from fellow hunters
Words from Bob Newland:
Hope and a Prayer
I sat in the Anchorage airport waiting on a flight home, dejected and disappointed. I had just spent nine days traversing the Talkeetna Mountains searching for a Dall sheep to complete my Super Ten of North American big game.
Two things run through your mind at a moment like this…boy am I sore, and I just dropped some serious coin on an unsuccessful hunt.
I can’t really call it a waste of money. The experience was incredible and one I will never forget, but I still need a sheep if I’m ever going to complete my goal! I’m not sure I could justify the cost of trying again.
The costs of hunting adventures are becoming prohibitive for the average guy, and that’s all I am. I don’t have that bottomless well of cash on hand to keep funding my passions.
