New year new me as everyone says. With my first child, a daughter due in a few months I feel that is as fitting as ever this year. Recapping 2020 for my own purposes as much as anyone else’s but feel free to follow along for travel, bowhunting, and even an evil rifle kill.

January rolled in a new year with the love of my life. Winter sucks in Alaska, don’t let Nick and his love of ice fishing convince you differently... we escaped for a few days to visit friends in southern CA for some beach time and brewery visits.

Early February brought me into a life long dream of mine... chasing mountain lions behind a world class set of hounds. Can’t say enough wonderful things about Canyons West Outfitters down in Elko NV.

We cut a few tracks of smaller lions and a few days into the trip we cut three adult tracks crossing a ridge and cut the dogs out for all hell to break loose. Dave’s hounds made quick work and treed all 3 lions within the hour. We chased them into the first canyon where they split tree two lions. A young male and and older/bigger female. After some convincing i told Dave and the assistant guides the female was the cat I wanted. I vaguely remember saying “I don’t care about it’s genetalia, that’s a bigger cat and I’m killing it”. Haha never one to hold out for trophies, I punched my tag on the the old female and was happier than a pig in slop.

I had mountain Lion above even sheep in my all time dream list growing up as a kid coon hunting over hounds in Kentucky, after an unsuccessful trip in Idaho... a close friend of mine told me if you want to enjoy your trip and kill a lion book with Canyons West in Nevada. It didn’t disappoint. I cannot say enough good things about his operations. In the houndsmans world he is a legend. Top class dogs, top class equipment, several atvs on tracks, access to the most prime areas in that entire region... there’s a reason his batting average is right at 100%, if you get on his call list it’s a matter of when not if.

Later in May I had my heart set on one particular stand but sent a great friend of mine into another. He felt like it was too good to be true when I described what he would see, but it came to fruition when he saw exactly that and messaged me around 1am that a big bear was down. I shot two black bears that night, got the message from him, then shortly after got busted by my target brown bear while drawing the bow. Passed a few more black bears as we already had a long night/morning ahead of us skinning bears.

Some bears hang around even as you skin out a bear 25 yards from the bait. I prefer moving them out of the area whole to work on them but it isn’t always possible when dealing with the brown bears.
From: TEmbry
02-Jan-21
It took another two weeks, but after being busted drawing on the brown bear I was determined to get it done. An awesome night in the stand with Cody there to see it all, I finally got another chance. Very old sow was too much for me to resist. One slick trick and she didn’t go 25 yards. Cody was napping as she came in, and he woke up to me drawing my bow to shoot lol.

My target bear for that bait lives another year. Maybe 2021 big daddy will slip up and visit while I’m there. This year he had already moved in for a week and vacated the area searching for a hot sow. For size reference, the brown bear I shot is the one in the front.

After I tagged out on brown bear I pulled the baits for the year and transitioned into fishing/freezer filling mode. We got some dip netting in for our fill of salmon and tried twice to go on halibut charters but both times got stormed out on the morning of the trip. Always summer 2021 to try again I suppose.

Summer came and went with some of the most exciting news of my life. I had an appointment to buy a ring for Liz scheduled for a month or two (crazy how Covid effected literally everything even down to jewelry shopping). Find out that same week on Father’s Day of all days that we are pregnant. Best news of the year! We had originally planned on trying in 2021 but now no trying necessary, Mila Rose will be joining us in February!
I originally planned to propose on a Costa Rica vacation we had planned for January 2021. Now that this trip was cancelled I changed it up and decided to ask in July on a glacier kayaking trip we went on in Kenai Fjords National Park. Epic views, epic day, and an epic woman. She said yes!

Now it was getting to crunch time. Fall archery seasons started a few weeks after Liz said yes. I would start the fall by heading down to SE Alaska for an early season mountain goat hunt. In typical SE fashion we had rain every single day, including one day of sleet and 40-50 mph winds up top. Luckily the first morning of the hunt after the hike to the top, we got a few hours of clear weather and capitalized in a big way. While slowly hunting out the spine of a ridge I spotted a nice billy about 100 yards over the ledge. I went into kill mode and forgot to put on my micro spikes before trying the decent. My footing slipped in the wet grass and I went starfishing down the mountain gaining speed. I was using my bow to try to dig in a slow down the slide and my heels finally dug in about 6 inches from the ledge above a 40-50 ft drop into some jagged rocks. Adrenaline was pumping so much I toss my bow to the side to gain composure. I was SHOOK! Luckily sliding in wet grass is fairly quiet so the goat never even saw me in my error. after a few seconds I peaked over the ledge, confirmed he was still there and composed myself for the shot. Heard the arrow hit and the goat disappeared Over the rocks. I never saw him leave to the left or right in the avalanche slides so I assumed he piled up right there. I slowly climb back to the top to celebrate with Brian that I got a goat and more importantly didn’t die.

