Should ya, Would ya, Could ya - Bear Den
Reminds me of an encounter I had many springs ago while I was out looking for elk sheds. I was hiking around with my dog when I spotted this sow out feeding in a big open south facing bowl. I sat down about 100 yards away and watched her for awhile. Eventually she spotted my dog and ran off...- theat

Gravy Train Through High Cotton
Hunter. Although, he did almost become a cloud of red mist when a semi came zipping around the corner just after I took this pic. Right after that, he almost turned a speeding little compact car into a tangled heap of metal.- theat

Gravy Train Through High Cotton
What a change of pace from my usual unlimited sheep hunts. Feels strange to go from spending day after day behind glass just hoping to see a ram, to shifting the scope from big ram to big ram to try to find one a few inches bigger than the rest. Some pics from the big day These are of the now...- theat

Gravy Train Through High Cotton
Back in December of 2016 I had the very cold privilege of being a part of a capture, test, and collar project on this sheep herd. We caught 30 sheep over a very cold day and a half. Since Gerald drew this tag, I pulled up my old GoPro footage from that project and put together a video for the...- theat

Prove me wrong: Map data collection
I have a couple friends that hunt with guys that work for OnX. Those OnX employees must be looking at the wrong guys waypoints since they seem to struggle in the successful hunting department. I would imagine that the owners of these companies would be pretty pissed if it became public that an...- theat

Prescribed Burn Arrest
I spent a few years working in wildland fire and know quite a few people still in the business both in private and government positions. Lots of talk about crews/resources refusing to take assignments in eastern Oregon or anywhere where they think a similar situation may occur. During bad fire...- theat

Go North, young man (or not so young man)
Im glad you guys are enjoying the pics and story. I usually don't share a lot of what I do, but thought that this trip really deserved it. One of the things that I really enjoy in the off season is spending time researching trips around the west that can be done diy and relatively cheap, but... -

Go North, young man (or not so young man)
Yes, the last third of the trip took place on regular old BLM and AK state lands where picking up deadheads and sheds is legal. Had to bring the sheep head into the AK Fish and Wildlife office to get plugged to be able to transport it out of state. Also had to get paperwork for all of them to... -

Go North, young man (or not so young man)
Our last day was mostly just hard work. We packed up everything that was left as well as the last of the second caribou and started our slog up and over the mountain to our cashe. Thankfully nothing had messed with anything at the cashe. It had been cloudy and cold the previous two... -

Go North, young man (or not so young man)
For our last full day, I floated across the river with one of the two guys that still had an unfilled tag. We saw a bunch of bulls throughout the day but they were all about 4-5 miles in the wrong direction. We made the hard decision to leave those ones be and not add a ton of work to the last... -

Go North, young man (or not so young man)
Glad you all are enjoying the pics. The next couple of days were mostly taken up with butchering the first caribou and packing it and whatever other gear we no longer needed 6 miles up and over a small mountain. The first trip was the worst since we had to hike from camp to the caribou, then... -

Go North, young man (or not so young man)
Day 8 dawned clear and partly sunny! What a nice change of pace. While packing up camp a helicopter flew right at us but banked away and landed a couple hundred yards downriver. We couldn't figure out what that was all about until we saw a couple of guys packrafting away about an hour later. Ran... -

Day 7 started like most of the rest with low level fog. It burned off just in time for a quick run back up the mountain for some more glassing. Of course, no caribou and lots of bears. Back to the river for a fairly pleasant day of floating. No caribou spotted this day, but between... -

Go North, young man (or not so young man)
Day 6 started off with fog again. By mid morning it was burning off a bit so we packed up and hit the river. We had picked this time period for the trip to hopefully avoid the bug fest that is summer in the Brooks and hopefully avoid the onset of winter. Luck was on our side and the bugs...
