Last Visitors for the Year: Hunting and Fishing (Aug. 30-Sept. 9, 2011)
Mark and Kelly got into Kenai on August 30 to visit us in Alaska for their second time. Mark and Jon flew out across the bay for some moose hunting over labor day weekend. Unfortunately, the conditions were terrible and they didn't see or hear any moose. There were a lot of downed trees making it impossible for them to be "ninja" quiet and the wind was working against them, allowing the moose to catch their scent. We'll have to wait on moose meat for another year. While the boys were moose hunting, Kelly and I spent some time down in Homer and Seward.
Mark and Kelly got out for quite a bit of silver salmon fishing while Jon and I were at work throughout the week. The run isn't super heavy right now, but Mark caught a rainbow trout and Kelly caught a silver salmon. Mark also caught what looked like a river monster, which ended up being a spawning king salmon. Of course, due to regulations, it was released. They also went hike at Russian River Falls were they saw 3 brown bears fishing for spawning salmon.
