The Wilkinsons
We left northern BC in 78 and moved to the
Yukon, four years later we bought our concession and have been "outfitting"
since.
Ruth, my wife does most of the expediting and specialty cooking so I can still do some
guiding myself. Our son Joel bought his first gun, a Browning lever action 22, from his martin trapping money when he
was eight. Joel has been a professional guide for us in Alberta & NWT since he turned 18.
Our daughter Chelsea has spent all her summers and a lot of each winter in the bush. She is an
avid animal lover and has a hard time pulling the trigger but is an excellent hostess and
adds life to everything. She married Glenn in 2003 and now makes her home in Alberta. Glenn is a Wildfire Ranger and Chelsea is a junior Game Warden.
I personally grew up dreaming about Jack OConners
stories of his mountain hunts for sheep, grizzly, moose, and caribou and for the last
30 years have lived the life. |
