    Last Day to Update Your Credit Card for Arizona Draw

    I’d like to draw all 3 I put in for, 1 would make me happy, but I expect none. I know it’s too early, but I check 16 times a day for the last three days.

    Nebraska poachers fined over $200,000

    Right, so the total cost divided by all the counts boils down to He equivalent of $77 a charge. Or am I incorrect? Regardless my opinion is unchanged that it’s far too lenient a judgment.

    Nebraska poachers fined over $200,000

    So if I read that article correctly, he forfeited his rifle and paid $7,500? I gather the remainder of the fines are for other defendants combined amounts. If that is correct, and assuming on the top end for his rifle, let’s say somewhere in the neighborhood of $15,000 total cost to that...

    Teddy Coming Down

    My wife is a teacher, and last year was told she could no longer bring a certain snack in that she made for years because it was called “plantation crunch” and that was offensive. How is the word plantation offensive? I understand a connection, but perhaps I’m mistaken in thinking that the...

    So that’s it for the whale hunt. Pic heavy posts today. More another time, actually I’ll see about posting some tomorrow or the next day about “wet mitt pass“.

    Growing up in the Canadian arctic

    I am quite jealous of your hunt. That’s on my hunt bucket list, maybe one year.... I think I made mention previously, but being out on the tundra, just the thought of it, completely ruined my academic career later in life. After we moved, and to this day, I constantly daydream of being back...

    Facebook Is At It Again

    Oh this is a lively one to watch... I don’t have a dog in the fight with FB. I got rid of mine years ago so my mom couldn’t stalk me anymore. Now I have a secret Twitter for my wife and friends. Hope my mom isn’t on HT.... I still want that inheritance. no shirt no shoes no service. You don’t...

    Growing up in the Canadian arctic

    Long post, apologies… Thanks to all. I’m glad people get enjoyment out of his life and stories. It was my childhood, but it was his life, and I’m just trying to share his experiences as they fascinate me, and as much as anyone might enjoy reading about it, I enjoy reliving it when I post the...

    When you’ve missed all your draws

    Right? I’ve managed to not be drawn for a single species in a single zone in 7 years. So it was always OTC hunts for me.

    Growing up in the Canadian arctic

    Well said.i know that at least for me it’s the whole experience. While as a kid we thought nothing of it, really, since it was merely how we got our food. Now I see it completely differently, since I can get just about any food I want relatively easily. So hunts for me now are all about the...

    Growing up in the Canadian arctic

    Some more pictures, this from a more local cultural perspective, back to hunting pictures next... This was a common game, although I was never good at it as a kid, the object being to kick the hanging object. I was always impressed with the vertical ability of some of the competitors. These...

    Epic trophy room in progress

    My presumption was North American species. The tusks seem to be the barrier to an African room. Maybe one for each continent?

    Epic trophy room in progress

    It’s possible. We have one, but my parents imported it decades ago. And it wasn’t terribly easy even at the time.

    Growing up in the Canadian arctic

    Sounds awesome. I know there are quite a few here from Alaska that could give you a wealth of info. Some more I found, just prior to my family moving up north. My Dad was always interested in wildlife prior to his time in the Arctic, and also spent a lot of time trapping, and raising and...

    Time for some to go elsewhere

    Man, I’ve been having problems logging in lately.....

    Another reminder why you are armed in the woods at all times anymore!

    I’ve run across a couple of meth labs in out of the way areas in AZ, 6a and 6b. Called it in both times. Once my father came across one and was paralleled by a guy with an AK for about a mile. Called that one in too.

    Scent Control

    Since you asked for thoughts... I’m super curious to see others think as well. In my opinion since I have no sources to reference, is that it might work immediately after use as a cover up, but you can’t truly eliminate your scent. That being more true the longer the hunt. That being said I...

    Growing up in the Canadian arctic

    The internet is rather slow here, so it will be a few more at a time... The inside of the barge. Obviously we never rode inside it, but any chance to explore something different was welcome. I remember every year when we knew the barge was coming in, sitting on the shore waiting for it and...

    Growing up in the Canadian arctic

    Thanks to all. Means a great deal to me that people appreciate seeing it, as my father spent decades of his life living a life I am truly envious of. I left when I wasn’t even a teenager. My parents were both educators, and when he was younger than I am now, received a phone call asking if he...

    Growing up in the Canadian arctic

    Sorting through my pictures still, kills the quarantine time at work... My Dad teaching me how to shoot. Our school. One of my Dads favorite flight memories that he often spoke of was a time when the pilot (not this one) was very clearly drunk. My father asked (mid flight) if he...
