    Drought for the west

    We’ve created much of the mischief ourselves. Ne Oregon, the Blue Mountains has been logged since the first pioneers built corduroy roads. More modern efforts targeted the best timber and we replanted to monoculture. Then there was fire fighting. Quite a bit of the Northern Blue Mountains was on...

    Anyone else getting antsy?

    Headed out this morning to get above the smoke, stumbled onto these. Didn’t see them all but appears all cows and calves.

    What is "the great American novel"?

    Mark Twain Huckleberry Finn; Hemingway, For whom the Bell tolls Jack London, I had read everything by the time I was 8. We didn’t have Tv in Alaska way back then.

    Drought for the west

    Well over a million acres burned in Oregon in the last two weeks with most of those fires still not under control. Add the drought, things are getting worrisome on the east side. Both my creeks are dry, one always drys up in mid September, I’ve never seen both dry. Going to town today to buy...

    Anyone else getting antsy?

    Well the fires in and around Britney Chukar man have absolutely destroyed our chukar hunting areas. That sucks. My deer draw in Oregon has burned to the ground almost entirely at this point. We’ll see what ODFW does about that. There is a small fire in my elk hunting area, that could be...

    Proud Grandpa, Happy Grandson

    I always like these kinds of Grand events. We always gave a substantial discount during Pink Salmon years to grandfathers bringing their grandsons, under 16, to Alaska. Kids would leave after a week of fishing, hooked for life and a future client. Actually did that program long enough we had a...

    Throttle controller?

    I sent my daughter down our road to the hwy with a rake several times. When that didn’t work a five gallon bucket half full of 1 3/4 minus emphasized the point. :)

    Floorless Tents and Creepy Crawlies

    Just remember to turn your boots over and shake them before you put them on, you’ll be fine.

    Alaska's McNeil River

    When I was guiding out on the Peninsula I would fly up there once or twice a week. Hike up to the falls, watch that show for a while and then fish the river down to the lodge. Entertaining to say the least. Well worth the trip.

    2024 all over again

    I was amazed at how fast that fire took off. Glad you’re ok for now. Just went down checking my steers and water in the creek. Damn grass is so dry and brittle, a month ahead of normal. Creek is drying up, going to need to buy a water trough or try for an early kill date for skinny beef. Can’t...

    Elk bullet in Grizzly country

    Yes. I but I like bonded bullets,or the Barnes, just in case things go a little wrong. I avoid bullets that come with the recommendation to stay off the shoulder. For things that can stomp or eat me; Swift A frame; Barnes tsx; Nosler Accubond or Partition. Have a great hunt! 20 years guiding in...
