    Moose and game bags

    Good advice on bringing a few tarps along. Keep the meat dry and clean. Some powdered citrus to mix with water to put on the meat to help keep the flies off. And some duct tape to tape the game bags closed, tightly ! The blow flies will try to get it the bags. A couple small smokey fires near...

    August Alaskan moose hunt

    Still hunting can be productive for locating moose. Just move slowly and keep searching around. Finding the correct browse is important, birch willow n such. Move around the edges of the heavy brush and birch forests. Good luck n have fun

    Old Iron

    I picked up an old model 94 a while back. Just handling this rifle feels nice. It seems like you can almost feel the original owners thoughts.

    Blueberry bushes

    We have a hapsap variety of blueberry bush. Over 8' around and tall. The birds will eat every berry if not protected. We have plastic mesh over them and if we don't stake the bird mesh to the ground they will climb under the mesh and eat the berries. The moose tend to prune them for us

    Public School Woes

    As a dad and now a granddad. We homeschooled our kids and now my beautiful wife homeschools our grandson. While his mom works a remote job. I can say this. Our kids grew up to be successful in their older lives. They are very family orientated. Just as we were. We did a lot together as a family...

    Do you get tired?

    No. I had to take a couple years of from hunting moose and hated it. Last year I was out at our cabin for a week, a couple of times. I used to spend 5 weeks out there. And hopefully will be doing this again. Having to stop getting out because of medical issues really hurt the ol soal. I'm...

    Winter Blues

    Yeah the northern lights are great. I enjoy getting out and cutting firewood on bright nights like we have been having. With the full moon. Add the northern lights and there is plenty of light for dropping trees n cutting them up. Freight them back to the cabin. While I was freighting...

    Winter Blues

    When it hits -20 I tend to not get out unless I have to. Vehicles break unexpectedly and bad things can happen. My beautiful wife n me were at our cabin one winter. We planned on spending a week there. I wanted to set a few traps around. And just get some cabin time. It got down to -25...

    Youth hunter motivation?

    The outdoors can have a lot to offer. Hunting is just one avenue. I would try to get them out every chance I have. I enjoy reading Fur Fish n Game magazine. And gave a few copies to our 7 year old grandson. He is going through every page looking at the pictures. And he keeps them under his...

    Dogs Male or Female

    After 2 male chessapeaks, we now have a female. They were all great family dogs that picked up training easily. But the female is just the best. Smarter and more obedient. And doesn't need to pee on everything. Including the neighbors stuff. We are not professional breeders so have our...

    A good year

    I still get to hang out with my family. Always great. And I was able to get out moose hunting again after missing 2 years. Broken neck and a lot of nerve damage. But that's healed up now. Out of the blue, I contacted Jordan Jonnas from the TV show alone and he accepted an offer to come up...

    Ambler Road Project comment deadline now Dec 31st 2023

    I'm another ak that is very familiar with this project. And I support it. As do the majority of Alaskans. Jobs in that part of the state are scarce. And needed, wanted. Seems like every resource developed project is opposed because it will be so terrible. The oil pipeline. The lead mine near...
