    Is hunting still THAT FUN anymore?

    I hope my grand kids never see the type of hunter pressure you describe. I count myself among the fortunate as the Yukon is almost the size of Colorado and Wyoming combined but with an overall population of around 40,000 and about half of that hunts (number includes people who don't require a...

    Moose DIY euro. Any help in Anchorage?

    I use a 45 gallon drum that I cut down to about half size and a crab pot boiler (propane) to boil traps. That should be big enough to simmer a moose skull. I've done deer this way and it doesn't seem to have an effect on antlers. The key will be getting as much meat, eyes, brains out/off as...

    Bird Dogs & domestic chickens

    The birds fear no fox when the big dog is on overwatch. The female just doing bird dog stuff. Never goes beyond the stalk. We've never had an issue with the GSP's and chickens.

    Haines AK freshwater fishing conditions info needed

    Headed out in the morning to Haines to try the freshwater salmon fishing. I realized its a bit last minute but any one up to speed on the road and water conditions. Heard that some roads where washed out and water very high. Mostly interested in if the road to the lake is gone- can leave the...

    Growing your own food: Who Does it, how, and organic or conventional methods?

    In the Yukon and I don't heat and usually plant the green house end of May or early June depending on what kind of spring we're having. This past year we had frost until the beginning of June and the first one at the end of August. The greenhouse keeps the frost off the plants - except for the...

    Mini split heat

    FWIW I heat primarily with propane and it functions well to -40 (where C and F meet) After that it can struggle if the tank doesn't have a bit of heat or insulation. We hit -50C last winter (-58F) but we had so much frickin' snow that the tanks were buried and the gas never stopped flowing...

    Air travel and packing

    If you're going that route ( pack in a bag- which is a good idea) pack only your up the mountain stuff in the pack and other stuff either loose in the same bag or separate. At least that way you have a "container" to leave your non-hunting items in while you're gone. Maybe leave your going...

    Air travel and packing

    If you're going to check a loaded backpack get it wrapped at the airport, if they have that capacity, or at least put it in a heavy plastic bag- the ones they use for car seats at the check in. There are too many loose straps, zippers, etc on a pack! FWIW, I have flown quite a bit with...

    What would you (really) do?

    I'm asking if he wants a hand, then then shifting gears to find, dress and pack the elk if he does.

    April is Autism Awareness month

    The early years can be daunting. It's a whole new world of advocacy, patience (both with your child and others) set backs and big rewards. We had to battle local gov't, school boards and bullies- although his older brother "fixed" a few of those situations (which we found out about when the...

    Full Curl or Not

    He's a pass. A pic or two look close but they also appear to be taken from a position below the ram. Judging from below = set up for disaster.

    Packing your food for your hunt

    Here's a different option. We (wife and I) use a lightweight dry bag- used the kuiu ones for years- and put all breakfasts in one and dinners in another, etc. Our trips generally range from 10-14 days.

    Sleeping Bag and Pad for NWT

    I use the exped down and a North Face 0 degree (F). The exped is a touch heavier than most pads but the sleeping comfort is well worth it. I also prefer to open my bag up if its too warm than wear every piece of clothing at night because it got colder than expected.

    Some ATV questions

    Personally, I think you would have been better off getting decent aluminum belly armour over a lift kit. If you're used to running a mountain snow machine it might not be too much of a stretch for dealing with stability... wearing a kill switch might be a good option if its that tippy.
