    Homer AK fishing charger recommendations

    My buddy owns and runs Big Butt Charters out of Homer. We go up at least every other year to visit him and his family. Book now, most of the good boats are full for most of summer already. Agree above with going on a smaller boat, he runs a 6-pack. The big outfits generally go target small...

    How much wildgame does your family eat?

    Our family including my wife and 3.5 year old eat about 1/2 elk (on years I go), 1 whitetail (2 or 3 if I didn't kill an elk), 1-2 turkeys, and 30ish pheasants/year. I still like pork so we go through 1/2 pig too but obviously not wild game. Tack on another 75-100 lbs of...

    Should I wait to buy a house?

    Institutional investors also have access to loan programs that normal people do not. There are some loan program that are amortized at even 40 years. I've seen some programs that are 40 years interest only, which is kind of madness to me. The commercial lending side of things with the 5 and...

    Should I wait to buy a house?

    A lot of these the sky is falling posts have aged well. If you’re planning on staying in the same spot for a while, buy now. You can weather the storm if the prices go down. They will eventually come back up. There’s too much artificial money that has been created in the last 2 years. Housing...

    Money advice for a 19 year old

    2 very different forms of debt. Consumer= Bad Debt Income Producing Assets= Good debt, I'm locking in low interest rates at today's dollars and paying them back with later with less valuable ones.

    How far before going boneless?

    Did boneless on my first bull and hated trying to keep everything structured and it was kind of a PITA to hang up to my liking afterwards, the 80 lb amoeba is just kind of a pain in the ass. Went bone in on my other 6 packouts I've been lucky enough to be on and that's my preferred method, I'll...

    The Rokslide Stock Traders Thread

    I use Taxbit and like it. They generate read-only API keys so they can see all your transactions. I store quite a bit on Celsius and get paid interest weekly so it keeps track of that as well as all other transactions. I want to say about 150/year. They also help with tax loss harvesting as...

    Solo Elk Quartering

    Yup- just manhandle it. Little trick with hindquarters is as your cutting rotate them towards the head. When you get it free you don't have to mess around with trying to get the game bag around it with one hand when it's free since it's resting on the rest of the body.

    Money advice for a 19 year old

    Not reading through all of this, but I'm guessing someone has toted rothIRA, get skilled and make more money, spend less etc. Other than the obvious ones I recommend on top of that this. For housing once you are financially a bit more secure you can qualify for an FHA 3.5% down loan for a...

    Grain free dog food??

    My personal vet and several others I've talked to in the area all said a big NO to grain free in dogs. I feed my working field bred golden Purina Pro Plan Sport 30/20. Never had an issue, he's in great shape, just turned 6 and still runs 5 miles a day with me and chases pheasants all fall...

    Conservation Organization

    RMEF and PF. I kill probably 10-12 pheasants every year on PF habitat projects, not to mention the lobbying they do for the farm bill. When I head to SD 95% of the roosters I kill are on CREP land open to public access.

    How is inflation affecting you?

    My day to day life I don't notice it a ton other than on gas and groceries. I've been fortunate that the lions share of my rental portfolio was bought before prices went nuts so I've been benefiting from that, or at least the values have kept up with inflation. I know that the higher cost of...

    Baby carrier

    I retrofitted some cheap one we got at our baby shower to my Stone Glacier and I love it. We used an Osprey we rented in AK last summer but it still was not as comfortable as my Stone Glacier. The bottom popped into the meat shelf and the straps fit pretty much perfect for where it was supposed...

    Eastcoasters hunting out West

    Depends on how many people too. When we go a group of 2 we usually do it straight from WI. Driving anywhere from 18-20 hours straight depending on what state we're hunting. I haven't had to do solo yet, but on the way out I likely would do it straight if I were solo and I would need to stop...

    Planning Alaskan family vacation looking for help

    Been to AK several times. I've got a buddy that I played football with in high school that has his own charter out of Homer. We always have a blast up there, we spend the entire time down in Homer, but that's mostly because we're visiting him and his wife. If you're up for hiking taking a...

    Versatile hunting dog?

    With golden's especially you get exactly what you pay for. Most of them are just "pets", the field bred golden's are a completely different breed in my opinion. We have friends that have "pet" goldens and they're not on the same planet as mine. Field bred are generally darker, smaller, and...

    Non toxic shotgun shells

    I gave the BOSS's 3" #4 a go this year for pheasants since I couldn't find anything else non-toxic and I mostly hunt WPA's. I was very happy with them, rolled a lot of pheasants at 50+ that I probably should not have killed. Even on close 15-20 yard shots birds that I normally would have...

    Versatile hunting dog?

    I'll throw a wrench in it and suggest a golden. Mine is a predator in the uplands and duck blind when it's cold out, but has a great off switch when we're at home and turns into a big dope. I would think a lab or a golden would both fit your bill pretty well. I run 30 miles/week with mine all...
