INTERIOR MOUNTAIN GRIZZLY BEAR.Pioneer Outfitters has

one of the only areas in

Alaska a Grizzly may be

taken every year instead

of every four

years...crossing more

than tracks, that is the

trick!

This 2009 Season,

Pioneer Outfitters

joined hands with Hunt

of a Lifetime to offer

all of our experience

and opportunities to

help Hunt of a Lifetime

make dreams come true.

As hard as the economy

has been these last few

years, with most people

tightening up on money

and trying to wait the

hard times out,

organizations such as

Hunt of a Lifetime need

people like Alaskan

Master Guide Terry

Overly and companies

like Pioneer Outfitters

to open their hearts and

the purse strings to

make sure the “wait”

doesn’t negate the fact

that young people like

Jesse Pizana and

Bennett Page have a life

to live now.

Guide, Amber-Lee with a

KATHY HUTSONIt’s remote. In can be

unbelievably difficult.

It is expensive. These are

not the reasons that we

hunt Sheep. The beauty

of Sheep country is

unsurpassed. The

feelings brought from

being high on that

mountain peak are

spectacular. The inner

satisfaction, the

knowledge and triumph,

this is why we hunt

Sheep. It can beat you up

and not beat you. It can

break your heart and

heal it, all at the same

time. The pursuit of the

magnificent Dall Sheep,

the holy grail of this

hunter’s quest. Kathy

Hutson, has hunted Dall

Sheep with us at Pioneer

Outfitters twice now

and has yet to harvest

her sought after trophy.

The determination, the

dedication to her goal is

an inspiration. Pioneer

Outfitters has been

privileged over the

years , meeting and

getting to know some

really special people,

Kathy is one of those

people. All hunters

know, as do professional

guides do, luck (like the

weather) isn’t something

anyone can control, all

we can do is keep going

and be ready. Kathy is

due for a little luck to

mix with her drive and

strength and Pioneer

Outfitters is looking

forward to August 2010

so that we can share in

that triumph that is

surely to come.

Levi Coman working on Doug Tyrol's Dall Sheep, after retrieving it from the glacier it spent the night on. Levi walked down the glacier with one boot as the other one self destructed!

Bella, checking out the Grizzly Bear skull. Doug Tyrrell took this Grizzly while moving camp.

Jessi Braga, Pioneer Outfitters’ newest Assistant Guide. With the training Jessi has had and her experience with different Rescue organizations, Jessi makes a fine addition to Pioneer Outfitters.

John Murhy , a Pioneer Outfitters Survival and Guide Training trainee, cleans and prepares the Bear skull for shipping with little Bella watching closely.

Smoke, one of our “go to” horses, shows us what he thinks of all this riding around...

Pioneer Outfitters’ Dan Heineck,at the end of the first hunt, a terrible infection in his leg would send him to the hospital for the rest of the fall hunting season.... He’s all healed up now, we are all happy to report!

One of the best things about being in hunting camp, the end of the day sitting around a fire.

Next Year’s beauties.

Out looking for horses, John found these 2 Mountain Caribou racks locked up and carried them back to put in Terry’s trophy room.

Todd found another nice set of Mountain Caribou horns in the creek he was hunting and packed these back to the Lodge too.
