Plane Crash in Alaska
This past week there was a terrible accident that took place in Anchorage, and unfortunately the people that were on board the plane were close friends, and it is a sad story that I am about to share, but it is one of hope, and a call for prayer for this family in need.

In Pursuit of Giants, Part 1
The feeling of finally stretching the tight muscles that had formed from four hours inside the confined space of the plane was one of mild euphoria, but it was nothing compared to the feeling of being back at the bear camp, heading out to pursue giants. And by giants I mean brown bears. There is [...]

First Guided Hunt in Alaska
The Sun beat down upon our already sweaty backs, causing our minds to wander to thoughts of cold drinks and rest under the shade. However those thoughts would have to remain only that, for we were on the trail of the canny and keen eyed Dall Ram. It was opening morning of the 2005 sheep [...]
