    That is what it's all about. How could you have had a better time. Great to get out with the kids.

    Chasing Geese is great - catching some is what I am missing.

    I spent three days testing the hardness of the mud on this delta. Mud flats in Alaska do kill, so I have been working to stay alive. I cell phoned people and gave them my GPS location and had a VHF radio with me, but we all know that would only let them find the body if the boat did not...

    Chasing Geese is great - catching some is what I am missing.

    Delta is kicking my teal. High wind/high waves keep me off the delta most days, so I do a lot of camping watching white caps. Four miles of mud flats to cross makes for shallow water very quick. Three miles of deep water before even getting to mud flats makes for big waves. Mud motors do not do...

    Sheep and moose combo

    The perfect moose is any 4 wheeler moose! Looks like you had a great time out in this wonderful part of the world. Thanks for sharing. My buds could not go this year, so I didn't.

    Great buck - we're starting plans for next year I too like your hunting partner. Does he let you know when bears are around? Two buddies are wanting for us to take my boat on a deer hunt, so I'm starting to look that way for 2010 season. Boating over from Homer. I have not hunted there since...

    One duck - no place to hunt but very calm water. Some day I will get in to the birds. We had a good camping trip but no birds. Must be becasue it was too easy getting to.

    Sept. 1 - Opening day in Alaska

    Going on overnight trip. Got the wife to go on this trip, just a overnight trip, so I'll go to an area that does not have 5 miles of mud flats to cross. Hope is for some ducks, no hope of geese in this area, but want the heck. It's good to get the wife out - first time in many, many years. She...

    Adventure - how about 1400 miles on three different - no make that 4 rivers to hunt moose. Had to leave two jet boats in Yukon village through winter because the river was icing up and jets don't like ice. We grabbed our rifles and what meat was left, caught a plane to Fairbanks and drove 700+...

    Mother Nature in Alaska just punctuated my comments! Mt. Redoubt just went off again. It's just 39 or 49 miles (I forget which) out my back door. We can't see anything because of fog. No surphur smell so it must be going some other direction.

    Sept. 1 - Opening day in Alaska

    Most hunting trips in Alaska are true adventures. You do truly have to watch what is going on around you - mother nature does things in a big way here. Adventure can be measured in different ways. I once drove over 2200 miles one way to hunt Greater Canadians - just me and my dog. That dog...

    After 10+ years - finally got to this remote area and yes I was the only hunter there I studied delta area for a day and half to learn I had it figured right from the start. Big boat anchored in cove 7 miles from hunting area and have 5 miles of mud flats to get past before hunting can start...

    Sept. 1 - Opening day in Alaska

    Made the trip - took 10 hours - got to the harbor slip right at midnight. Made the trip by myself, so 10 hours of steering made me a tried old man. Got a few hours of sleep after securing the boat to the floating dock. The wife drove down to pick me up. The plan was to go home and trailer the...

    Sept. 1 - Opening day in Alaska

    Not much cover where I am going - stay low in the grass. I'm going in by boat from Kachemak Bay out of Homer. Camping on my big boat and going to the killing grounds by skiff. 20+ foot Tide makes for a timing thing. To answer what I do on the North Slope is Control/Instrument Tech. I retired...

    Sept. 1 - Opening day in Alaska

    man, the Spec's were looking good on the North Slope of Alaska a few days ago. I left the Slope on the 13th. - the crew called to tell me the birds starting leaving a day ago. I'm working hard to finish the Honey does and got to get the big boat from Kenai to Homer a couple days before the end...

    Kodiak deer hunt

    Sounds like Gary may live on Kodiak? Gary, Sure sounds like you've made many Kodiak deer hunts. Do you agree that first of the year a plane puts you more in to deer country than a boat. Later in winter the deer are lower and therefore closer to water. I've thouhgt about starting a drop-off...

    Kodiak deer hunt

    Oak's trip sound normal for Alaska. As long as you plan for a trip like Oak's, your be ok. Make sure to carry food for 2-3 days longer trip you start out. Flights home can get delayed because of weather. I do not know about PWS by air - everyone I know uses boats. best tasting dear I have ever...

    Kodiak deer hunt

    Islands and only one has enough deer to hunt. You will have to have help getting around in Alaska. Years ago we shoot a couple deer from the road, but the advice already on this thread is up to date and you should depend on it. Get ready to pay for some transportation. Transporters can be found...
