    Want a canoe, know nothing about them

    I have had a Coleman canoe for 40 some years that has proven itself to be very tough. We used to go canoeing where portages were necessary. We could just drag the old Coleman canoe. And I have used it for moose hunting, have had to drag it through shallow water and drop it over beaver dams. I...

    How do I teach my dog to pick up sheds?

    I have been working with our Chesapeake for several years now. I like to use moose antlers for chew toys. I found that the base of the antler has the most scent. Because of the amount of fat n blood veins. And use this as a throw toy that she retrieves. Research from trying to learn myself has...

    Is hunting still THAT FUN anymore?

    I started hunting when I was 12 in northern WI. At 64 and living in ak for 45 years now. And hunting just keeps getting better. Although my success rate has went down. Work out body. Doesn't matter to me when I'm in bush. I'm out. And that's a win. I'm blessed that we were able to stake 20 acres...

    Going to a flip phone…

    Guess I'm kinda ol school. I have a flip phone. I tried a computer phone but I would destroy them out in the bush. And I still use 2 compasses. 2 because I can convince myself that it is wrong. And I'll admit to frequently getting lost while I the bush. My kids did buy me a Garmin 62st but I...

    I've given up on brats

    Our family enjoys making sausages, brats. And with a moose there is plenty of meat for different tastes. Sweet Italian sausages are my favorite. And brats right up there. I like to use the course grind meat. We use pork suit or pork front shoulder roast cut up to add into the moose meat. And use...

    Can we unite as Hunters?

    While reading this thread, I'm reminded why getting hunters on the same page is so difficult. Folks take some cheap shots just to say something. Others go of on one aspect of hunting like hunting with dogs or baiting bears. And support ballot box laws. We as humans will never agree on...

    Alaska bear hunting outfitters

    Opportunity for success. Everyone wants success but ak is not high fence hunting. And for our area. The wolves and bears have been hitting the moose hard. But I guess that's why there are wolves n bears around. As an AK hunter for a lot of years. The opportunity for success is fairly good...

    Mercy Kills - Legality?

    Mother Nature can be cruel to it's own. I don't believe that folks should be killing any animals unless they plan on using their harvest ticket on it. I don't believe that game wardens need or want the public deciding what is a mercy kill. And very sure you would get a ticket in ak
