I stumbled across this recent interview with Joe Want. I've met and talked to Joe a number of times, and am always fascinated by his personality, his experiences and his outlook on life.
He's lived the experience of about 5 men, was born and raised in AK and is still going strong. He lives in Fairbanks and can be found at just about any wildlife related function. He usually teaches a bear hunting/skinning course and recently has been presenting some field judging courses for sheep.
I believe he's guided more bears on Kodiak than any other guide, and has guided a metric ton of sheep hunts as well. He used to post on a couple forums, but gave it up when people called BS on his stories. I have no doubt they were true, but the internet warriors were not so sure. I still see him post occasionally on Rokslide.
I wish the audio was better, and I hope that he gives some more interviews. There are few guys like him anywhere, let alone in Alaska...
