ABC has a story on this fellow, who finally managed to fulfill his lifelong dream of heading to the Arctic Circle for vacation. It looks like the idiot shot some wildlife while he was there.

"It was a great experience. It was it was actually three days and three plane rides. That was part of the fun though because we got to meet a lot of people and see a lot of sights and it was just truly a wonderful adventure. First day out we saw a couple nice bulls and I ended up harvesting the biggest one and he scored number 50 in the world."

"We went in April and that is sort of the end of their winter. It was between zero and 20 to 30 below, so it was really cold, but luckily we dressed for it and we bought the right equipment. It's colder that I have ever experienced in my life. The Indians that we used as the guides actually had a little 14 by 14 foot shack. It doesn't sound like much but when you come off 12 or 14 hours in the weather, it is like the Hyatt."

It's always a little irritating when someone journeys halfway around the world and then does nothing but live out their personal, insular fantasies there. Then again, what in the hell did he want to do in the Arctic to begin with?
