    Black Friday Buck

    The day after Thanksgiving. . . .still recovering from the tremendous food from yesterday's meal. Relaxed having coffee with my wife watching a lovely sunrise over the bay. The boys were committed to working with a neighbor on another neighbor's house. . . doing their best to make progress...

    POW Sitka Blacktail 2021 DIY

    It was a beautiful day on the island today. You have hit a pretty darn good weather window. Some clouds, showers and then four days of sun starting Friday. The clouds will have the deer active longer during daylight.

    Ask your onX Hunt questions here!

    I use a mini Ipad. The offline maps either lock up, or take hours and hours to load. I live on the north end of Prince of Wales Island, AK, and we don't have cell service on the north half of the island. Offline reliability is a real safety issue in this country! On a hunt last week I turned on...

    A Family Hunts the North End of POW 2020

    All that low growth in the pics is called deer cabbage, and is a major summer food up in the alpine. When you are in places that look like those in the pics you are in the right place!

Camp went up quickly, and we spent the two hours before dinner time to walk a road that wound among some muskegs. We did see a doe and a fawn at a...

    POW Sitka Blacktail 2021 DIY

    The weather appears to be changing from hot and dry to wet. What that does for deer distribution will be determined when our subsistence hunt opens on Saturday. I'd guess there will be more deer up in the alpine than last year. That will depend on how badly the forage up in the alpine got sun...

    My Semi-Custom, sort of upgraded Tikka Build

    My son saved up his half and chose to buy a Veil in .308. I liked it so much I went and bought one!

    Drought for the west

    The drought projections from 10-15 years ago predicted this, which is a big reason why we moved to SE AK instead of the Rocky Mountain west. My thinking is this isn't a "drought" per-se, with an end point. This is the new normal of progressively hotter and drier conditions interspersed with an...
