    fish recipes

    Keeping the slime off of filets will help. Another thing to do is soak fillets in vinegar, a trick to remove that fishy taste that bothers probably 50-75% of people. I can eat fish for breakfast, lunch, and dinner but my wife not so much. She has gotten over her pickiness as well as we have...

    Mountain Goat Books?

    You have any idea where to get a copy of that book by Ace Sommerfeld? I talked to the company that printed it a while back and they quit printing it years ago and didn’t have a clue where I could find a copy.

    Mountain Goat Books?

    These were pretty good, I enjoyed the whole series and thought it was about as informational for hunters as any podcast or book could be.

    Mountain Goat Books?

    Been trying to find that book for years for anything less than the prices you listed. Kicking myself for not just buying it 4 or 5 years ago before I knew I was going goat hunting.

    Dalton highway timing

    Every year is different than the next. Only way to find out is if you just go hunting.

    Alaska DIY drop camp question

    Until you've been around a dead mature AK bull and their sheer size, and actually handled and packed one a little bit, a solo hunt is probably not a good idea. I'm not saying it's not doable as it certainly is, but I can promise you there is no other animal in North America that requires the...

    Alaska Draw

    Drew 358 myself. Pretty stoked about it. I think I’ve planned it about 5 times over the last year or so. Still would like to talk to someone who’s hunted it before.

    Kings rain gear

    Anybody have any experience with the Odin or Paramount rain layers? Thinking about going with one of them but can’t decide which to go with. Which one is the most waterproof? They both claim 20,000 waterproofness but not the same breathability. Coming from a firstlite storm tight jacket, are...

    Alaska Draw Results

    Drew a goat tag but struck out on the rest. Really figured that the only thing I'd draw if I did would be a cow moose tag. Stoked for the goat permit!!

    JRE w/ Cam and Steve

    The loss off opportunity for anything in life, hunting in this example, is not due to the "celebrity' or "influencer" posting pictures doing obnoxious things or getting caught poaching. The loss comes from those who don't stand up for something cause it doesn't affect them, in their mind "why...

    JRE w/ Cam and Steve

    When have anti-hunters ever compromised on anything? When have they ever said "hunters voices matter, we should not poke them on trying to ban what they love to do"? Compromise, compromise, and compromise until one day you have nothing left. Hunting with hounds for bears and cats in practice...

    Polar Vortex Impact on Aoudad

    A native of Tx myself and family is still there. Aoudads are worse imo because they will out compete native wildlife for feed and are immune to disease they spread to other sheep. Heck those pesky things are starting to spread further across the state.

    Polar Vortex Impact on Aoudad

    Shame it didn't kill 'em all. Pesky invasives that destroy the exact habitat that bighorns and mulies need.

    Punching a Tag or Adventure? What’s more Important?

    I enjoy hunting new places and I like hunting places I've been to really pin down the area even better. I choose adventure and punching a tag together. It's what I strive for every hunting season for each time out. I find that the more you make things an adventure by not just shooting the first...

    Upland Pants

    Classic carhartt duck pants. Wrangler brush pants are good as well: https://www.wrangler.com/shop/atg-hunter-mens-upland-pant-NS101DNM.html Both are a fraction of the cost of all the big name fancy brands that don't hold up half of what the carhartt and wrangler's do.

    Patching kuiu waypoint duffle

    Aquaseal should have fixed it. I'd get a new fresh tube and try it again. Maybe try scuffing up the area you will put the sealant on? I've used regular Aquaseal to patch waders, packrafts, and other stuff with zero issues and some of them are going on 7 and 8 years of fairly rigorous use.

    Taking Equity out of Home to Go on Guided Hunts

    I say do it! You've gotten to this point in your life where you can, no reason to sit on the sidelines any longer than you have to. Especially if your wife is supportive of the decision, no reason not to. Then you can come back and beat all the haters and naysayers over the head with pictures...

    AK Sheep, Population Observations

    Nice to see them looking at population trends as a whole and not just a snapshot of the last 20 like so many have. Not saying we shouldn’t be concerned by any means but it’s always good to get as much info as possible and not just most recent.

    Sheep Show 2024

    While I see the positives of those tags going to auction for sheep conservation, I also see it as a double-edged sword. On one hand there's a lot of money going to conservation that otherwise probably wouldn't, but on the other it has seemed to turn sheep into a status symbol. By status symbol I...
