Cool! Especially the 'family' shots from 5:28 on.

Absolutely beautiful countryside there Casper!
13 days of Heaven that would be, even if you never fired a shot. It must be a wonderful experience to do, let alone every year - lucky bugger!
If you do get a good animal how do you store the meat, get a chopper to pick it up for you?

It's usually cold enough to let it hang in meat bags under a tarp in the shade somewhere where it can catch the breeze for 7 days. After that amount of time we have to make sure we leave so that we get it to a cooler within 8 or 9 days. Time depends upon the temps of course. This year wasn't cold. We left 6 days after it was down.

I enjoyed that, thanks for posting.

It is so much nicer when people take scenery shots, wildlife shots etc, than just shot dead animals.

I have always wanted to hunt in Alaska and Canada. One day.

You're welcome John. The hunt consists of way more than just shooting. Took a new hunting partner this year as my friend couldn't get off work from the hospital. Had a very enjoyable time.

Well put together, Casper50. The landscape in many places here is so similar, that the video could have been 'taken' here.
