    Oregon Seceding?

    https://jeffersonoutfitters.com/jeffersonhistory/the-xx/ Well actually it all started in 1852 or before. My wife said she remembers discussing it in grade school class in Grants Pass in the early 1950's.

    Oregon Seceding?

    Variations of this plan have been championed since the early 1950's. I don't think it will happen any time soon.

    "Well, you came up here for adventure, didn't ya?"

    The first year I guided out of Happy Valley (pump station #2) ... I had no experience up there in the tundra country. When I asked if you keep food or game meat aways away from the tent ... that got a big laugh. They said keep that food inside and the game meat / capes piled next to it or it...

    Black Bear Tags

    Unit #1 which is the mainland in SE Ak is mostly over the counter tags. Unit's #2 & #3 are draw or guided. The mainland basically has no roads, so access is by vessel or float plane. It takes some logistical planning but a very good Bear hunt can be put together. I would say the largest Bears...

    Ancient Indian art

    On a rock shelf along the Portland Canal south of Hyder, Ak. A very old Native painting of a sun & some other things. Almost gone from view because of the lichen growing on the rock.

    Bear Hide Prep

    When you skin it just make sure the pevis sheath & nut sack or vaginal orafice stays on the hide. Run your skinning cut right alongside.

    Avoiding the High and Dry

    We were able to struggle the skiff to the water, and get a hunt on. That is a 16ft / 30hp. You won't move an 18ft boat, you will be stuck like Velcro. Study the tide book for when you are going to be hunting. The best tides for hunting is low water and incoming. If it's low tide in the late...

    Making the ferry to Hollis at Ketchikan?

    I would not plan on making that ferry connection. Wheels down at 2:45 will not be enough time. They start boarding the ferry at 2:30 and are closing the gates usually by 3:15 or before. 3:30 departure is not 3:30 last call boarding time. Like npaden suggests your options are fly over on Island...

    SE Alaska Fishing

    There is Halibut fishing early, middle & late season. They are a migratory fish so it gets better as the feed gets better as the season goes on. Herring start things off in April and it's like dominos after that through Oct. Pick some dates (have alternatives) that fit into your schedule and...

    SE Alaska Fishing

    Ketchikan offers good Halibut (and other bottom fish) fishing. Outside waters on the west coast of Prince of Wales is very good fishing. There are plenty of Guides / lodges to choose from in Craig and Klawock but I'm sure bookings are good, so I wouldn't hesitate. While being Guided you can...

    Is it luck? W. Oregon rifle draws/hair tags

    The winter Cow hunt looks like a hard draw for all 3 Alsea hunts. Just a few tags. I've been putting in hoping to get lucky. Same as the Unit 618 Doe tag. I don't see how someone could draw either of those tags consistently.

    Coastal black bear + fishing guide/outfitter recommendation and tips?

    Some areas in SE are draws and some are OTC. There are very good OTC areas to hunt. Most of SE is remote and will require logistics and hunt planning. In AK a Guide & an Outfitter are basically the same thing. A Transporter (is Licensed) offers transport for you your gear & your game to and from...
