    Trip to Anchorage help

    Just to toss out a couple other places for dining... the Double Musky Inn, in Girdwood, is a favorite. I haven't had crab there but their French Pepper steak is incredible. They don't take reservations, so you may have a wait. The Glacier Brewhouse in Anchorage is popular. Humpies diner is...

    Try the Club Paris in downtown. It's one of my favorite places. Simon and Seafort's, Anchorage; Louie's steak and seafood in Soldotna is very good also.

    Kodiak blacktail advice

    It looks like you have it zero'ed in pretty well. I always feel a touch under-gunned with a .270 on Kodiak but actually they're just fine. My last hunt there, two years ago, was with a 7mm-08. I ran into bears but none too threatening. The Wiggy's waders will be fine for that time of year...

    Kodiak blacktail advice

    You should be able to pack an average buck out by yourself in one load, the way you describe.

    Trip to Anchorage help

    Great that you and your family are coming up. For me, the best thing about visiting Anchorage is getting away from it and exploring Alaska. A fishing trip from Seward is a good choice. June is a good time for halibut and rockfish and maybe a King salmon. I prefer going on either Profish-N-Sea...

    Kodiak blacktail advice

    Your air service will be very helpful, but keep in mind that the lakes, especially the smaller ones, may be completely frozen in November. I've had to pack camp several miles because of salt water bays freezing up while I was there. Your tents sound up to the task, you might consider an extra...

    Kodiak blacktail advice

    Yeah, I lived in Kodiak for a number of years and have hunted it since about 1980. A lodge based hunt would be my first choice; I'd look at Larsen Bay lodge. There is also a old cannery based "lodge" in Spiridon bay that provides daily drop off hunts by skiff when you stay at the cannery. I...

    Kodiak blacktail advice

    Personally, I would look at mid- November for the timing. That would put you there a little more into the rut. I always like to hunt close to Thanksgiving. Weather is always a factor on Kodiak, but you guys are experienced hunters and know to be prepared for almost anything . August can be...

    Is this poaching punishment enough?

    They do! That's why I favor mandatory minimum sentences. Many judges just don't care that much about wildlife issues. We need dedicated special prosecutor's also!

    Is this poaching punishment enough?

    Sentencing guidelines get complicated. First, we have to reconcile the fact that our court system is getting overburdened with cases that are genuinely a higher priority than crimes against fish and wildlife. Coupled with the fact that many violent crimes against people get lighter sentences...

    So I watched a you tube video the other night.......

    I'm not familiar with the laws in Wyoming well enough to say for them, but I don't see any scenario where he would have been legal to shoot from outside his licensed/permitted area, into his area. But these things can wear you out trying to figure them out. The law makers almost always try to...

    Fair Chase?

    I think that the introduction of all the technology that's available into "hunting" has really redefined "fair chase". Not for the better. I know that there is no going back to the old days when C.C. was a youngster :geek: and Jim was a gleam ;), but I wish we could!
