under and snuck out without 3 people noticing it.

    The Yukon is by far the most amazing, tough and wild country I’ve ever step foot in and will definitely be back.

    That’s awesome, congrats on the moose.
    Yeah, but do you consider a dog to be a filthy animal? I wouldn't go so far as to call a dog filthy but they're definitely dirty. But, a dog's got personality. Personality goes a long way.

    What an awesome experience. Beautiful wilderness.
    I'm going to heaven for the weather and hell for the company.

    Be dangerous, unpredictable, and make a whole lot of noise.

    I’m jealous. I’ve been walking all over north east Canada and haven’t seen anything but a cow moose. Send some of your vibes this way.

    Yukon is definitely on the list.

    That’s pretty badass Ty.
    Be proactive about improving public waterfowl habitat in South Carolina. It's not going to happen by itself, and our help is needed. We have the potential to winter thousands of waterfowl on public grounds if we fight for it.