Goats make you go into crazy places! Look forward to the rest of the stories

As we were celebrating we see another billy appear over the peak and start making this way down the snow Bank right for us. He passes below where we thought my goat died and joined another 2 year old small goat in the rocks further down the ridge, Brian grabs his bow as he’s up to bat now. He works down the ridge and spider crawls down into position. At one point the younger goat spots him and walks in to about 5-10 feet to investigate. Brian held it together frozen for just long enough that the other billy came into view further down the cliff. His arrow flew true and I watched from my cliff as his goat ran down through the rocks and crashed into the snowbank spewing blood out of both sides. While we still hadn’t confirmed my goats whereabouts we were confident that we were officially tagged out by lunchtime on day 1. We descend down into the cliffs below my goat, cross the avalanche chute, and climb up to find him. He fell down into a crevasse between the snow bank and mountain side into about a 10 foot hole. We were extremely lucky that a college friend of Brian’s tagged along for the trip even though he doesn’t hunt, as it took all 3 of us to drag the billy up and out onto the snowbank. We took a few pics but as there was nowhere to cut it up we had no choice to let him slide down the mountain down to where Brian’s goat was at. I was nervous but thankfully he didn’t get busted up in the 1000 ft slide. After watching his corpse tumble, it made it even scarier for us to the cross back over the snow pack as we left now that we saw first hand what would happen if we slipped.

My goat in the ice hole. My original shot at such a steep angle spined him and broke his back (hence why we never saw him exit the area). I put a second arrow in him to finish him off before we tried dragging him out.

Once at the bottom we got an epic picture of two Pope and Young Billies killed 30 minutes apart. What a way to start off the fall! Two days of packing out meat and gear and it was time to change flights and head back to Anchorage early.
From: TEmbry
02-Jan-21
Once back, we decide to head north earlier than anticipated for our next hunt. I worked a few days and Brian left to drive north without me. He found and killed a nice interior grizzly (his first with a bow) before even picking me up at the airport. We then went caribou hunting for a day before our walk in sheep hunt was to start. As luck would have it we found two bulls bedded together and moved in to pull off yet another double. 5 archery animals down in a week!

Nick Saved us a whole hell of a lot of trouble dealing with the caribou meat as he was also hunting the same area. We sent our two bulls home with him and he dropped at the butcher for us in Fairbanks so we could head straight into the mountains to look for sheep. The sheep hunt was mostly a bust after several miles and seven days but the views and weather were incredible. We finally located a ram that was close to legal. After getting into rifle range and studying him for a while, we couldn’t make it legal no matter how hard we tried. After a while the winds shifted and he left the basin with his little friend so I guess it wouldn’t have mattered in the end either way. Fun hunt with a lot of miles on the boots but came out empty handed

After some debate in sheep camp of what our next move was, we decided after a week that we had seen enough of that area. We pushed 13-14 miles back to the truck and decided to head back up to caribou country for the last few days we had off in August. Several more groups were spotted but nothing with big size. Brian tried a few more stalks and tagged another nice looking small bull to round out the trip. I’m fairly confident if I was blood thirsty that day I could have punched my 3 remaining tags given the numbers we saw. When they are around that sure is a fun hunt!

Now moose season was upon us. Two good friends from Illinois (Scott a bowsiter) stopped in before heading afield to stage gear at my place. Shortly after Ed Fanchin flew up and it was time for us to leave for our trip. Both Ed and I carry a moose bow hunting curse, this year being no exception. We were around bulls daily, but it’s a very thick area and getting a shot off doesn’t always happen. We joked about how easy some of these trips would be if we’d just stop being stubborn and grab a rifle. I had one encounter at 40 yards with a nice 55ish 3x4 bull but it was too thick for an arrow to slip through before he knew the jig was up. Saw another bull or two at rifle ranges that were legal, otherwise we had several sub legal bulls in the area. Some days were more frustrating than others as we would slip into seemingly less than 100 yards of a rutting bull and never even lay eyes on him.

Very thick swampy area so the little pack raft was a lifesaver for navigating around going up and down the various beaver sloughs and creeks. Incredible how shallow it drafts with two full grown men in it.
From: TEmbry
03-Jan-21
Awesome time calling in moose regardless of outcome. Ed knows the stats better than I do but I think this now makes 31 days of moose hunting in AK for him without a bull down. I’ve helped butcher/pack out 5-10 bulls now with only one to show for myself. Incredible animals but not always the easiest archery hunt. Plenty of down time mid day for books and an occasional whiskey, which is one of my favorite parts of this hunt after a long August of mountain hunts.
From: TEmbry
03-Jan-21
On the final 20 minutes of daylight on the last night I thought for sure my luck had changed. Had 3 separate bulls grunting as they were coming in from opposite directions. At one point I had two bulls posturing at 15 yards, one of which walked by at about 8 feet. All 3 ended up being sub legal unfortunately but was an awesome experience none the less.

