Some pictures from the boat on the elk hunt. This was the 19th annual elk hunt - that's a lot of hunts. And what makes the hunt special is that it is boat-based. Our base camp is a very comfortable and warm boat. We go ashore to hunt and rough it. But we always have a refuge to return to and the skipper Jim can pick us up wherever we have ended up on shore. And, best of all, there is beer on the boat!
For the first 8 or 9 years (through 2010) we hunted off of the Alpha Centuri. But ever since 2011 our base has been the Columbia. However, despite 10 years of the Columbia when radioing the boat from shore I still often say 'Alpha Centuri, Alpha Centuri this is shore party can you hear us?' And Jim on the boat knows exactly what's up. I actually think that this year I got it right and called 'Columbia, Columbia' for the first time. Patrick
