The first time I took my wife out hunting with me in college, I had a doe fawn tag and she was along for the experience. We got to within 80 yards of a herd that was walking past us, and the first five or six animals that walked past were shed bucks. Once a doe cleared and gave me a good shot I...
Yeah I wouldn’t want to do the delivery side either unless it was a rural route. I really like working on the automation side of things. It’s pretty fascinating stuff and with the way things are going it’s good job security.
Yeah a lot of the delivery done by all 3 organizations mentioned is contracted so that doesn’t surprise me. I’ve worked for two of the 3 on the processing and maintenance sides. They’re demanding jobs with a lot of OT, but they can be pretty financially rewarding and offer quite a bit of time...

Yeah, it got me thinking earlier about how winter range is defined. There are obviously some areas that are used pretty extensively year in and year out, with the animals making elevation adjustments based on snow and adjustments based on available feed. These areas are easier to define and...
On certain winter ranges, yeah, I’m all for it. And like someone else mentioned, we already close a lot of critical winter ranges to all human presence, so this isn’t a novel concept. I think this is the preferable way to do things, but it gets messier on public lands in those “closed to shed...
The only thing that bugs me about shed closures is when it’s only closed to shed hunting and not all human presence. It’s not about the fact that a person can’t shed hunt, I don’t care about that. If an area needs a shed closure, which many places do, it should be closed to all human presence...
Oh yeah. That wasn’t a shot at Canadians or a complaint by any means. I honestly think they do a great job with their border security.
But I can tell you, if you roll up to the border looking like dirty hippies with a truck that’s packed to the gills cause your moving to Alaska, you’re gonna...
