Hi Guys,

I just thought I'd keep you all up to date with news I get from Rick from time to time, in his absence. As some of you may know, he's been taking a short break from his PhD studies to go hunting. This isn't just sport for Rick, but a necessary part of the way of life in his native Alaska.

So anyway, he's been on a moose hunt, stocking up on meat for the coming winter. Whilst 'calling in' the bull moose he found himself being stalked by a Grizzly! This beast was 7'6" square, maybe 9' on it's back legs. As it charged him through the stream he was (luckily) able to bring it down with a clean shot. So Rick lives to hunt another day!



The wildest thing I've done these past few days is assemble a childs' bicycle!

I would have crapped my pants lol

To be honest, I'm wondering if he just bought a furry rug and dragged it into the wilderness for that photo!

Man think of all the work cutting it up and hauling it out of there. I think he is set for meat for the winter. Thank for keeping up updated.

Way to go, Rick!

To paraphrase Stephen Colbert, bears are godless killing machines.

well
Rick' got that happy face on
the one when you get the bear instead of the other way 'round
and that's probably a nice chunk of his winter supply
