    The 1 Thing You Learned- Rifles

    I completely agree with you. Now that the weather has warmed up here, I am going to work on another load for my .300 Wby. I has been my elk rifle, but now I am going to work om a lighter bullet load for deer for this fall.

    Trip to Anchorage help

    I am sure Bob (AKaviator) will answer you as he lives in Anchorage. My wife and I spent a month there in 2019. We rented a cabin (on a lake) just south of Saldotna on the Kenai and loved the area. Don't miss Homer as it is a beautiful place. We fished Halibut and Kings in the early run. We also...

    Name That Puppy!

    I had a Lab male that was a monster , I named him Teal for the smallest duck he would retrieve. My current female Lab had to have the kennel name in the AKC name. Her AKC name is Wing Music Jenny of Eickhorn. The Wing Music is our tradition to have something about music in names. Our last boat...

    What is Trophy Hunting?

    When I was young, the first thing that came to mind when trophies were mentioned, was African hunts. Lots of pictures in magazines of the hunters with their animals. I was pretty young and I really didn't think anything about what was done with the meat. I am sure most non hunters who see...

    Conservation And Trophy Hunting

    Just finished watching and it was very interesting. You did a good job on discussing trophy vs meat hunting. As the presentation was winding down the discussion started going towards what the hunter can use to improve their success in the field. Lots of different "tools " were part of the...

    WGFD Proposed Changes

    The unit I like to hunt has no type 6 doe/fawn tags again this year, 2 years in a row. Lat time I was there we actually saw more bucks than does.

    The 1 Thing You Learned- Cooking Wild Game

    Lets start out way before you light the fire! Take care of your meat. Learn how to butcher it yourself, that's the only way YOU have control! I've seen lots of game with flies, dirt and hair all over it. If a piece of prime beef was treated this way, it would taste like crap.

    The Most Important Data...

    I tend not to hunt many new areas. States and units that I have had good success in are my main targets. That said, preference points required for a successful draw are my number one piece of information I want. I have already done the research (often times many years before) and usually am very...
