Afognak Island Hunting Day 4

Our fourth full day of hunting was moderately successful, with Paul and myself (Matt) each getting a doe. Paul’s was actually a button buck. This may be our last day of hunting, depending on the weather and the float plane schedule. Stay posted!

Afognak Island Deer and Bear Hunting: Day 3

Day three of Afognak Island turned out some positive results, with several deer down! Paul still hasn’t gotten a Kodiak bear, nor have we seen anyway. Tom tagged out, with three doe, Kit celebrated turning 18 by bagging his first blacktail deer, and Markel managed to take down a buck. I managed to take down […]

Afognak Island Deer and Bear Hunting:Day 2

Day Two was a bust, no deer, no bears, but Paul did bag three ducks. I managed to scare a fox off by shooting at it nine times with a Glock (not on video, sorry). It was terrible windy today, but at least there was no rain.

Afognak Island Deer Hunting: Day 1

Currently we are deer and bear hunting (Paul has a Kodiak bear tag) on Afognak Island, I am updating with my Starlink system. This is Day 1, and also the day before when we traveled to Kodiak and then to Afognak. I am using the 45-70 rifle that we are giving away at the end […]

Ascending 1,000 feet to the top of the Eiffel Tower

The elevator ride up was actually a hair frightening, as you can tell by the language that I have removed from the video. This was the result of other people in the elevator, not our group. See all the videos and slides of Paris here.

AI ChatGPT designed halibut fishing jig

My brother came to visit, he is a computer science major. He has taken some classes in artificial intelligence, so I asked him to use those tools to design a fishing lure. The result was a bit interesting, and made me think we are safe from robots, at least for a little while.

Halibut Cove Fishing, June 3, 2023

Our youth group went hiking in Halibut Cove, and I was enlisted to haul everyone over. The last group made the wise choice to go fishing instead of hiking, and it just so happened I had fishing equipment on the boat! Click here for extra footage not included in this video.
