    Teaching Pup to Swim Like An Otter

    I've had 8 labs over the years, and with some their first attempts at swimming are not pretty. Usually pup planes out returning with a bumper, but my latest pup thrashed like an egg-beater with head high, bottom down, and inefficient thrashing with front paws. I found the quickest way to teach...

    Biden Announces Lead Ammo/Lure Ban Across Eight National Wildlife Refuges by 2026

    For waterfowl hunting, the nation-wide the ban on lead shot has been an effective conservation tool in preventing the premature death of thousands of waterfowl. All my friends up here in Alaska have hunted exclusively with monolithic (lead-free) bullets for at least a decade. We like the...

    Gun Safes

    A different perspective.... I bought mine 30 years ago and it served me well. I bought it at Sams club for about $200. Yes I know....cheap, thin metal, etc. My goal was to retard theft by having a cheap safe bolted to the wall. If a drug addict breaks into the house, he is typically going to...

    The Future of “Big 3” Hunting in Montana.

    One theory up here in Alaska is the "predator pit" where moose populations drop below some critical threshold due to several bad winters then the population is slow to grow due to wolve predation. The "predator pit" theory is controversial though. See for example: Efficacy of Killing Large...

    Selling antlers in Montana?

    In Alaska it is legal to sell as long as the antlers or horns are not attached to the skull plate. If attached to the skull plate a permit from AK Fish and Game is required. What is the law on selling moose antlers or sheep horns in Montana? Thanks. Dave

    Is less more?

    One of my retirement dreams was to shoot more and improve as a shotgunner. In the past, living in rural Alaska there was only trap and that was the same day as our retriever club training day. So I only shot at live birds while hunting: ptarmigan in August, waterfowl in September/October in...
