    Closure of Caribou and Moose hunting in NW Alaska - again...

    As Dave N wrote. Hunt till extinction. The federal management system is considered passive management. With 0 being acceptable. Let nature be nature. But that is not reality as humans are part of the picture. Look towards Anatuvik Island where caribou are facing extinction by wolves which will...

    Wild Game gaining popularity/acceptance?

    I don't understand what Rogan has to do with cooking wild game or popularity to hunting. He is paid to be a shock jockey and do a talk show. I've never heard his stuff. But could be a good guy when he's not on air. Maybe he has different opinions than me. So what. We all do. And adding...

    Wild Game gaining popularity/acceptance?

    I don't see any problem with folks growing game behind a fence and selling the meat. As long as they are treated humanely. And if folks want to hunt game animals that are fenced, that's fine. Not my bag. But i can't blame them for wanting to go harvest the meat they eat. As far as more...

    Fatal grizzly encounter

    May the Good Lord help this family and watch over our first responders. Bear , human encounters happen. Fatal attacks are rare but garner a lot of emotions. And newspaper headlines. You'll have that. As has been stated management plans for brown/grizzly bear should be followed. That's...

    Alpine Happiness

    Just sooooo beautiful, thanks for the pictures folks. Been a while since I've been caribou hunting. I love the mountains n just looking at them. They can be mesmerizing and then take you for the ride of a lifetime. The mountain grizzly bear is also a sight. Strong compact for a brown bear...

    The moose i scared to death

    Yeah this was actually the second time. First time was an 8 point whitetail. Walked past me 40 feet away, right over to my buddy. This was a crazy trip. I still remember my buddies giving me stuff because we couldn't find any bullet damage.

    Canyons of Life

    Hey JLS that's great man ! Remember who job it is to set an example. Just a suggestion but getting the thought of kicking your daughters ass would be a good place to start changing about how you approach your daughters. They are not perfect, and neither are we. Sometimes if folks can take just...

    Closure of Caribou and Moose hunting in NW Alaska - again...

    As a resident familiar with the issues. And just a guy trying to feed my family. This is another attempt by a group that folks that feel that they deserve special rights. Our state constitution says all resources, including wildlife belong to the people equally. I can't say as I blame them for...

    How many days a year do you think about hunting?

    Nah I'm not obsessed. I grew up in northern WI and got to ak as a young man in love with everything outdoors. Good thing I learned what I did because we depended on moose, caribou, salmon, rockfish halibut n such. Wild berries. To feed our family for quite a few years. If I wasn't working I...

    Shed hunting with a dog

    I would suggest that you train her in a narrow run. Hallway or put up a fence 5' away from another fence for an outside enclosed run. Make it so the dog can't bolt or play games. Couple things here. Demonstrate your the boss. If the dog doesn't want to work correctly reduce the space your in so...

    WTH Alaska Department of Fish and Game

    I suspect that there may not be any documented boundary lines. And that the gmu boundary lines were set by the board of game. Most seem to follow a river or if there is a road it could be used. But most of the state is pretty remote and mountains. I guess if I thought I could possibly be...

    Hunting remote

    Right near the top of the list of things that turn my crank is being out in remote locations. We charter a bush plane to get to our cabin. I watch as he lifts. And flys on off. I always feel a kinda different feeling. I'm on my own. Just me n the world. Can't count on a phone but mine is...

    Hobbies other than hunting?

    Careful what you ask for. I've tried to hire folks to come stay at the cabin for a week or so n help finish it out. 30 bucks cash n can't find anyone. Oh well I like doing that work n kinda picky. Work for 10-12 hours n go for a snogo ride. Maybe find some moose antlers. Stock up on spruce...

    Hobbies other than hunting?

    I have too many. I'm into atvs n snogos. We built our cabin so going out there n hang out is fun. We homeschooled n now help raise our grandkids so animal husbandry is also important. We raise meat rabbits and have a big garden n greenhouse. I'm also into hot rods. I like my 79 El Camino n 76...
