    Asking for advise

    Hello folks. I built our cabin so our kids will always have a place to go hunt in Alaska. Actually not just hunting, just getting out into a wild place, bush ak. This last fall I invited Jordan Jonnas from the TV show alone to come up hunting. Him and his buddy had a good time and Jordan had a...

    West coast salmon recovery

    We have a remote cabin. I am aware that if there is a forest fire I might loose it. Goes with the territory. I certainly don't want or need the insurance companies or government to protect me or my property. Or expect it. Because there might be a forest fire and maybe fire retardant may be used...

    Wyoming extends shed closure

    I hunt for moose antler drops. I can't see what difference it makes. Except folks can't go hunting for antlers. Just going out for a walk in the bush. I suspect there is a huge difference in pressure put on animals if one compared it to meat hunting. And when outdoorsfolks start...

    Met a new friend hunting

    Thanks for your support folks. This hunt was a big deal for me. I was able to get out for a week earlier in the season n get the cabin ready. I had a 6 wheeler sitting at the lake 2 miles away from the cabin for 2 years. Was pretty worried that the bears would have destroyed it. But they only...

    Met a new friend hunting

    A few months ago I took a chance. And it worked out very well. I emailed Jordan Jonnas from the TV show alone and asked him if he would like to go moose bear wolf hunting with me. And he accepted the offer ! My beautiful wife doesn't like me going out to the cabin by myself. And I've had...

    What is your single top hunting season goal this year? I expect updates damn it.

    Well I have already had the most important goal happen. I made it out to our cabin after 3 years of healing up. Broken up neck the last time. The ol body was rode hard n put away wet. But it was sure fun ! Actually I was in a dark place for a while. This was a real healing process for...

    Going out moose hunting today

    Eh back from a week that has been one of the best weeks of my life. There is something about the bush that is healing. A buddy that helped me stake this land flew his piper cub out. He's a great woodsman so that really helps. We got a 6 n 4 wheeler running and plenty of firewood put up. And the...

    Going out moose hunting today

    Thanks for the support folks. I needed some yesterday. My plans were way over what I should have had. Hopefully a good omen, when we were unloading the plane the pilot heard a cow moose bellow. Kinda early but hormones flowing. I was worried that bears would tear up the 6 wheeler stranded...

    Fair Price For Selling Antlers?

    I believe brown implies that it is fresh. Not a few years old. Moose antlers made great dog chews. Caribou are a bit softer. Fresh moose sold as a chew demands up to 30$ a pound.
