Jim Taylor
One Of My Most Favorite Hunts

In 2006, Tom Lindner, Tom Peterson and I flew to Fairbanks, Alaska and met up with Bryan Pettit. We had been sending stuff to Bryan for a year or so preparing. Tom Lindner and I got to Fairbanks first and bought all the food supplies we would need. That night Tom Peterson flew in and the next day Bryan drove in, pulling a trailer.

We loaded everything and drove from Fairbanks up to Circle on the Yukon River. Bryan had his boat there and we loaded up and headed North. Someplace miles North of Circle we found where we wanted to camp and set up. We were there a week. It was a great time in a place that few humans have been, far from civilization and wild as God made it. And with GOOD FRIENDS!

Three went hunting every day. One stayed in camp and cleaned up, cut firewood, guarded the camp. During the week there I saw one other person, a native who was looking for moose. I told him where I had spooked one the day before and he headed that way. An hour or two later I heard a shot and figure he connected.

There are photos from of the trip posted here .. with links to two other pages of photos.
