I always get a kick out of the adds for Alaska sea food, adds bought and paid for by the comfish industry. Wild Caught and sustainable. Sure, at some level it’s’ sustainable……. Then there are the memos that came via the freedom of information act regarding not studying populations of some...
I guess I'm glad to see this, we sent a memorandum of concern about 12 years ago to ADFG. We, Dad, got a phone call suggesting he stay retired. He had been the director of the EPA marine and freshwater ecology division.
The decline in kings has been dramatic, hope we don't have to import them...
Alaska is the canary in the coal mine. The climate changes since we moved there 65 years ago have been significant. I'm not all doom and gloom but denying change regardless the cause, well those folks just haven't spent enough time watching.
Some do most just moved off quickly. The one on the left ran off and thrashed around in the trees. The second one, a three year old I figured, pushed us down from up above, about 100 yards. Typical teenage shit. She spun at the blast, ran up river past where the photo dumps off the to the right.
Don’t over think the wind guys. I’ve literally sprayed dozens of bears and only recall considering the wind once. What you don’t want to do is stand where the bear last saw you when you spray.
This is just remarkable. I remember when the whole thing started in the Great Lakes. I may yet have to go east instead of north for great fishing. Silvers on a fly, bright kings on the table. God was awful good to us.
I had a Magneto speed for 8 years or so. No issues at all other than point of impact shift generally and occasionally an improvement in group size. Some one mentioned hard kickers, mine spent a lot of time on a 338 Jarrett with no malfunctions.
Picked up a Garmin a month ago. Dang thing is...
Wife and I and the dogs headed back to the truck this morning. No bears, no sheds, no Turkeys, a few shrooms and then this guy and his girls walked out of the trees. Considered several options but decided to just let him move off. Tough life he’s got.
Grand daughter is a highschool freshman. Made it to the state championships over in Eugene. Finished 4th in the 4x400 and she is just learning how to run and compete.
My first, with able support from both my parents, was up at Paxsen lake outside of Ft. Wainwright Alaska. We were camped in one of those army tents, center ridge pole kind of thing. 1960 I was six. Shot that bear right between the eyes as he came through the door with my Steven’s rolling block...
When we killed the one coming in the cabin we called the troopers in the morning. You would have thought we were reporting a vehicle with a flat tire for all the interest they showed:) I can only imagine what it would be like in Montana to shoot a grizz.
Wayne York is a top-notch gun smith. Slow as molasses but very very busy. I have one of his stocks on one of my Jarretts. I know he and his son are #1 fans but I’ve never put one of his stocks on a #1. Talked to folks who have or seen theirs shoot. He knows his way around #1s as well. P-ham is...
This was handy, my 300 HH upper left, Great wood :) 257 Roberts in Wyoming sept. 275 Rigby in Montana near Ennis. Nothing to show there:( That is all the gun porn I’ve got handy.
I’m not telling how many I have now. Next will probably be a 450/400 or a 416 Rigby. My first criteria is the wood. I’m pretty well set up to 375, could actually justify a 35 Whelen come to think of it. My favorite is my 275 Rigby, or perhaps the 300 HH but really the 375 is pretty nice.
