The Outfitting Year in Pictures

[Ardent]

For those with Instagram @wildcoastoutfitters

They say a picture's worth a thousand words, well it's the rude time of the year 59 degrees north in winter and I'm flush out of words. Hopefully these are worth a few, met a few memebers of this forum now and everyone has been fantastic company. Have enjoyed hunters from as far as Italy and as close as Washington, going into my third year and each one is better, it's the people that make it so enjoyable. This isn't comprehensive but the highlights, I'll likely get some more on here. These encompass 14 months, Sept 15-Nov 16.

I'll keep digging up more, and don't hesitate to ask grizzly or mountain gun questions etc. Enjoy discussing that stuff.

Where's Waldo with mountain goats, then in rainforest timber, and more fun follows.

Touché! The cameras tend to stay stowed then, here's one shot an assistant guide took of me that he "leaked".

Wonderful pictures of a life well lived! Inspiring. The pics are a stark reminder that life is short, but full of opportunity to have awe inspiring adventure while we are here.
They were enough to snap me out of my "day to day office grind" and get me focused on planning my next adventure.

The last thing I did before I left work was forward myself a link to a recent presentation by a Fed president on monetary policy. It's going to rain hard the next few days and my plan was to work on it this weekend so I could have a presentation ready on Monday. Now I think I'll put some meat on the smoker, listen to the rain beat on the roof, stare at the elk on my wall, and pull out a map of places I want to hunt and things I want to do. By the time Monday comes I'll have a plan, and an animal somewhere out there will have a problem in it's near future. Your pictures are worth far more than a thousand words. They move men to action. Thanks. I needed them.

Only God could have created a world so wonderful! I often sit in wonder as I look at sites like that and it makes me sad that people sit and watch TV never knowing what they are missing. Hunters, fishermen and campers who have adventure in their blood have experiences that can't be duplicated, and in the end it's only the experiences that will be remembered.

As all have said, inspiring. I'm curious what is the knife you have for scale in a couple of the pics?
