So after listening to me complain that he gets to hunt for days on end, Brent planned a hunt for me on the Prince William Sound from Valdez, AK. It takes 7 hours to get to Valdez from Fairbanks and then another 2 hours on the ocean to get to the hunting spot. It was so beautiful there! The scenery included pristine mountains, glaciers and beautiful ocean views. We had one day that was rainy but other than that it was perfect weather! We even came home with a tan. Anyway, the first night I got my first shot at my bear, but oh my, I was so nervous I was shaking like crazy and I missed him. The second day we spotted a couple bears, but we weren't able to get one within range. Early the third morning I got my redemption shot! We got to within 80 yards of the bear and was able to calm my nerves enough to make a good shot on him. I have to admit, I get it now. I get why my hubby likes this so much. The whole experience was an eye opener for me. It was very exciting! What an awesome hunt! What an awesome bear! Thanks to Brent for planning our hunt. Thanks to Ken for taking us out and letting us use your boats. Thanks to Greg and Shane for helping. Thanks to Jamie for watching our girls!
