    the hook that drug me to Alaska

    Hey good on ya man. 45 years ago I was sitting in a bar. My buddy said let's go for a ride. I said let's go to AK. That was on a Wednesday. On Friday we were on our way. Never looked back. Got here n said this is home. Sure glad that I'm the type of person that is willing to open that...

    Who ready for bear season?

    Yeah my hope to be out at our cabin. We can harvest 3 black n 2 brown bear without any special permit besides a license n free black bear harvest tickets. The area has sooooo many bears that the moose are being effected. One game board has declared an emergency predator control area type thing...

    Reliable air transportation services in Alaska

    For you folks that need an air transportation service. I'd like to recommend, Dave Hicks with N-2 Alaska, 907-616-1010. Flying out of Talkeetna Alaska. I've been using Dave for years now. Great bush pilot flying a 185 Cessna on floats.

    Custom Moose Calls

    Finding the dead birch tree should be fairly easy. Cut the bark off of it and form a cone. A plastic pint whiskey bottle with the bottom cut off works several ways. As a megaphone, if you put a stick in it and scrape it against a tree or brush it makes sounds similar to a bull raking a bush. You...

    What is you "Happy Place"?

    Yes north of Willow a bit. Heck I've not had the opportunity to get out to the cabin much the last couple years because of neck fusion surgeries. But do have a plan to fly out with a buddy and finish installing the water well. I will then have running potable water right from the kitchen sink...

    What is you "Happy Place"?

    My happy place is at our remote cabin in the middle of nowhere Alaska. Nestled at the base of Mt Denali. I can go there for 6 weeks during moose hunting season and come back a different person. It's a place where time doesn't matter. Not very many places like this in this day n age.

    Protection in bear country
