While in Alaska, Tony saw the usual Alaskan wild animals. This moose was at his hotel - I think every time he's there he sees a moose at his hotel.
This fellow provided them with some entertainment while they were at the Kenair River.
Tony has some particularly interesting stories about bears on these fishing trips. Last year, he looked out into the river and a bear was floating down the river on his back with only his head sticking out of the water - I guess that's quicker than walking...
The bears know what coolers are. You're not supposed to leave coolers unattended but it happens. Last year, he saw a bear find a cooler, open it, take a candy bar out, take the wrapper off, and eat it.
The bears also know what fish stringers are. Why not? Let someone else do all the work, catch the fish, put them on a stringer where they can't get away, then the bear only has to get the stringer. (I could make a political joke/statement here but I won't).
This bear found a stringer of fish and had a nice lunch. Then it found someone's shirt lying on the ground and decided that would be a good place to take a rest. I guess it does get old lying on rocks all the time.
You can see the shirt in this picture (pre-resting bear photo) in the left lower quadrant of this picture.
After you have eaten a stringer full of fish, it almost feels like naptime...
If I could just get comfortable.
