    That looks like you had a lot of fun. Great pictures! Thanks for sharing.
    I have always tempered my killing with respect for the game pursued. I see the animal not only as a target but as a living creature with more freedom than I will ever have. I take that life if I can, with regret as well as joy, and with the sure knowledge that nature's ways of fang and claw or exposure and starvation are a far crueler fate than I bestow. - Fred Bear

    Great pictures.

    It's amazing how light it stays that far north in the summer. I suppose it must get dark around 1500 on the shortest day in the winter though.
