Retired - Now What?

[NIGHTHAWK]

I was thinking of your topic here and then heard you dropped some major coin at SCI...well played sir...well played.

If I don’t book now, I won’t go. And time will slip away…

I’ve extended my conversation with the Kyrgyzstan outfitter to this:

Arrive Kyrgyzstan Nov 25
Spend night in hotel in Naryn
Get to camp Nov 26
Hunting sheep & ibex Nov 27,28,29,30,, Dec 1,2,3,4. Drive to Bishkek Dec 5, Rest in Bishkek.

Fly to Kamchatka Dec 6,
Hunt moose Dec 7,8,9,10,11.
Dec 12 Rest in Kamchatka.
Dec 13 fly home.

Lots of detail to work out. Exciting to plan…

So yes, smart to keep working for a while!

Lots of bucket items being checked. Any concerns with Russia? I talk to some people and they won't go right now...maybe because they have extensive military records...and then you talk to someone like Bob Kern and he doesn't seem concerned with his extensive local connections.

All good points and concerns. I have a DOE contracts history…

This hunt will be for 2027. I know a guy that is going to Kamchatka this year. Hopefully it works out. Then I’ll know.
