The Yukon Experiment
















Sorry for the tardy follow up to our Yukon hunt but the plane was late coming in to get us and we've been in and out of cell reception for the past few days. The trip ended without a shot being fired but it was far from a failure. We got to spend some time in the most incredible landscapes in the world and we got to hunt where no other hunter has tread for over three decades. After spending a couple weeks in the region, it looks as though it's subject to some very heavy snowfalls in the winter, likely explaining the lack of game.

It was exciting to be part of an exploratory mission for Jarrett at Deuling Stone Outfitters and I'm sure we'll be back doing it again next year. He took some great sheep and moose out of his established camps this year and the great thing is, there's thousands of square miles yet to be explored. I've already got my eye on a couple lakes we flew over on our way out. Jarrett runs a first-class outfit that produces world-class trophies each year but my wanderlust has always attracted me to the places less explored. If you are looking for hunt of a lifetime, be sure to check Deuling Stone Outfitters out http://www.deulingstoneoutfitters.com/ As for Vanessa, Jet and I, we'll definitely be back next year in yet another unexplored corner of his vast area. Who knows, next time it could turn out to be game Utopia.

Now to tune up the elk call and get out after some bugling bulls.
