My daughter got sucked into the blogosphere at The annual SCI show and hopefully a view of guiding in Alaska through the eyes of a woman guide/ outfitter will be of interest https://ronspomeroutdoors.com/blog/wilderness-woman-tia-shoemaker/

Ya done good Phil!
I'd volunteer to be your kid if you gave me a 99 like that one.

Thanks for sharing Phil - I think you raised a good egg there.
"Women are all over the hunting world these days. Most are deadly serious and effective. A few seem more interested in self exposure than hunting. Tia Shoemaker is not one of those."
So, on the "women more interested in self-exposure thing", is Mia guiding Tiffany Lakosky? She's one of those TV show types (The Crush w/ Lee and Tiffany) who (along with her hubby) drew a DG-478 goat tag on the Kodiak road system.

Tia is substitute teaching here on Kodiak today and has a couple of Kodiak outfitters wanting her to guide here for bear this spring as she is registered for unit 8 also. But the dates are pretty tight with our season on the peninsula
And her 99 takedown is a 300 , with the additional 410 bbl.
I am sure she will be discussing her 416 in a later blog.

That is cool.
You must be a proud dad!
Look forward to reading/watching her adventures!
And hey-- she will probably be intimidating to some hunters--

What a remarkable young women and I envy her growing up where she did. Many safe and adventurous years I pray for her and your family. You’ve done well Sir!

Just outstanding. In the guiding community Shoemaker is pretty well accepted as the real deal. That he raised a lass of similar timber comes as no surprise, but it sure makes me happy
I'm pretty certain when we sing our anthem and mention the land of the free, the original intent didn't mean cell phones, food stamps and birth control.

A young lady to be proud of. Shares a strong resemblance to her momma in the bush plane pic.

I suspect the Apple did not fall far from the tree. Sounds like an interesting young lady. Well done Sir.

the only real difference between a good tracker and a bad tracker, is observation. all the same data is present for both. The rest, is understanding what you're seeing.
