I was in St Marys earlier this week and saw Era unload that canoe from a plane. The plane was late as it took them a 1/2 just to load it in Emmo. It is a nice canoe.

I always love it when they run out into the swamp to die..
its not as bad as it looks...we had 4 guys and had it high and dry and loaded in the boat,in no time...(I was alone when I shot it)....

Man that should be a great peice of meat,perfect size.WTG

Nice bull. That should be super tasty. I thought at first the antler was broke, but then realized the velvet was just pushed off that spot.

Did you eat its face or nose or ears or eyelids yet????

lol....

Airboat country!

Thanks,guys...and yes the perfect piece of meat,...when in velvet..the bigger the better,nice and fat...the horns were hard and starting to shed...the velvet on the brow tine slipped off when we were pulling it to high ground,slipped right off like a glove..
yes AV..a airboat would be the cats azz,around here... this place is more like Lauisiana..than Alaska.
and Hup..... you just know there will be some fine dining to come

Oh man I'm drooling on the keyboard.

One night I sat against a spruce tree and cooked fat backstrap on a stick all night. Just some salt for spice. I ended up sick from eating so much but I'd do it again I believe.

looks like someone needs to introduce you to Tony Chachere's,season salt with a kick,or maybe some Demetris bloody mary seasoning.like white,I'm drooling.

I set the net for a couple hours,and got these two...the Sheefish will go in the smoker...

hey, that whitefish looks familiar...
Is that a Bering Cisco???

No..not a Cisco....this is the preferd white fish here..Ciscos are also highly prized..

I guess, the mouth seems wrong for the cisco....

them sheefish must be not so tasty if you are smoking it, and that is a statment in my book, seeing what usually graces your plate...
lol

Here is a Cisco from my comercial catch last November..I didnt get rich..LOL....they are hitting the coast hard this month,but we dont get them as thick as down river...they show up here after freeze up,and not in great numbers...
and Sheefish are awsome eating...and plentifull...so just doing a change up...Salmon is good,but I still smoke it

MP did a run down on the whitefish species, that was right on...I dont know all the names of the whitefish,...in English

Moose season for me is officially OVER!

I had gone goose hunting in the morning and come back to the house for a shower and a nap. Looked out the window to see the Broccoli Bandit eating the last of my cabbage (broccoli consumed long ago...)

I have an antlerless permit for right here in Fairbanks Mgt Area, so I grabbed the bow, "stalked" to the end of my front porch and shot.

Moose went less than 40 yards and died. I had a 30 yard "pack" to the garage! Did not take any photos, but I was finished by 2 pm on Opening Day!

With all the wood cut and a moose hanging up, life is good!

Not often you can grow meat and potaotes in the same garden.

Was it a baited hunt?
Use that new food plot stuff, Moose'y Oak...

The You Pick farm has a problem with the moose eating the veggies. they seem to have "solved it", they got a life size wolf form and drapped, frankensteined whatever you want to call it, a wolf hide to it... and they use some wolf urine. It seems to have slowed them down a bit. From 100 yds away it looks good, but upclose, the weather and rain and the "seweing" job is BAD..... but the black rubber ball for a nose is realistic...

Congratulations, Pete! Take all the easy ones you can.

The Garden Plot, the northern version of all those Feed Plots I see on TV in the south. I think it has been the downfall of a number of moose over the years.

Sounds like a DLP and needs to be turned over to the state.

Good deal !

There are two young bulls working the biologist's garden across the street. I've been contemplating the same procedure.
