I'm Thomas
Baker, a '17 from Kotzebue, Alaska.
I have some questions for you
Ever hunted before?
Have extensive outdoors experience?
Want to be a leader in Bait and Bullet?
Like, really, really want to be a B&B leader?
Ever wanted to go on an adventure to the far north?
This fall, we're planning on making a trip up to the Brooks Mountain Range (100 miles north of the Arctic Circle, mind you) in Alaska to hunt caribou!
With the help of Bait and Bullet, along with my family, most of the expenses of the trip will be covered, so this is an amazing opportunity to get out there.
We'll be learning how to hunt and dress caribou, possibly moose and small game. Some of these lessons will be taught using traditional Inupiaq Eskimo techniques and methods. Obviously, we'll be having *butt* loads
of fun while we're doing it. Get it, "rifle butts"?
We might even see the Northern Lights. (But really it's almost impossible for us to not see them)
Here's the deal:
You get yourself to Seattle, and we fly out together on September 2 to Anchorage, on to Kotzebue, and ultimately to my cabin. Once there, we'll spend 8 days hunting and having a great time, exploring, hiking in
the Alaskan wilderness. We'll arrive back in Seattle early on September 12, with plenty of time to spare before fall classes begin on the 16th.
The link to the application is below. Spots are limited. Decisions will be made some time at the beginning of Spring term.
Let us know if you have questions (more details in the application).
