    Hold on to your GMU 23/26A Shorts boys

    Wow.......that is the perfect rebuttal for for someone either to "lazy" or incompetent to formulate a semi-intelligent response on a point by point bases, to what I posted. Question for you.......If this is primarily a "hunting forum", burn those last two brain cells........explaining why "This...

    Hold on to your GMU 23/26A Shorts boys

    But.......someone else went out and found the game FOR you, you did not Hunt the game, you did not "scout" the area, someone else scouted for you, hunted for you. You simply killed an animal someone else did the hunting part. Where is the "sport" in having someone land you in the middle of a...

    Looking at harvest data… thoughts???

    Here is my best advise. Most figure on a 5 or 7 or 8 day hunt. Of which 1/3 to 1/2 (and rarely, but sometimes "ALL") are not hunt-able, typically caused by weather, volcanic ash, or smoke from forest fires, 40-50-70 miles away. Hunters, especially non-residents, given their increased "costs"...

    Looking at harvest data… thoughts???

    Example......great-great grandpa, homesteaded Alaska, had several quality hunting areas. He has pass that knowledge, down generations, those generations have built camps, and bush airstrips. Why in hell would they broadcast that information to every hunting guide, and hundreds of thousands of...

    Looking at harvest data… thoughts???

    Here is a safer assumption. Those harvest reports are mostly fabricated fiction. To a lesser degree if it was a draw permit, but even then the drainage is likely fabricated fiction.

    AK Sheep, Population Observations

    I was guiding hunters, back then, in Idaho and Alaska. And if your inferring the use of recreational drugs, "Sorry" I never did that. I have consumed a lot of Tequila in the last nearly sixty years.

    AK Sheep, Population Observations

    After 52 years of having watched huge chunks of The Wrangell Mountains, Alaska Range, Brooks Range, Chugach Mountains, Kenai Mountain Range, turned into Parks, You learn who is "Driving The Bus". My point which "Clearly" escaped your comprehension, is if Alaska can't handle Game Management, the...

    AK Sheep, Population Observations

    Is there a "danger" that the Federal Government, (who may not control game management and harvest) does control the "lands" they manage, might jump in and declare an emergency, resulting the closure of sheep hunting to protect the survival of the species.........on Federal managed lands. Or...

    AK Sheep, Population Observations

    The current reality is there is less to zero chance of ever getting a bounty on wolves.....Zero. There is a much higher probability of all trophy hunting being illegal. If that went on a state wide vote, as liberal as Alaska has become. I remember when we could hunt Polar Bears, I think that...

    Reality of horse back moose hunt

    Were you with the actual person with whom you understood to be the Guide/Outfitter with whom you signed a contract.....??? Or with someone else, an assistant guide, or a different licensed registered guide, a wrangler, or anyone other then the owner guide of the company. Should anyone desire to...

    Dangerously Close

    So......you can understand what it would be like to be under a very large "Trophy" Brown Bear looking at the sheath of his "relationship hardware".

    Dangerously Close

    Unless it is a massive "male" Alaska Costal Brown Bear, and he is on top of you just waiting for you to move, so he can show who is dominant male.

    Dangerously Close

    I've often said, "If bull moose had claws and they were "omnivores", I would leave Alaska. There would also be fewer bears, and a lot more moose. I've also often said, that when walking up to a killed bull moose, it is like walking up to a brown chevy suburban, laying on its side. I've been...

    Maybe you could do some basic research on the "History" of Forums, the history goes back thousands of years. Just because someone voices an opinion you dislike, does not validate your assertion they have ruined the forum.

    AK Sheep, Population Observations

    I don't fault anyone for moving to Alaska. The internet and especially forums, have glorified the "END RESULT" part of hunting, while simplifying or totally eliminating the essence of hunting. In a society that has for more then a hundred years been devoid of a "public" Right of Passage" into...

    AK Sheep, Population Observations

    Think about it.......where do hunters do their "scouting" as to where the trophy animal they desire is most probable. Where do they go for advise on clothing, firearms, binoculars, spotting scope, bullet suggestions, ranger finder advise, hunting method for desired trophy, how to cape and...

    AK Sheep, Population Observations

    Think of it as clarification of your flawed post. This forum does "NOT" change regulations. What this and other internet forums offer is is glorification, and access to others doing the work of hunting. If the internet went dark, the number of hunters would drop drastically. The harvest would...
