    Getting fuel to desolate places…???

    How do people get gasoline to a desolate ocean front cabin for small outboard use? I know you can’t fly it out on the float plane. I’m guessing boat it all the way out there yourself?? No road access.

    How to make salmon eating black bear taste good???

    I read a lot about how fall black bear is not desired at all for eating. I'll be hunting black bear soon on Prince of Wales in SE Alaska. Is there a way to prepare the meat to be edible? For example, with bloody fish meat, I can soak in milk and it helps pull the blood out and clean the meat. Is...

    Prince of Wales or Ketchikan taxidermist?

    I have a diy black bear hunt on POW this fall. IF I'm successful, does anyone have a good local recommendation on good and reliable taxidermist(s)?

    iPhone hotspot for wifi game camera???

    I tried searching for info but I cant seem to find a clear answer... If I buy a wifi game camera can I use my phones hotspot to link to the game cam and pull the images off of it? I know I'd have to be close to it, but it beats having to remove the memory card and all of that process. Thanks
