Thanks all. I enjoy trying to get the story of the adventure aspect of these hunts down on paper.
And Woodpecker, thanks for kind words. It really is more meaningful to me to do this myself than to pay for a guide. While a guide might be a better use of my time, I’ve got the equipment and ability to do things like this without their help. This is about the hunt for me, and someone else doing the hunting and prep work might take some of that away from me. This is essentially a once in a lifetime hunt and I wanted to do it from beginning to end.

Getting this done solo was hard, but more rewarding that way.
