Hunting Gear List

This is an ongoing project of sorts. We have changed our hunting location from north of Fairbanks and are heading West. The newspaper yesterday said that there is an unusual amount of bear activity over in that area this year. We will be "walk and stalk" hunting for roughly twelve days with a base camp set up outside of Bethel. The photo below is a clear shot of the ghillie. I just put an arm guard on it to keep leaves, jute, and burlap from catching the bowstring. I've shot it with a few hats as well just to make sure that the string won't catch on any of it. So far, so good.
