    That time I should have died...

    I try not to think of all the times I should have died in High School/College. Some of them events creep into my head every now and then and I've literally got sick to my stomach. We went a little harder than most I think. One recent bad one I had was a couple years ago on the first day of a...

    19' Deer Lottery Reuslts

    It probably takes them a few days to decide whose turn it is in the office to get 3 buck tags this year. My cousin's friend said that he saw them hauling bears and wolverines around in horse trailers up by the Canadian border when he was leaving the bar a few nights ago. He's the same guy that...

    Deer apps are due today fellas

    Thanks for the reminder! On a related note, the NDGF website is BY FAR THE WORST website of any state fish and game agency I apply for. This thing is a train wreck trying to find information. Is the rule that you can miss one year of application and still keep your points applicable? As...

    Snagless set up for rocks

    Three way and split shot is easiest. We use tube weight rigs with lead wire bullet weight for sockeye/steelhead and that is the ticket if you're drift fishing. Extremely easy to change weight. Retrieval fishing I would say keep it simple with split shot that will pull off the bottom of the...

    Midco rate hike

    Our antenna gets about 15 channels. We actually had cable this last weekend at our air b and b and turned it on while our kid was napping. We ended up flipping through for 15 minutes to find something worth watching and eventually just watched the same old PBS show we have on our antenna at...

    Minnesota Bear Hunting

    I'm not a seasoned guy and only have a few years under my belt. But I have a lot of buddies that have been running them for 10-30 years. They/I am in AK so things may be different down there but here is my take on it. I am a busy guy and I bait a fair ways from home so I can relate to...

    Native Treaty Rights

    I hope they're on the way to Yellowstone right now to hunt the long weekend. Drop a bunch of bison for the Memorial Day crowd and show them the subsistence way. If it's anything like the whale harvest up here, it will just be whatever they can send to the city and sell to the tourists as art...

    Native Treaty Rights

    To reiterate my thoughts on this subject when it was first discussed 6 months ago here is the copy and paste from that thread - [ This is a touchy issue for me and I could go on ALL day. A few thoughts: There is a much larger picture in at hand. A reservation was drawn by man and really was...

    Pecker pants bikers.....

    As long as it's Busch Light I'm in! I caught some sort of yellow fever the last time I was at his house and got into his fridge full of Hamms!

    Pecker pants bikers.....

    You haven't seen anything down there. Everyone that comes to AK every year seems to forget that people actually live here and are trying to get on with their daily activities and don't care about some citidiot's little adventure. I passed about 30 groups of cyclists just running down to...

    Emmons County Break-Ins

    I couldn't take it anymore and finally had call some people. Too bad to hear his life went that way. Whoever says marijuana isn't a gateway drug isn't paying attention. Most of the stoners from high school went down that road. Only a druggie would return to the scene of the crime and get...

    Emmons County Break-Ins

    I'm eagerly awaiting more info on this. Please post it up once you guys hear more. Is it a local guy like he moved in with the job boom and lives in town or a local that graduated from LHS? About 15 years ago on Thanksgiving morning we went to take a load of summer sausage out of the smoker...

    2019 Deer Season and Tags Set

    Unless something changed very recently, I believe that is only an option for residents. I know that residents can, but I can't even find information about purchasing points for residents anywhere on the NDGF website. I will say that I spend a lot of time researching hunting in several states...

    2019 Deer Season and Tags Set

    I really wish they posted the statistics for nonresident draw odds with the residents draw odds. Especially since they don't let us buy points only. I don't want to accidentally draw a tag with that many tags awarded! On another note, that point creep for Muzzleloader buck tags is unreal...

    Pelly airboat accident

    I am not sure, but I saw a guy a couple years ago have one sitting on the bottom of 6 foot of water on the upper reaches of the Susitna River. He had what people here refer to as a "Florida" style air boat. Which is the typical boat you see on TV with the open front (basically a large jon...

    Happy Easter!

    Our price has been paid in full. Happy Easter on Sunday. Still got a couple days of reflecting on how undeserving we are. God bless.
