my first bull moose! These animals are incredibly huge! He weighed about 1,000 lbs and I got about 500lbs of meat! Just to give you an idea it took 2 of us to pick up one hine quarter

dead salmon after the spawn. These fish swim hundreds of miles from the coast to the interior of Alaska to spawn. By this point they are in bad shape and have lost a lot of weight.

Those are beautiful pictures Richie! I like the one of you in the boat with your glasses and hat on. I think I might print that one off.
Laney has been asking about you and Tara, even without me prompting. She's changed so much even since you've seen her. Just more alert and understanding pretty much everything we say. She'll be two in three months. Can you believe it? "Where Chi-Chi? Huh? Where Tara? Precious. She was pointing ya'll out today in one of your wedding pics.
Praying for you Rich- you too Tara
Love you
p.s. Tara, I'm looking forward to seeing you soon!
nice kill, that thing looks gigantic. How's the meat?
You are looking like a mountain man out there with your goatee. Living it up. I really need to make it out there one day.
later
