Cheechakos was a good read, may have to look into the other books there.


Rumors of my assimilation have been greatly exaggerated.

I have read the Wayne Short books probably ten times a piece. They are by far my favorite books. I have signed copies from Wayne. He lived in the manor in Petersburg and mom got them signed for me for christmas one year. My grandpa was friends with his sons also. Commercial trolling is in my blood. I was in my baby carrier out trolling with dad and grandpa. What would drive most people insane just gets my blood flowing like nothing else. It has been a long year so far being up here without a boat. As soon as i can afford it i'm getting my hand troll license to join my dad and grandpa out there on the water.

C4 : Short has a comfortable , enjoyable writing style. Similar to Jim Rearden.

I would imagine you probably enjoyed Albie, and Billy, the sky pilot, and other stories , because it talked about many of your neighbors. Luke Short, a biography - was also good and it wasn't even about S.E.

I think you would like Caldwells books as well. Amazon is free shipping, but if you order from him, you can get them autographed.

Finally completed my "grandslam" of Alaska grouse if there is such a thing. I've harvested sooties in SE, Spruce and Ruffed fairly commonly on my trapline, but finally found a sharptail (which was excellent panfried with bacon and onions by the way) smile



When there is shot in the air, there is hope.
When in doubt, throttle out!

Nice! I didn't know we had those here. I guess that means I'm one away.

Sharptail's are dark meat. Ruffed are the only ones with white meat. We're pretty lucky here as we have a pretty good balance of sharp tails, ruffed, and spruce. Spruce are the most prevalent though.

Ruffies are the best. We have a few on the trapline.

Does anybody know why you can't use traps for wolves in April? Seems crazy that the season is open but can't use traps. This time of year seems better for traps, as the warmer temps could spoil a snare caught wolf pretty quick, even with a one week check.

Maybe has to do with dogs and more people being out and about?

For you don't catch non targeted animals such as marten, wolverine, marten, eagles and so on.
