 | Amber and NonTyp, a great first buck!
|
Another cloudy, windy and snowy day was in store, and we made good use of our camp time by skinning the fox and a recently acquired harlequin duck, one of my very favorites, shot from the beach. By 2:30 cabin fever had gotten the best of us, and we hiked up behind camp to look around, which wasn`t easy with snow flurries obscuring the visibility and over 6 inches of snow covering the uneven terrain. But I did spot a doe above us attended by a buck that Jake recognized from his previous bear hunt, and we climbed to a hill opposite, where Amber made a great shot in a strong crosswind to tag her first Kodiak buck. He was a beauty, with a wide and high dark rack, and Jake skinned him for a lifesize mount.
