Checking off #1 on Bucket List..moose in Alaska

[Sean B]

In three weeks I'll be checking off number 1 on my bucket list. I'll on a river in Alaska on my very first moose hunt with my good buddy and fellow PBS member Bubba Graves. I've dreamt about this for what seems like forever, now I finally have the opportunity to make it a reality. It's been almost two years in planning and getting things in order. I think I've just about wore out my copy of Mike Mittens DVD!! This is going to be a LONG 3 weeks!!

[Preston Lay]

I wish you and Bubba the best of luck.

[Sean B]

Hey Preston, good luck to you and Duane on your elk hunt!! I can't wait to hear about it!!

[Soonerlongbow]

Good luck and be safe!

Good luck Sean
What's your setup your using?

[Kevin Dill]

The best things about your first moose hunt in Alaska are....all the things you're going to learn about moose hunting, along with the classroom you'll do it in. School starts in a few weeks!

I well recall my first moose hunts and how intense they were. Nothing can prepare you for the experience of watching a very large upset bull thrash brush and glare in your direction. Then here he comes....grunting, drooling and tilting. You realize pretty quickly that you're not in charge, and things can get a bit uncomfortable. Be ready to kill. Your opportunity may happen on any given day.

I'll be in camp and waking up to hunt in exactly 2 weeks. A certain well-known bowyer is joining me on the hunt this year, and I'm happy for him. Hot coffee....warm oatmeal...and then it's time to greet the frosty dawn.

Good luck Sean.

Absolutely Kevin!! I was hanging out with Burkhardt Saturday night at ETAR and was loving his stories. My first encounter with a bull moose was about 28 years ago in Maine. I was face to face with him about 8 yards apart and I was in HIS way!!  I knew right then and there that I wanted to hunt them!!  Both  Bryan and Monty have been a huge help and both have kept me on the edge of my seat.
