Been on the fence a few years missed the window this summer but booked next june if I'm still above ground, I lived and worked in Alaska for several years and never herd of this outfit called Kings and corn headed up by a old time Olympic skier "Tommy Moe" had I known about his operation I certainly would've jumped. I've heli skied British Columbia "Buggaboo's and caribou 's" steep and deep pow but skiing spring corn snow is right up there with deep powder.

It's a hellofa adventure for ppl like myself who grew up in the outdoors alpine sking/fishing best time is June, heli ski corn snow mornings then in june the spring king salmon run by afternoon chopper takes ppl off glacier fields and dumps ya off on a small river gravel bar loaded with chinook (king) salmon, lunch included usually a king crab bake from the looks of it. As old age creeps up our days are numbered if my body is up to it it's game on.

I’ve set a couple bucket list items regarding my dogs. So far, they’ve retrieved every species of goose (greater, lesser, snow, speck), both species of duck, now we’re working on the upland birds. The only thing I’m missing is grouse (either ruffed or sharptail) and partridge.

Kill a limit of ruffs with a 16/28 SXS over good dogs:

Fish Green Bay/White River for giant trout (almost totally accomplished in the Tailrace at the "Blocks" on a warm November day-8lb rainbow CPR) on "bass tackle":

Legally kill a Turkey Grand Slam with an "open sighted"/bolt/SS .22lr: Shotguns are loud, "kick" and destroy meat: Fuck them for turkey.

Walk up and down a beach with a cooler of ice/beer, pliers and a jerkbait out front of my bungalow:

That is all.

2010 was the last "Banner Year" for ruff numbers for me. Killed a few limits of ruffs that year. Have pics from a day when a buddy and I killed limits of ruffs and woodcock. He was shooting a CZ SxS in 20 or 28, I don't recall which. I was shooting my beloved "woods gun", a Franchi AL48 28 28 Ga.

Legally kill a Turkey Grand Slam with an "open sighted"/bolt/SS .22lr: Shotguns are loud, "kick" and destroy meat: Fuck them for turkey.
Sighted in my "shooter" Win 63 w/baby 3/4" tube 4x Redfield over the weekend. It's an absolute HAMMER with CCI Uppercut 32gn HP's or Win 40gn Power-Points. Bi-Centenial vintage 10/22 shoots the same ammo acceptably but holy crap is that trigger HEAVY!

I wish ND would go back to allowing rimfire for turkeys, at least in the fall. Centerfire would be fine with me as well (MT allows it), however, I could see that being a bit of a:

"I blew that one up so I'm saving my tags for eaters" type situation

I did my bucket list WSMR oryx hunt in New Mexico and a black duck out of Rhode Island along with a couple brant and eiders. Focusing more on actually hunting than trophies at this point at 40 years old and two kids memories are more important. Drew a bighorn sheep ewe tag this year and we just got back from scouting. Took the kids to independence rock while there and had lots of discussions on the oregon trail.

I would like a 200" mule deer yet though.

Cody just comes off as a great dude and I recall watching one of his episodes where he was guiding a terminally Ill girl now that u mention it.

Mouth calling Moose into bow range is an experience everyone should get to experience at least once in their lifetimes. Grunting, moaning, snorting, doing the side to side tippy tango the whole way in.
