Thanks everybody for all the information so far. Really good and lots to think about.
As an aside, we’re on our own on the first half of the trip because my aunt and uncle will be in glacier view watching them chuck cars off a cliff. Anybody heard of this?
Thanks @Dave N my uncle had the same concerns on that initial timeline. The wife seems to really want a picture in front of that Arctic Circle sign, so we’ll see. My uncle suggested photoshop. We’re still thinking about that. We had a similarly aggressive timeline a few years ago from...
Yes, definitely planning on doing the sled dog thing. It will be the highlight for my daughter most likely. Happen to remember the name of the outfit you visited? Would you recommend them?
Well folks, the tickets are bought. We’re making this trip primarily because my Uncle has lived there for many years and my wife would like to go. So, we’ll be arriving in Anchorage very early on 7/4 and leaving late on 7/14. This is a OIL trip for our family. For those of you that live...
Did not draw a tag, nor did my kids. Hope to make a silk purse out of some crappy late season leftover tags. And the cherry on top is my sister in law scheduling her kid’s birthday party during youth season.
Good luck to all!
That was kinda part of my point. If you think you two are going to be more than fine with what YOU are doing, maybe the TWO of you are saving too much. There have been points in my life where I probably saved too much and should have spent more. We’re trying to find a balance while still...
Individually or jointly?
Geez, take it easy on the OP. A million dollars is nice, but it’s not the huge sum it used to be. And for the folks that don’t do it, keeping track of your net worth is a good idea. Knowing what goes in to that number helps greatly with financial planning and...
Found out this guy had canines. Which according to the interwebs, is pretty rare. It was the first time I’ve seen it. I thought that was pretty neat.
So I’ll wrap with this: I started to tell this story back in November as a “what would you do?” because I was conflicted about pulling the...
With that done I hopped back in the blind to finish out the day. It was pretty uneventful. The neighboring trespasser showed up with a couple hours to go. My buck was propped up about 30 yards from his stand and I think he must have noticed it based on the way he stood there looking at it for...
So, another swim meet and some time to wrap this up.
By the time I found him and took some photos it was early afternoon and getting warm fast - low to mid 40s maybe. I waffled on whether or not to gut him right away or if he could lay for four hours until dark. I decide that the only sure...
