This was a bit of a harrowing experience, 10 minutes after hopping off the boat to begin our Blacktail hunt in Alaska, this sow brown bear with two cubs caught out wind.

Instead of running away like most would, she came towards us. This led to one of the more tense encounters of my hunting career.

If you have ever shared camp with me, you know I love a good game of gin rummy during some downtime. This deck of cards has seen some wild places.

Killing some time during the heat of the day before opening morning for Blacktail

Also the Grizzly Gaiter works as a splendid makeshift card table

The day before the hunt we were able to get into some incredible fishing and I was fortunate to pull up these two awesome yellow eye!

These fish have a swim bladder that they use to maintain specific buoyancy at deep depths. Think like ballast on a submarine

Yellow eye rockfish can live to be 150 years old. Our captain estimated this fish was 50+ years old. Crazy to catch a fish and realize it’s been alive longer than you!

Feesh. 🐟

Do you shoot groups first and then move on to distance shooting or do you start your range day with a long distance cold bore shot? 🤔

Sometimes you make a video for the day job that’s a bit spicy, so you can’t post it officially.

But sometimes the video is so good it has to make it to the internet in an unofficial capacity.

Pro tip: if you’re gonna go to Alaska and chase caribou, bring a bit of instant mashed potatoes, a splash of bourbon, and a guy who can cook all fancy like.
Add a splash of fresh pickle blueberries and freshly picked caribou backstrap and you’re golden pony boy.
