Welcome to the Jay Scott Outdoors podcast. Today I've got my friend Frank Sanders of Alaska Trophy outfitters on the phone. Frank how you doing?

No, I'm just trying to stay out of trouble.

How about you, Jay?

That's hard for you.

Once all the clients are then the dust out of the lights are

I start chasing stuff myself. Once all the clients were on the dust out of the lights

I started chasing stuff myself.

Yeah, yeah, I saw you been hunting all around.

The last time I saw you, you had been to Mexico with us cooster hunting last January and we had a ball down there

and Sonora.

It was a lot of fun down there. How did your seasons go up in Alaska?

Well, we didn't see as many animals as I saw bucks in Mexico, I can tell you that that I tell people how many bucks we saw

down there and they don't believe me but anyway we we had a really good year. It was an even year, and so for those who don't know one of my primary species is Brown Bear,

and on even years we hunt the Alaska Peninsula,

and then it'll be open again this coming fall.

So essentially it gets about what 16-18 month break there, but we had a fricking tremendous spring.

It started out, you know, it was a warmer spring and I thought, man, it's really going to take

off, not a lot of snow.

And in all honesty, the first few days were really slow, but when it started, I mean it went wide open.

What was the changing factor? Was it just it warmed up enough and the bears came out or what?

You know I'd like to act like I'm smart enough and had a good answer for you.

And you know typically I can think about something you know it's not the sharpest knife in the drawer.
