Doubletough pardner Billy Bertram aka Beach Billy forwarded this hero shot of his friend Andy Cool and his trophy. Andy was in Alaska back in May and knocked down this brute. From the looks of the landscape, it probably wasn’t to difficult to spot and looks like it was a glorious day to hunt!

The Longest Minute

July 30, 2008 Bear, Moose

This story was forwarded to me back in October 2006, about three weeks after the hunting incident it describes occurred.
