Family Hunts … A Beautiful Thing

Few things make us happier than seeing family members hunting together.  This is a father/daughter team that just returned from a successful hunt in the Talkeetna Mountains.  They spent 3 or 4 days sneaking around in the woods trying to take a bull caribou, when all of a sudden this bull walked through camp while dad was brushing his teeth.  She was able to pretty much shoot from the tent, and only pack it a few hundred feet to the airstrip.  She is 16 years old and took it with one shot from a .30-06 ultra light.  It was awesome to see their excitement, and enjoy this accomplishment with them.  She even taught us that it is not called a “double shovel” but that it has “two scoops”.  Our clients are probably the funnest part of our job.