Our pilot is world class in a cub, as Ed put it “that’s like driving a bicycle to you”. He warned us our landing spot was tight as is and to NOT walk across the beaver dam cause if it gave way he may not be able to come get us which meant floating ourselves and hundreds of pounds of gear out to the ocean. We followed the rules but it didn’t matter, the morning we were set to be picked up we got up to break camp and noticed the heavy rains that night made the bank cave in and the entire creek diverted around the damn dropping the water level by FEET. We panicked, laughingly attempted to fix the dam and waited for the pilot to buzz over and check the scene. After 3-4 passes he put on his cowboy hat and dropped in to land anyway. We had to go light on the way out so I jumped in with him without any gear for the take off. I was nervous but he cleared the dam with a few feet to spare and we weaved up and out of the trees. Ed has a hilarious video of this take off somewhere. The pilot shuttled me to a bigger lake and returned for a gear load and finally to get Ed. Ed claims I went first to skip out on shuttling gear, I say I was laying my life on the line by going first so he could carry on in my memory if we didn’t clear the treeline lol.

Ed is a great guy to know. Fun to hang out with, extremely knowledgeable. After he came up to teach a P&Y measurers class in Anchorage a few years ago we’ve kicked around the idea of doing a hunt together someday. After my normal moose hunting partner had a conflict of schedule this past fall, I knew the first person to call that would be down for a last minute hunt plan and I wouldn’t have to babysit afield. Worked out perfectly and I now know him as a great friend. Amazing the connections that can be made through Bowsite and P&Y. Our first stop when back to civilization was for burgers and beers. Until next time Ed!

One short week at work (2 days lol) and I was off to Florida with Liz to tie the knot before she wised up. Plans for a traditional wedding were shot due to Covid and there was no guarantee this coming summer would be any different so we had a private beach ceremony with just our siblings and parents in attendance. We already had the trip planned as a vacation to visit our condo down there so might as well get married! I did give Liz a hard time as I originally planned an alligator hunt for this trip but with the wedding couldn’t squeeze it in. I told her we were merely hours into a marriage and she already had me cancelling a hunt :)

After Florida I came back north and worked a week before heading out for my last bowhunt of the year. Mtn Goats round two on Kodiak this time. Deer populations took a dive in several areas this past winter and I had promised a good buddy of mine to go after goats to try and get him his first. So we gave up the normal deer trip in favor of goat country (which worked out well as there was an early freeze up this year and the lake I normally deer hunt froze over while we were there which would have cut that trip short had we went that route).

The game plan was to land in a high alpine lake so we packed a little heavier gear than I otherwise would have. With the early freeze up we had to land much lower in elevation than expected so it was interesting packing wiggies sleeping bags and heavy pads up into goat country from essentially salt level. We made the best of it and capitalized on a good window of weather. If I could work into bow range I was up to bat, and if we busted them or couldn’t close the distance Cody would let the gun bark. Day 1 of hunting we got close but no cigar for me up in the rocks. At last light we used my ultimate predator decoy to essentially walk upright and close the gap from 350 to 200 yards for a much easier shot for Cody. A few bullets and a long tumble later he had his first goat ever, a nice 4 year old billy. We tried the following day for me to get another with the bow after finishing butchering his but I kept getting cliffed out and slipping in the icy rocks. Having a baby girl on the way and after my scare back in August I got cold feet and backed out on the last attempt to get above him. Maybe I’m getting soft, or wise... either way the second billy from that mountain lives another year.

Cody isn’t convinced goat hunting is for him. He loves sheep hunting and guides grizzly hunts every spring and fall but after killing a giant moose solo and a goat with me this year he said both may be a one and done species for him. “You guys who love goat hunting are f’ing crazy” lol

I made a deal with my wife that I wouldn’t travel for bowhunting this winter since she’s unable to travel during the final stint of her pregnancy. She hates winters so to be stuck in Alaska with me gone every other week would make it even worse. I did however slip away for a quick weekend trip predator calling in state with Brian. We struck gold and got to pull the trigger on 3 lynx in the matter of a few hours.

Finished out the year with a guided glacier tour on snow machines with some out of state family visiting. First Christmas with family around in 5 years so I was excited to have company. I almost felt guilty how amazing my year went in 2020 given how hard it affected others. Blessed and thankful to have by far the best year of my life. Just turned 30 a few weeks ago and it was a perfect ending to my twenties. Cheers to 2021 everyone! This year will be much of the same for me with spring bears, summer fishing, fall sheep/grizzly/goats. I may have to skip moose season as the current plan is to finally join Hunt on another elk hunt (2014 was too long ago!). Potentially an out of state deer hunt later in the fall depending on how work is going at that point.

Thanks fellas! Always fun to relive them in a recap and have all the brief stories in one place to reference later. I’m a pharmacist in Anchorage and for the past 3-4 years have worked a week on week off schedule which gave me flexibility to travel. I only got 120 hours of PTO a year so I historically have used a LOT of unpaid leave each fall lol. This next year will be challenging with a new schedule. Having a new born I didn’t want to continue that full week of 12 hour shifts in a row, too much time away from home that way.
