I actually chose not to bring the fox back due to the cost of it. They wanted 400 euros to skin and certify it due to some regulations. Then it ships at different times than the muskox would. Only once a year on the foxes I guess. Anyway I figured I'd be in at least 1k just for the fox so...

Yes, I caught some Atlantic cod like that one and also some smaller Greenlandic cod off of the main channel

Just returned from my Greenland muskox hunt. Awesome adventure in freezing temps. I'm not much of a storyteller but will rough it out. I booked a 6 day hunt with 4 hunting days. It took 3 days to get there. I did go a day early just to be safe and fortunately I did. I was the only hunter...

I'm leaving for this hunt in 7 weeks from today. I booked 2 years ago for $4200. I see it's now at 1k more and has changed from 6 days to only 4 total. At least the outfit I'm going with.

I live in Colorado but quit all other western states other than Wyoming until I use my antelope and deer points. I apply for bear in Michigan, Minnesota and Wisconsin but that's only about $5 each until I draw. Like JimP mentioned I've started traveling the world to hunt. I'll be hunting...

Since it's a retirement gift and you'll obviously continue hunting like you normally do I'd look at things further from home. The only exotics in Texas that really interest me anymore that you can't get anywhere else are aoudad or nilgai. Both barely under your budget. I've taken 2 aoudad...

I put a jewell trigger in mine long ago and it's flawless. That said I've put timney triggers in other rifles and likely what I'll continue using in the future. Works great at a better price.

I'm booked with yooperoutdoors. He raised his rates a lot this year but we're already committed. But watching him for years I think he's likely the best up there. Includes lodging meals and use of a boat for fishing in the mornings. I fished with him last year and he really delivers. He's...

Neither of us drew in the secondary. I was hopeful my grandson would get the doe tag as even I drew one of 3 available 2 years ago.

I did apply for one of three buck tags that apparently didn't get paid for in the first round. Not likely but always a chance. Applied my grandson for a leftover doe tag so hopefully his youth preference gets that one.

My grandmother was born in Hermansville also. They had a cabin and 80 acres in Hardwood since the 50s. My cousins have it now but they don't hunt so I ruled that out.

Thank you! I was originally planning to hunt closer to Iron Mountain where I was born. But the guy we're booked with is very successful and extremely passionate about what he does so made the decision to go this route a few years ago.

Nothing super special but a big deal for me. We moved to Colorado when I was 16 and rarely get to go back to where I'm from. But after 11 years of applying my son and I drew the Newberry 1st season for 2024. I'm 56 now and have never harvested an animal in the U.P. We will be using a guide...

Just got back from kodiak. Had an amazing time with my grandson. 2 days fishing. Halibut, cod, rock fish, lingcod were hitting like crazy but weren't in season yet so all had to be released. Came back with 100lbs in fillets.

No deer tag this year. I gambled with 1 point for 444 4th season and ended wth nothing even with 2nd season second choice. My daughter in law took the same gamble and got the 4th season tag so all good.
