    Does 25 make me well-known? Nope - still Junior.

    Ethics in hunting, the story of my once in a lifetime Buck....

    I have thoroughly enjoyed this... read through the whole thing and laughed until I cried. To whoever runs this site: you must allow childish foolishness like this to blossom. I remember having the same kind of fun on AOD many years ago - then fun was squashed and the site died. So did the...

    2024 Dall Sheep / Caribou hunt - Alaska

    Ouch. Just realized 2024 will be my season of the 40th birthday. Good thing I got a sheep at 29, because there are very few to find now.

    AK Sheep, Population Observations

    The good news would be that with no sheep on the mountain, a wounding loss rate of 5% will be a low number. The bad news is that there are no sheep on the mountain.

    AK Sheep, Population Observations

    This thread has been mostly ram-centric, as it should be for a hunting talk. But taking sub-legal rams and second degree of kindred has nothing to do with the lack of ewes on the mountain. There just aren't many sheep!

    Property owner takes trail cam

    I agree that a conversation is in order, but it seems pretty cut-and-dried to me. Either the camera was on one side of the line or the other. If it was on private property, then an apology is in order, and the same is true if it was on public land, just from the other party. Public land isn't...

    Archery Coyote kill

    I got a little cross fox with my bow while I was looking for moose the other day. Wasn't pleased with the fur damage though, even though it was a clean pass through. Don't guess I'll make my bow the go-to predator harvest tool.

    TTSX out of 300 wm?

    I harvested a caribou, black bear, sheep, mountain goat, and moose out of the same box of 180 gr. TTSX - regular old Barnes brand off the shelf. My T3 30-06 has always liked the 180s, so I never tried anything else. Because I am not a match grade marksman, I generally practice with something...

    The Rokslide Stock Traders Thread

    Seems like I would have been better off to try stock shorting, as almost everything I have touched has tanked. How do I become a bear, and how is it possible for stocks to always go down?

    The Rokslide Stock Traders Thread

    Do you suppose any of these gold-backed cryptos have a chance or is it a flash in the pan? I guess I don't understand what a gold crypto does that physical gold wouldn't do.. except not weigh as much.

    The Rokslide Stock Traders Thread

    I pretty much got into active trading from reading this board. Figured I'd start with a hundred dollars here and there and try to learn what's going on. Then I put a few hundred more into one.. and again. I can't decide how to value price targets and timelines though - now I've doubled my...

    Fishing off the bank in Hawaii

    Greetings, all. Will be on Oahu for a week with the family and I'm curious what might be worth trying to catch from the shore. I've done the charter boat thing and I'm not really wanting to do that again. Just something DIY. Would a paddleboard help my chances? Shrimp on the bottom or swimming...

    GMU 11 Wrangell-St. Elias Moose Pop and Timing on Velvet Shedding

    Access is probably your biggest problem in 11. There are a few motorized trails and then there are the millions of acres.

    ADFG page is moving slow. I suppose everyone stopped watching stocks for a few minutes to check the draw - which still isn't posted. Any thoughts on HPNN?

    Pants for mid Sept out of Kotzebue

    The Unpronounceable Puffy is crucial on every hunt. Light pants for walking, then slide into the Unpronounceable Puffy for the glassing session - just like being back in the sleeping bag. Light pants + puffy + rain garment is a combo that's hard to beat.

    4 Cubs

    There was a sow at Brooks River in Katmai who raised four cubs a couple of years ago.

    Haul Road questions

    One thing we learned is that the spare under the truck will be covered in a terrible road mud that will make the job of changing a tire much worse. Maybe a second one in the bed would have been the way to go. They will patch a tire in Coldfoot.

    Haul Road questions

    The road is no worse (and probably better) than others in Alaska. If your tires are in good shape, one spare should be plenty. Hard to say about 2wd because it's always possible that there will be a foot of snow that time of year. The extra gas is nice because it keeps you from driving to...
