Back from the Ayakulik




Today Dicky, Ray, Paul and I got back from our hunting trip on the Ayakulik. Lots of stories to tell and pictures to post. Too much for one post, and I'm too tired to write a lot anyway. So I thought I'd whet your appetite with just a few photos that seem to sum up the trip pretty well. Bears, Floatplanes, and Glorious Hiking. The views while hiking were glorious and we had superb weather. Lots of deer too, but no reindeer.

Photos: Dicky shows off some big bear tracks in the trail. Bear tracks were pretty much ubiquitous, and bears everywhere. We saw maybe 10 bears a day. The middle photo is of Dicky examining the landscape while we scanned for deer from a mountain ridge. Great ridge walking and very little brush to contend with down on the south end. Bottom photo is of Rolan coming in to pick up deer meat halfway through our hunt. We had too much deer to take it all back with us on one trip. Patrick
