Got back this week from my black bear hunt out of witter AK, seen lots of cool stuff. Caught some fish, (halibutt, rockfish, flounder) more shrimp than we could possible eat...... And did end up getting a black bear!!! Wasn't a huge one, but sure was fun!!!

Congrats on the good hunt opti. I think the family grilling and singing songs would have made me barf on my shoes, but the rest of the trip sounds pretty sweet. I hope to see Alaska someday. That picture of the shrimp is incredible.

Lets just say $200.00 worth of beer for 5 guys ( and I only had a 12 pack) should last more than 5 days.......

ohhh Yaaa I forgot about the 2 bootles of rum and the whisky
