Honestly, I think people up here are tired of hearing about meat getting stolen, but the other parts made it home. People contuining to talk about specific areas to hunt in alaska, or people who shoot animals and then donate the meat like it's some good deed (which i know you didn't do)

Yeah…. It sucked having the meat stolen. I almost didn’t take the bear fence bc i was told it wasn’t necessary. But I did anyways just in case and glad I did. I can’t help that bears don’t like horns over meat.

I took pictures of the meat each day to verify that it was indeed bears. I have pictures of the bears. There was nothing I could do beyond what I did and I wasn’t putting meat inside the bear fence.

I think is people up there just don’t like people like myself from down here coming and hunting the state. I fly with a transporter. I don’t have a secret spot. I hunt public done here so I know what it’s like to get a spot burned. So I don’t speak about things I hear about up there the same way I don’t speak about spots down here. I may never hunt that spot I hear of but I also don’t want to screw over anyone else.

Anyways, it is what it is. I just think it’s bs that there are people on this thread that think they are holier than thou….

You spent 3 days in Alaska, lost your meat to bears (which happens), talked in circles throughout this entire thread, called me a "DB", an "a-hole" and a "d'k", when your very first post asked for someone to give you a reason not to come back.

People that post on the internet and expect zero criticism for what they write truly baffle me.

First of all, the title of the thread was meant as a fun title. I’m booked to go back to Alaska a third time so I can kill a caribou since I was forced to pass the last time.

Secondly, go back and re-read the posts in order. Your first comment was sarcasm about bears being “scary”. Then you insult me for being in Alaska for “3 days” and losing meat to bears. I think you referred to it as “funny”.

You know, if it was truly about the horns and a hide, I had ample opportunity to kill a really nice caribou after my wife. It would have been real easy to have sat out there an extra two days and not had to worry about meat…. Instead, I ate a $5k hunt so I wouldn’t waste game bc I’m an ethical hunter.

And for the record, I’ve been to Alaska twice for over 20 days each trip. The second trip (this year) my pregnant wife and I floated a river in on moose hunt, just us two. I’m not a “weekend” warrior….

So, yeah, “3 days”…

That was not a diatribe.

That was a simple explanation given as a response to your reply. It was not an attack. But big words are fun! (when used correctly)

But you really should go back and read your replies in order. Maybe do some self reflecting on how you unjustifiably berated someone for no reason and then were “baffled” that that same person would take offense.

And I’ll admit, I made a mistake. I should have simply ignored you all together. So my apologies to the rest of the members for being duped into an adolescence exchange.

At any rate, as much as I would enjoy continuing this saga, I actually have to help my wife finish cooking thanksgiving dinner for my family tomorrow morning. So I’ll choose sleep.
