I'll try to live up to our 2 local "going live" regulars.

Going to be a bit of a mystery for yall at first. Possibly a little tease until we actually kill something

First to guess the hunt gets 100 F34 points

Welcome to the Outdoor Board. Where going live isn't assurance for success and the points don't matter.

Are you hunting cougars at the airport?

I was going to say cougars at Starbucks. He's probably got his Lululemon leggings on to fit in.

Lulu's had to stay home. Wouldn't be warm enough for this trip.

We're pushing back. I'll report next update at touch down in 5 hours

Hmmm appears to be an Alaskan Airlines winglet and it seems there is a 1000 flight from DFW to SEA...

Jives with an ~5hr flight time.

Ah what the hell, I'm in.

Heck, it's OB.

He HAS to be after the elusive arctic dikfur!

What's a "dikfur?"

Damn, gave you gave too much Info. Jimmy is on the right track.

But this is just a layover. 1 hour till take off

I'm a sucker for a good OB Live.

Final travel stop. Couple hour drive tomorrow

Try the bar at Pappadeaux for the best shot.

No camo croc pics, no ****ty light beer, no John Wayne pics staring at an armadillo. THIS THREAD SUCKS compared to Giddings.

Too cold for Crocs, but I do have them with me

Most really old people I see, wear crocs! Enjoy the trip. That looks way too cold for me today.

Final destination

Not sure if the northern lights are still around, but should have a good view tonight if they are.

Little crazy I was in Anchorage, couldn't see them but everyone in Texas is sending pics of them.

Getting on the boat to head to the hunting spot just before daylight, 830 AM, crazy.

What's the temps like right now?

If points don't matter as mentioned in OP, I would bet he is after bear. BIG bear. Ursus Major.

Current temp is 28. Single digit at night.

Current status

Are you hunting Alaskan fishermen?

New spot

Getting colder

Long way to go to hunt Puffins. Good luck.

Day 1 in the bag.

Barrows golden eye

Checked off the list


Hunting in this environment is amazing. Crazy beautiful. My photos don't do it justice

Interesting hunting spot to end the day yesterday.

I didn't get a picture but we also hunted from a small "raft" sitting out in the middle of this bay area. A little nerve racking knowing the water is a few hundred feet deep and your in an inflatable raft, wearing clothes you can't swim in.

And to comply with all OB rules. Here is a whale tale we saw

First hunt spot of today

Target is Harlequin

On the board for Harlequin

This is epic.

Pretty epic hunt today. The Harlequin was our top species coming in. Today was dedicated to them. First sit was good, quick action. But only 2 birds.

Second sit was more productive. At the end of it 2 of our 3 hunters had their 2 birds for the day. I still needed 1. To make it worse, i had 2 seprate chances at a final bird, but it just didnt happen. We picked up and moved to a new spot. Really set up for just 1 person and 1 goal, get my last bird. I got out alone to get my 1 bird.



Within 20 minutes I had a group of 4 land. 1 set up for a good shot. 1 shot 1 kill. So much relief.

Riding in now, rough seas.

Ready for tomorrow

Beautiful pictures but I think that I will pass on hunting out of an inflatable raft.

Did you get any pictures of the dog retrieving the birds?

This is the dog. We have radios on the shore, once birds start floating too far, or bald eagles start trying to pick them up we radio him and he runs through with a dip net.

I've finally had time to take the required going live photo. My apologies for not following the rules.

Unfortunately still no pup.

Such a badass trip. On my bucket list. Smoke that quack!
