Wasilla, Alaska, by 300 in Barrow, Bennie Hopson, Hunters, Roy Ahmaogak, and then some, ugruk (bearded seal), whaling

It was the second ugruk hunt that I have been on this trip and both were successful. That's Bennie Hopson of Barrow ready to shoot the rifle and throw the harpoon. His dad, Roy Ahmaogak, is behind me, driving the boat. I have not had a chance to even begin to look at my take, other than to grab this one.

But I will.

And I will share more and will tell the story.

Might be a few days.
