    Describe your fishing boat; the features it has; and explain why you chose it

    No pictures, and my boat ain't near as nice as y'alls. I got a 16 foot Jonboat with a 40 hp Mercury with a jet foot. It'll run about 25 mph in three inches of water with two guys and fishin' gear. I've had three guys, hunting gear, and three caribou in the thing (about double the listed...

    Do you practice 'Selective harvest'?

    We don't got no crappie, no bass, no catfish, no walleyes, no bluegills, no perch...and you guys always heard Alaska fishing's great. Oh,yeah, there's the salmon, the pike, the salmon, the grayling, the salmon, dollies, the salmon, the halibut, the salmon...etc. I don't keep a lot of fish, a...

    Paper tuning

    How do ya do it? I had somebody else help me out the first time, but I've changed rests and cranked up the poundage since then. I'm also thinking of changing arrows, so I gotta tune the thing before I go shootin' it. Not that I'm really in a rush, still stuck overseas for the next month and a...

    favorite arrows???

    So far 2315 XX75s, but I want to go a bit lighter and am thinkin' maybe carbon...Beman ICS Hunter 400?... Hunting caribou up here, there will be some long shots, and I'd like to shoot a bit flatter. Having only killed one big game animal (with the bow), I obviously haven't used the same arrow...

    how many bows?

    I bought a Mathews MQ32 to replace my Hoyt mystic Rebel. I still have the Hoyt, but I loaned it to a friend, and don't know if he'll ever give it back. I'll only use the Hoyt if I tear up the Mathews and have to wait to get it fixed. That MQ32 is a sweet bow!

    Alaskan airtaxi scheduling...

    If he doesn't take you at your word (he requires a deposit), why should you take his? Before I send somebody two grand, you bet your arse he's gonna put something in writing. If you have dealt with the company before and are comfortable with it, then you could forego the paperwork. If he...

    How Do You shoot your bow?!??!

    Thumb behind neck, and nose touching the string, then jerk the release, grip bow tightly, and watch the arrow careen wildly into space...swear at myself, then try again, a little more smoothly, with grip hand open.

    Recurve at eBay LOL

    Hey, quit makin' fun of my bow! I string 'em all like that, even my compound...That'd be a trick, huh? I'm betting it was ignorance, rather than stupidity.

    Best value in an ATV

    I like Polaris, with the true four-wheel drive, but from what I hear, Honda is the most reliable. I've got a Kawasaki Bayou 300 that's been through hell, and I've had to dump a lot into it to keep it going. I don't know if any other brand would have held up better, but I'll try Polaris, Honda...

    New Matthews SOlO Cam Bow ???????

    I have the Mathews MQ-32, and really like it a lot. It's short, light, fast enough, and very manueverable. It's absolutely silent compared to my Hoyt Mystic, and I don't have string silencers on it, just the Limb Savers. Mine's a 2000 model I got in Feb 2000 for $500. I like what I'm hearing...

    Wher are you hunting in 2001 ?!?!?!

    I've been up that way, maybe the same trail you hunt. I've heard there's a guy that hunts up one trail, who seems to think it's private property, because he's hunted there forever. The trail is probably 35 miles long he sets up about 10 or 12 miles in, in the middle of the trail, and gives you...

    Wher are you hunting in 2001 ?!?!?!

    Ray, sounds like you hunt the same place I do, I go about a hundred miles in the truck, then down 8 miles of swamp before I get out to my campin area. Just like you, I don't plan on giving away precise location, though. Where in AK are you from? Anyway, back on subject...I plan to hunt moose...

    What should A guy plan for as far as gear to bring when going to AK

    Like Reggae says, bugs are definitely a problem just about anytime the temperature's above freezing. Sometimes it's mosquitoes, sometimes blacklfies or "no-see-ums". Bug dope and head nets are strongly recommended. For most of the hunting situations up here the smell of bug dope is not a big...

    What should A guy plan for as far as gear to bring when going to AK

    Moosie, The gear you should bring will be determined by when and where you go, and what kind of accomodations you'll have. Are you planning a do-it yourself hunt, drop-off with your own gear, drop-off at an outfitter's established camp, or fully guided? I could run down a long list of what to...

    ALASKA......

    I didn't get to see Santa this year...I'm over in the Middle East now. I'll be back in March. I don't mind missing the winter up there, the weather over here's a bit nicer!
