    Back issues field dressing.

    I hear ya, it can get bad butchering moose solo. Need to straddle the carcass a lot, and kneeling is not much of an option on a moose, but I do try to kneel when I can. And why is it that there is rarely a tree in the correct direction to use a pulley to lift a leg? Tylenol helps out too...

    Montana (and other state) hunter orange laws out dated?

    Most of you don’t remember when these laws went into effect in the 60’s and early 70’s the fatalities from gunshots decreased dramatically from double digits in many states to just a couple or sometimes none per year. This was all in the Midwest. We first wore red before blaze orange was...

    Haul Road with pack stock

    I have seen pack animal trailers and camps at the chandalar shelf airstrip across the road from the DOT camp on the south side of Atigun pass. This was 15-20 years ago.

    Kodiak Reports?

    So from the perspective of this year’s hunters, Did the decrease from 3 to 1 deer for NR hunters have much of an affect? Or maybe when this regulation change took place earlier this year, it was too late for NRs to change plans. Maybe there will be more impact to NR hunter numbers in future years.

    Making the Most of Two Free Days Near Anchorage, AK?

    It’s rare to see Denali in August, but this morning was awesome with bright blue skies for about 6 hours as viewed from the south. With that said, I would skip Denali and head down to Seward and get on the water. Lots of evening hikes such as flat top in Anchorage.

    Moose fat

    LB said it perfectly! We only keep the kidney fat if the moose is shot on our property. Rendering is done less than 24 after shot. We only keep hind quarter fat for the birds- woodpeckers and jays love it.

    Moose fat

    We render the fat around the kidneys, makes for great moose meat pie crusts. Not so much for blueberry pie crusts. Month of harvest makes a big difference in how many qts you will get.

    Perfect Summer Weather

    Similar here in Southcentral AK, lots of clouds and rain this summer. I think it hit 70 twice so far. This weeks temps won’t make it out of the 50’s. Besides potatoes, the outdoor garden is looking bleak.

    Alaska unit 13 caribou closure

    ADFG is closing unit 13 to caribou hunting. The herd has had several difficult winters and late springs. This only affects resident hunters as non-resident permits were eliminated last year for same reason. Hopefully federal regulators will follow adfg’s recommendation to close subsistent hunts...
