Hi Betty and Curly, I want to thank you for showing me tough and rough Alaska, but also warm and friendly Alaska. I m home with a lot of memories and already a lot of people have contacted me to hear about my trip. I hope we can somehow find a way so I can come back to you and hopefully get some of the trophies, which I have seen walking around in Alaska. Best regards and once again thank you for everything. Mogens Christensen Curly, I enjoyed the hunting trip. It was a physically demanding hunt but a fun hunt. Disappointed I didn t get a moose but I did get one of the items I wanted accoumplished taken care of on this trip. It was a true pleasure meeting both you and Betty. You have managed to carve out a beautiful place in the bush. It is a great place to go for a hunt. Guy Willis

Traveling from Sault St. Marie, Ontario Nick Parniak took big 9 grizzly on 10 day late August hunt. Dear Betty and Curly, Wanted to thank you immensely for an incredible and magical hunt!! I made it home well. Best always, Miguel M. Facusse All around good guy Ron Boles took great caribou on last day of his 2013 hunt with us. September 2013 Sue and I both want to thank you for being such stand up people in making our Alaska hunt a good one. It is easy to get good reviews when everything runs perfect and clients score their trophy. But you two recognized a unexpected problem and earned good reviews from us. Have a great winter, hope to be back soon! Randy Kuchenmeister Jody Coddington got in some quality silver salmon fishing with us in early August. Big Tom Heeger took a massive bull moose with us on a 2012 hunt and a nice wolf September 2013. On his second fishing adventure with us Paul Bontrager landed many sheefish. The fishing trip to Alaska at Stoney River Lodge went very well. One day we caught and released over 100 Northern Pike and another day we caught a combination of Grayling and Arctic Char. The Grayling and Char amounted to over 100 fish that day. Kenzie and Elaina caught several fish and really enjoyed catching and releasing them. Clay and I caught the most fish but he beat me one day which made him very happy! Taken from Gail Zimmerman family letter August 2013: Mogens Christiansen traveled from Denmark for an Alaskan Adventure.
