Walrus meat

I scanned this picture from a newspaper I brought home from Barrow called The Alaska Bush Shopper (October 2005). The print says, "Kurtis Kemp, 16, who took part in his first round Island walrus hunt, slices off a hunk of meat from one of the three walrus that was shot at the refuge. The crew gave the meat to anyone who wanted it and sent dozens of pounds of meat to Manokotak. The Qayassiq Walrus Commission started the officially sanctioned hunts on the state-managed game sanctuary in 1995." Hunting is normal here, so much so that I am in the extreme minority as never even handling a gun. Hunting around here is life. Pictures like this are like a trophy.
