| Camp |
Yesterday I returned from a fly out, alpine deer hunt with Lisa and Gregg. Basically we chartered a plane and flew to an alpine lake for a camping trip. Today I was telling someone about the trip and they related that they 'had never gone on a hunting trip before'. I tried to explain that the alpine hunt was not so much of a hunting as a camping trip. Hunting is just a glorious excuse to go camping and to hike in the alpine.
And it is true.
The 'hunting' aspect just gets you up early in the morning and gets you up into the alpine looking for deer. And because we are hunting it intensifies how closely we examine the landscape - we are looking for deer after all. The hunting makes it primal but in the end the part that I enjoy most is simply camping in an awesome place in August. Up in Kodiak's gorgeous alpine.
All that said, catching a deer or two is good too.
