| Lindsey and her sheep |
For the past week I have been on the mainland (off island) helping out with a sheep hunt. Generally I stick close to home and only hunt on Kodiak so it was kind of nice to expand my horizons and explore a totally different place. The interior of Alaska is beautiful!
We did a LOT of hiking and survived some seriously wet weather. The wood stove sure came in handy!
On the sheep end of things, we scouted and explored and only saw 3 sheep. But luckily enough the first one we saw was full curl and hence legal to harvest. Lindsey and Brooks did a text book stalk and Lindsey made the shot. We had our sheep!
And then came the hike out. .. ..

I think my favorite photo is of Brooks stuffing twigs in the stove. Candid hunting trip moment. What an epic hunt you guys.
