This year marked Ron's 11th season moose hunting here in Dillingham. It also marked the first year he went on his yearly meat shopping trip and came up empty! Aw, man!!
However, he did get a bear...by necessity, not by design. When the bear spotted him, she paused and then decided on the direct route...straight at him. Exciting, but he says he could live a long time without that kind of excitement again!
Thanks to friends we have moose in the freezer to carry us through to the winter hunt. This is especially appreciated by our children who were horrified at the thought of having to eat beef. :)
I will ask Ron to relate details of the bear "hunt". For now I hope this picture will suffice!
