more photos (moose hunting trip)

Just thought I'd post some more pics. Gerald and George can climb trees like bear cubs, and they're not bad shots with a pistol either.

Sept. 9th / Moose hunt

We had a great hunt in Kaiyuh. "We" is Miles "Milo" Stickman, George "Jew-Jew" Agnes, Gerald "Pluto" Patsy and me. What a cool trip. We camped at my usual spot on the slough between Niminhdaaldlo Hu and Humphrey's camp, above "Rabbit Creek" (Gguh Ts'agheelinh Dinh).

The weather was nice; just a few sprinkles now and then, not too cold, not too hot, and no bugs (Nulato is still a gnat farm). We saw lots of people at JP's cabin, Jordan, Vern Jr. and Jr. Alexie, some boys from Kaltag and I forget who else. We got there on Saturday, so there were a lot of people out hunting; by Sunday night most everyone had left.

Milo shot our moose (his first kill) around Taameel Teeloyeet, going down toward Doughnut Island. Milo's quite the gunner; one shot and it dropped, stone dead. We got the moose Sunday night and came back on Monday.

These were some good guys to camp with. Milo, like I said, is a dead-eye shooter and tough meat packer; Gerald is a funny, entertaining guy that can suck up candy like a shop-vac; and George is an all around good guy to have in camp. A quick learner too.

We all had a great time. Thanks to the Tribe for allowing us to use the SAR boat. Another trip is planned later; around the 14th. More about that when it happens.

Hope you like the pics.
