Backpack Hunt POW 2019
Look at Hollis Adventure Rentals. A truck and a skiff would be the most fun if you have some boat savvy. Plenty of places to launch on the road system.- Calvin

POW options
Any mountain on POW has bucks in the alpine region in Sept. Sometimes the aren't right on top, but often in bowls and on the fringe that time of the year. Glass is important as they lose that orange tint in Sept. The north end would be good, but keep in mind they've closed a ton of roads on...- Calvin

Kodiak vs. POW...which one?
You are looking at two completely different experiences with Kodiak and POW. The only thing the same is the deer. Sitka's are native on POW, and grow rather big there. Big ones on Kodiak too though. But, POW is a rainforest and weather can suck beyond belief. POW gets a lot of pressure too...- Calvin

Ketichikan lodging?
The Narrows Inn is probably your best bet if looking for not ghetto, but cheaper than the Best Western. Best Western is the easiest though. Right across the street from the ferry.- Calvin

CO Question
I'm going to give CO elk a shot next fall. Can anybody point me in the right direction for finding a map with trailheads on public land, and where the trails go? Also, would it make any sense to rent a $19.95 a day u-haul cargo van, and use that as my base camp? Or do the roads get crazy... -
Ketchikan AK fishing trip
If you are serious about fishing, do yourself a favor and say away from the cruise ship charters. Come up for a 3 or 4 day trip, and then you can see what we really have to offer.- Calvin

Ketchikan AK fishing trip
Not sure where you are getting your info. Here's the deal on SE AK charters. Limits this year are a bit tougher for kings. After July 1st, 2 kings annual limit, non-res. 1 after July 15th. Coho limits stay the same at 6. For charter, the halibut limit is 1 per day, over 68" or under...- Calvin

Officially a pit bull hater
Hate pit bulls myself. Some of the biggest puzzies in the world have pit bulls, to make up for who they are. I'll shoot all pit bulls on sight if they come on my property. Every drug dealing loser in my area has a pit bull.- Calvin

AK deer hunt ideas
Hard to say "Trophy hunting" and Sitka (the town) in the same sentence. Baranof has some decent bucks, but I can't recall a book buck ever coming off of Baranof,expecially close to Sitka. (used to live there) Beautiful place, but trophy hunting takes place on Kodiak and Prince of Wales... -
Changes to Hunt Talk
haha, yeah, I see amazon.com ads, as well as shutterfly. Two sites my wife frequents and recently made purchases from. I have been suckered in by those ads though. I was looking at snowshoes on backcountry.com. For the next week I saw those dang snowshoes on just about every website I went...- Calvin

Hobby: Day Trading?
That's the million dollar question. I exit when I get that feeling that I should exit. I've been wrong a bunch of times and got out way too early, but that' the way it goes. If I get nervous, I stick a limit sell on what I have. I've broken even more times than I'd like to admit. Days...- Calvin

Student loan question
I guess it just depends on the job you want, how much you want to make, and how much/little you want to do. History degrees, as well as a lot of other degrees go very far for those wanting .gov jobs, city jobs, state jobs, teaching jobs, etc. The benefits are killer, and the pay is usually...- Calvin

Student loan question
Always pay off debt. If you can, pay it off and be done with it forever. 3% is 3%,and it's nothing but a ball and chain that could prevent you from taking a risk down the road that could make you more money. The only acceptible debt is a house, and you better be making some sizable extra...- Calvin

Hobby: Day Trading?
Whew, that's too complicated of a chart for this fisherman. haha Buy low, sell high. That's as complicated as I get. (grin) Keep an eye on things you know about. A guy could have made a killing on Cabelas if he was paying attention 5 years ago. Something like 10x your money as it has a...- Calvin

Hobby: Day Trading?
Best advice is to not get greedy. Every gain is a gain. First rule of course is to have money to invest. Nothing makes you money like money, but you have to be realistic about your gains. If you are expecting to take $1,000 and turn it into a guided sheep hunt in 6 months, you are in for some...- Calvin
