    AK Sheep BOG Comments due Oct 13

    I am curious about your view on ending federal subsistence sheep hunting. I would guess that fewer than 20 rams are taken that way statewide and I don't think that has anything to do with declining sheep numbers. The sheep that are hunted in those areas face tougher odds than those in the...

    AK Sheep BOG Comments due Oct 13

    Its not hard to fix the situation. Why were the 1960s-1970s the golden age of Sheep Hunting. Guides were paid a bounty to shoot wolves. Golden Eagles often went missing in different areas. I have talked with a lot of old timers. They would shoot the bastards. We have fish and game find the...

    Are Alpha Binoculars worth it?

    The ELs and the NLs are very close. The ELs are easier to get collimated to your eyes but once you get the NLs set- Dyn-O-Mite. So here is what you have to ask yourself.

    How do you justify sheep hunting?

    People think that hunting sheep in Alaska is just getting a tag and finding one off of an atv trail. OTC sheep hunting is expensive, time consuming and difficult. I am going to have to sell my house, relocate back to where I grew up, build a new house and buy a $50K jetboat to really go sheep...

    How do you justify sheep hunting?

    I used to have a mental barrier when it came to sheep. I grew up a meat hunter and was told you can't eat horns. We would hunt to eat and the process of hunting was one that cleared ones soul. I remember a story about my uncle passing up three large full curl dall rams that were crossing in...

    $15,000 Reward for Missing Haul Road Hunter Steve Keel - OP updated to show locations

    I helped his brother and his crew link their Inreach+ explorers during the first major time that they went up there. They had them all linked to an inreach mini that was a master so I had to decouple it and change the settings in all of their units. They were nice guys and I gave them my view...

    Barrier of entry to Sheep hunting

    We can't get teachers, police or firefighters up here at all. This Spring they hired 5 from the Phillipines for my high school. There are a lot of jobs that pay 50-70 K that aren't even filled. You could talk to your wife and explain to her that most people up here would never want to move...
