I got this small bull yesterday,its been nice weather,so thought I would make meat
note...the fireweed still in his mouth...a neck shot with the -06,dropped him mid chew...hope its not too graphic.

Good shot Jeff and a good supply of winter meat. You dress 'em a bit different than I do though.

Jeff good deal. I love early fall moose and nothing wrong with those young ones. Most of our crew heads up tomorrow for the Thursday opener here. I have to wait to go until Friday evening and figure if things go well by then I will just get to relax in camp for the weekend

Thanks Guys,...and he was suprisingly Fat for a youngster..
and hard to beat August meat..nice and tender.

Way To Go Jeff !!...


TxLady..

Good deal. You're right about August meat. The fatter the better.

Well, look at this !!! Even expanding the Road System in Alaska !!!

9. Matanuska-Susitna Borough, AK
Towns include: Wasilla
Job growth (2000-2008): 58.5%

Is this a hot place for jobs? In the words of its most famous resident, you betcha! Employment in the borough (Alaska's equivalent to a county) has grown an average of 5.5% each year for the past decade.

While many residents commute to nearby Anchorage for work, locals are thriving from the tourism trade. With 2,000 miles of mountain biking and horseback riding trails and six rivers designated for rafting, canoeing and salmon fishing, Matanuska-Susitna offers plenty of reasons to keep visitors coming back.

But it's not all fun and game fishing. Development of a large prison, Olympic ski resort and $80 million of new road projects are all underway, bringing many more construction and service jobs to the area.

Olympic Ski Resort? good one...

Ha...they've been talking about Hatchers Pass about as long as the Devils Canyon Dam and the Knik Arm bridge. I, for one, hope none of them ever get built.

But maybe Obama will decide to stimulate us some more...

I've been stimulated about as much as my sphincter can stand.

I hope that quote doesnt come back to bite you White

I'd hate to see that one used out of context!!

Otherwise, I agree

Florida is out, Alabama is off the list, Arizona and Nevada are way too hot for even me !!

2010 ALASKA, I AM MOVING IN !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Break out the Porterhouse Steaks , Apple Pies, and don't forget
to have the WELCOME WAGON with the "WELCOME , NEW NEIGHBOR" banner hanging out at the City limits waiting for me when I get there !!

The way I see it, what's one more New Yorker in Alaska ??

Checked all the places in Alaska to set roots in, it's a BIG State, you know !! Thought about Bethel, then I watched that YOUTUBE video of it and just about fell off the chair!! ( Loved that song in the video. The words to it could have just as well been about Florida !! ) Thought about Nome and took a look at the City. I said "As soon as I get to Nome, I will want to head back home !!" There were other places that looked nice, but were too far away, cost to much to live there and just did not interest me.

So........

I settled on the Anchorage Borough. Not City , but yet not too far from City convienences .1 to 1 1/2 hour drive to Anchorage when I need to get to the City . AND IT IS ON THE ROAD !!!

so you are moving to sutton, talkeetna, hope or willow???

I think you would fit in well in Talkeetna....

you might want to do some more research on other states, like Oklahoma or Nebraska.... they would welcome you for sure....

Besieds the doctors in AK aren't taking any more medicare patients ( no joke). that is how we keep out the old people...

There is no Anchorage Borough. It's Mat-Su Borough.... make sure to go up the Parks Highway.

Crap and BS is what that is. I have a tourist store and I'm down 65% from last year.

I will do good up in Alaska. People LOVE ME !! like Bees to Honey !!

maybe you should get some signs...

I don't think the Talkeetna Air Taxi runs during the Winter.

MEDICARE ?? I will take the Public Option!

You're in the wrong crowd for that attitude I think.

TAT flies yr round..... you can drive to anch too..

you could move into a vacant school bus.

Well there's the problem, I took your advice and there's signs all over and NOW there's NO where for the darn tourons to park!
