Hi Spence,
Thanks for the awesome write up on all these stocks. I was curious who did the action skeletonizing? I'm looking to have that done on a R700 as well.
I have been told that the peak 44 stocks sound hollow and have some flex due to this hallow configuration, have you noticed this at...
considering a cycle is 8 years from our current management style and plan, there is a chance. It might be slim one though.
In the Chugach the study found that food and nutrition or the lack thereof has played a big role in the overall decrease as well. So the real questions is what can we do...
Does anyone know what the natural Mortality rate is between weather, predation, and old age? On the opposite side of this does anyone know what the average recruitment rate is as well?
Know its an old thread but thought I would throw it out there. 4th season cow tag, was wondering if anyone would mind sharing some info, have a couple good plans laid out and areas to check, just trying to get the lay of the land the migration paths as winter sets in.
Thanks in advance
I feel your pain, but what is the solution? Could someone start a how to hunt boot camp that would teach people. The other issue is supply and demand. Public land is shrinking, animal counts are variable and overall the amount of people hunting is supposedly decreasing but yet we are seeing...
I have used a warm nalgene to warm the boots up before i put them on. This has helped warm up the feet and get the blood flowing to help keep the toes warm.
So while out on Afognak this year we ran into some hunters from North Pole. I wanted to see if they were on here and if we could connect. I believe they were camped on portage lake and were having bear problems. Its a long shot but wanted to try.
I was in the same boat but ended up going with 140 ttsx and they worked really well. don't think you will have much of an issue just depends on what your rifle will like more
Great point of view, if you were to go extreme and take away all NR then those small towns that prosper wouldn't be so great for the residents to use. Then they would complain about loss of jobs, or less infrastructure. It's a vicious cycle but one that should be thought out.
I have been there a few times and I would second what Mykolaivka887 said... It can be pretty miserable, expensive and overall the deer are smaller.
With that said if you can get a good drop on the southern side of the island it's generally a pretty decent hunt.
