    They put a fake skull in the rug. Although i am calling it a rug in actual fact i will get it put on the wall when it gets here. I am getting the actual skull boiled and bleached and it will be sent home with the skin.

    Great read. Sounds like a great adventure.

    Cheers

    Awesome trip!!! The frigid scenery doesn't exactly make me long for home but I'm pretty keen to head to Labrador when I get back for a Caribou hunt.

    Right here are a few.
    The "Mighty Mou" at Pearl Habour was awesome!


    Jet boat from Talkeetna was fun.


    Anchorage Zoo was cool. I think this ones name was "Jake"

    We were fansinated by the wolfs


    Swans at Anchorage. Some of the tourists on our bus were worried that the "little swans" weren't big enough for the flight south. They were informed the "little swans" they were pointing at were in fact ducks...


    The wildlife conservation center was great even though it rained the whole time!
    Elk

    Eagle


    We did a glacier cruise in Prince William Sound. Some pretty neat scenery.


    We took the train north to Talkeetna again.


    Where we found some fantastic weather.

    Alaska is a beautiful place. I must have built in bear repellent though, I have been to so many places in North America (not hunting) where I have been warned about bears having been in the camping area in the last 24 hours and I have never laid eyes on one yet. Mind you there is a wee part of me that is happy with that.
    It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
    Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms

    Cool write up and absolutely love the pics.
    RULE 4: IDENTIFY YOUR TARGET BEYOND ALL DOUBT


    To be a Human is to be an Alien, ask the animals, We invade this world and we are killing it, we are destroying the earth and nobody gives a fuck except for the animals

    Awesome trip report, your photos are stunning.
    I spent Christmas in Alaska a couple of years ago and it is still one of my favourite places out of everywhere I've been.
    I would love to return one day when it is colourful (as opposed to frozen solid) and go for a hunt.
