    If you could live anywhere

    You're right on! Logistics of doing just small hunts in Alaska are substantial. There's really no such thing as doing a quick weekend hunt unless a person lives extremely rural. But as the question is presented and if a person had a large cash flow and tons of time off, there isn't a second...

    If you could live anywhere

    I asked myself this question and then moved to the place! Knowing what I know now, I would move to Soldotna area or Cooper Landing AK if job opportunities were there. If I had unlimited money and no employment obligations, I'd maintain Alaska residency and be present in AK from mid May until...

    Why do you reel left and right handed?

    I’m right handed. Hold the rod in and cast from my left hand for everything. Never switches hands. Cranks, deep sea, fly fishing, dragging spinners, ice fishing, anything. Rod never leaves my left hand and reel with my right. This is especially efficient because I’m a right-handed drinker. With...

    Spey fishing - floating top

    That's how I feel every time a new electronics thread is started! I still can't even wrap my head around a vexilar....

    Federal CWD Spending

    Although the zoonotic potential of CWD is considered low, there are numerous strains and there is a well known gentleman in the Alaskan hunting community that claims up and down his wife has contracted a form of brain wasting disease from ingesting a confirmed CWD-positive Midwest deer. Her...

    Spey fishing - floating top

    Seems like they meant the shooting head. We typically use skagit heads with a split float/sink leader but fish deeper fish in fast water. Lake fishing I’d go full floating line setup described above. A line setup that floats will reduce friction drastically and allow you to maximize your cast...

    Hell ya, she got a sister? (says her husband ran in a GOP primary so likely not a spoiled D)

    Saw an economist report that by 2027 just the interest payments on our national debt will be more than all healthcare spending. By 2047 it will be more than all healthcare + discretionary spending. By 2049 it will be more than all healthcare + discretionary spending + social security. That's if...

    Pittbull breed, what do you think?

    I don't want anything banned. I would, however, like to be protected by law (and most importantly the public eye) if an aggressive and unleashed dog comes onto my property or passes me on the street or trail and I decide to mitigate the problem. I would also like the right to be able to pick up...

    LEWT Tournament Winners BUSTED!

    The thing that I've always been wrapped around and have argued is that it's the prosecution's burden to prove without a doubt that these guys put the weights in the fish. Unless they have video, found similar weights in their boat or homes, have receipts, or one rats on the other (I think this...

    LEWT Tournament Winners BUSTED!

    Same here. happy to see it. Didn't know you could get charged with "cheating." Sunday Pinochle players at the K of C hall better be on notice! And I'm glad they found a game violation - "unlawful ownership of wild animals" - so they could take their boat, gear, and hopefully fishing privileges.

    Deal Alert!

    I finally just bought a 1.5 hp last spring when they had the 25% off plus the additional 10%. I think I paid just under $500 for it and figured I could easily sell it and break even if I didn't like it. No intentions on selling it. I've done a moose and a musk ox so far and the big dog eats...

    Pittbull breed, what do you think?

    This makes me so sick that I almost didn't share it. I'm sure they have a phone full of photos of the dogs "protecting" their kids. Honestly has put a huge pit in my stomach reading that story...

    Pittbull breed, what do you think?

    This one was in my yard 3 days in a row this week. I tried to call it over when it was here Thursday afternoon to see if I could read it’s tag. It then stood in my yard next to the swing set my kids play on and growled and barked at me for 30 minutes. If it was dark, this dog would be dead. My...
