I respectfully disagree. For me I personally am confident enough to pick places where they always drop in there tracks. Often using light for game caliber. However this op is about kids. Often shooting there 1st big game animal. Using low recoil rifles. The op was about a perfectly placed...
All our youth hunters new and old go through a training of sorts. We have a range at camp from 25yds to 100yds. Lots of steel plates. They start with .22 and learn everything. safety and shooting from the bench, freehand, bipod and shooting sticks. Once they have that down and the basics...
I have a 6.5 cm shooting 129grain bergers. Another shooting 129gr Hornady whitetail. Both have been very deadly on deer with no issues. They either dropped in there tracks or under 10yds. I have one set up with 143 gr eldx and a suppressor. Used on a recent Caribou hunt. A junior wanted to...
The medic situation had nothing to do with my daughters attractiveness. Quite the opposite. If anything he was verbally abusive toward her. My daughter has extensive training in how to handle these students as well as a Masters degree in it. This is what she does and has always wanted to do...
Sitting here talking to my daughter about it right now. She reported it to her boss who said "they don't need reported they need educated" let it go. Guess her boss doesn't know her to well. She is typically super easy going. Extremely patient and understanding. But letting mistreatment of...
So I am sure lots of folks deal with people who are poor at their job. Or simply insane. Today my daughter called me fairly upset. Her story is someone who fits both categories. And probally should find a new job or at least get some training.
My daughter is a special education teacher...
I should have labeled this things you see and don't see in Pulaski
Things I did see
You see more guys with reels downside up then I have ever seen. Be it fly or spinning
Lots of guys who not only don't know how to fish for salmon but don't know how to fish at all
Guys buying 1 day license...
I am up right now for our annual trip. Its always a good time. I never take it to seriously. The fish are easy to catch. And are not good eating IMO. Although plenty of people get excited to eat them. There is so many people its crazy. And they take it way serious. Seams every year I run...
So my wife just called and asked if I care if she orders Scandinavian swimmers. Apparently my answer of we only have 3 spare bedrooms and food could get expensive so just a couple was not correct. I am now told it is candy you order online and not 6' tall blondes that do the back stroke. Go figure
All my "secret spots" are known by my life long hunting partner and vise versa. I have no problem with him hunting those spots if it is currently better then his. Same the other way. Our wives also know that even if we are not together we know where the other is. Outside of that very few...
Answer to the original question. AK during that time of year in my favorite Alaskan places is going to probally be a bug fest. First 10days of June you might stand a chance. So I would say Copper River Valley with the wife. Princess lodge to keep her happy. Do all the typical. Maybe float...
Took my wife there for all but 4 days. Showed her pictures prior of "The Swiss Alps" of Alaska. Pics of goats and bear taken from the parking lots in Valdez. Pics of Old Valdez. She was excited to see what I had been talking about for so long. Rainy and cloudy everyday. Couldn't see jack.
Memorable moments of the trip;
1 of the guys had something audibly sniffing around his tent loud enough to wake him up. It was at his head and physically bumped into his head before running off. We are thinking fox. But who knows. Didn't sound big enough to be a bear
Local guy from a...
The one that got away. Came to 81yds and took off. One of our guys with a bow was on him. Exceptional bull IMO. 80yds was his max distance. The bull never slowed down or stopped moving
I do not have any pictures. I carried a shoulder and hind quarter along with rack and skull plus my gear. I was out of straps and struggled with it shifting as I navigated tundra. When turning to get up from taking sitting breaks velcro was pulling loose. Lashed it with paracord...
