Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Alaska Alaska Pics.

This one looks familiar Ropes

The big Rainbows were on the "spring swing". Steelies were dead drifting. Grayling were all on top, that was one of my favorite trips in AK. We landed none under 18" the three days we fished, with the largest at 23". Beautiful fish.

Can you get a float plane in there?

No float planes in that one ......

sorta figured that, but the scale is tough to determine from the photo.

You can get one in there, it's flying out that may be the problem.

Yea 358Norma you got that figured out. I don't believe that a twin jet Otter would even make it out of that one.

Maybe a stripped out 180hp cub with a good headwind. I've seen them take off at Merrill Field and Lake Hood like a chopper. Damn near verticle with a strong enough headwind. I'll pass on that ride.

That's a great image. Love the dog and the bear in the same picture.

She is a good dog, if she had balls they would be BIG!

I've just spent a couple of hours sitting here looking at these pics and I have to say you guys are really lucky.
We plan on getting there some day and the more I look at pics like the ones on this thread the more I want that some day to be today.

New Zealand is beautiful but for scenery, wild life and outdoor fun you guys have us beat.

Makes my recent 2 wk vacation in SE AK pale.....WOW. Thanks to all for the posts.

Scott, how long were you there?

Float hunt north of the Brooks Range.




A view of the Alaska Range before heading into moose camp.

These were all taken out on the Western end of the Seward Peninsula.

Saved the best for last.

Bump this one back to the top and keep it alive.

The reason my son could not go sheep hunting with me. Within a week of my finding out I drew a sheep tag in April, he was offered an 8-day gig working with the Tracy/Endicott USFS Park Ranger. I did not try to sway his decision (too much). Since this was a volunteer job with no pay, I figured it would look pretty good on his resume (and his photo collection!)

He got to do quite a bit of kayak paddling. I think they spent 2 days up Tracy Arm and 3 days up Endicott Arm. All the big cruise ships have to go up Tracy, while the smaller boats have Endicott to themselves.



Camping up near Hawes Glacier





Glacier Pix. The face on this glacier was 300 feet high. Said they had some spetacular calving action. While they weren't in the kayaks, there were several 8-10 calving waves. One washed away some stuff they had drug up the shoreline.





A cool goat skull they found. In addition, they found a rememberance monument left to a goat guide who died in the area.



A 3 foot squid they found washed up. Must have had a taste for shrimp, I suppose
