North to Alaska

[Sir Henry]

Might be hard to but there is a moose walking across.

just curious, what would you estimate the distance to the moose in the picture

600 yards

600 yards

amazing .... I have absolutely no ability to even come close to estimating such distances

The guide knows the distance to all the game trails and markers. The guide starts the season shooting with his kids and friends. He let us shoot for free. We shot as friends and not clients so we were not catered to and he shot too.

that's great .... I would really appreciate being able to shoot with someone who is that level

He didn’t just call them in; he spoke to them and could identify one looking for a lost mate.

Great pic Gene with the two of you and all those birds. That sky in the background looks amazing. How much “night” time are you getting at this time of the year?

Sunset around 8:45 and rise 6:33

Wow, that’s a lot more nighttime in the land of the midnight sun than I expected. Granted we’re over two months since the solstice but surprising just the same. Yep, the days are definitely getting shorter, winters coming.

Even though the sun goes down at 8:45 it s not really dark until 10:30. Same thing with sunrise. In the summer the sun might sit but it never gets dark. We have been talking and my next trip we might drive further north to where the sun never sits.

Today was full-auto, sub-machine and machine gun day. Nothing like putting $1,000 of lead down range in a few hours.
