Title: Weekend bird hunt (pics)
Post by: Tikaani on October 17, 2010, 06:09:07 PM
Left early friday morning to bird hunt for the weekend, but since I did not take a single picture of any of the birds I will post what pictures I took here.  Got four birds, not a good weekend but everything else made for a great trip, enjoyed the peace and quiet.  Hope you enjoy the pictures.

I snuck up to less than thirty yards of this one, a very nice caribou to be sure, he will live to see another day.

A Yeti, or as my wife more commonly refers to it, an ass.

Great pictures, but it looks like it is starting to get cold there.  Maybe not cold for Alaska, but it looks cold to me.

Trying to put some of that into words is impossible. It all speaks for itself far better than I could. Glad you had a good time John.  :highclap:

America the Beautiful.  All fifty states are unique and beautiful in their own special way, can't imagine living anywhere else. 

THANK YOU for the pictures John, I really appreciated them.

Beautiful shots of some really big country.  Especially like the ones of the bull you stalked up on.

Nice pictures of some beautiful country! One of these days I'll need to venture up to our most Northern state to at least sight see.

What birds were you hunting? I'm assuming ptarmigan or perhaps grouse??  :confused:

I missed this, but I'm glad I found it. :congrats: I'll never get tired of pics from that place.

By the way, isnt the Yeti on the endangered list?
