Alaska Trip

Beautiful Scenery! This was a glacier that was at the top of mountain!

Well let me tell everyone, Pat and I just got back from Alaska where we went Dall Sheep and Grizzly Bear Hunting at Pioneer Outfitters and we had an AWESOME time! We horseback rode 6 hours where we set up our spike camp to get ready for the trip! Unfortunately we didn't end up shooting any animals while we were there, but it definitely wasn't from lack of effort! We came close to a 7 foot grizzly bear that I was chasing but no such luck, he kept going the OTHER way, not the way we wanted! We also got close to a HUGE Dall Sheep after climbing up a huge mountain with the snow blowing sideways standing broadside at 200 yards and Pat shot right over his back, but I guess that's HUNTING! The trip and terrain definitely tested our endurance but we loved every minute of it! Our guides Spence and Levi were unbelievable! Thanks again everyone at Pioneer Outfitters, we had an awesome time and like we said, WE WILL BE BACK!!
