Yeah found 4 bites now 3 on ankle one on side . I now what happened we caught 2 Lynx and fox and some wolves we threw them all in sled together next day day loaded them up came home bag cats and raided . I did not think about other animals I will bet as cats cooled down them wolves stayed warmer longer that is how I got fleas in shop . Just emptied can of raid in shop . We normally bag cats on line just spaced it .

If that doesn't work, use a bug bomb in there that will take care of them. My girlfriend is a dog groomer, she has to do her grooming room often. Good luck.

They have never bothered me, but the wife and kids get bit occasionally. As they are host specific and die in a couple of days, I have claimed complete ignorance in the matter.

Be careful on the ice boys and girls walking by bobcat down I went right on corner of bucket 2 broke ribs . Yea

We always hang the fur in a woodshed for a few days before thawing and skinning.Never have bug problems that way.
If you skin fresh fur you will get ankle bit,happens in the fall sometimes with marten if they arnt hung for a while.

That's going to hurt for a while,

Crossing the flats today headed into Anchorage saw two swans sitting out there. I think spring is here!

My flowers and plants in general are popping, here. Looking like the lilac is going to it's personal best, yet. Planting spuds in a week.

oh, and ravens are already building nests. Go figure.

My rhubarb is up and growing

Several years ago my wife bought a bunch of earmuff frames someplace she recently used them all up and neither of us can remember where we purchased them at. A look online reveled nothing in state does anybody know if there is a place here in AK that still sells them?

Anybody running one of these with the 600 H.O.?

I am. 600 Etec. 2015 model. Great rig.

If you are going E-Tech go Tundra Extreme like Charlie Wright.

For one of you trophy hunters!





Thanks, for the trophy!

Nearly wide as the Bravo is long!

That looks like a good one!

I didn't know stihl made an eight inch bar.

Dirt was that wolf

I think it was a moose.

I suspect wounded in September by unlucky hunter. Frozen in swamp under snow. Not scattered like wolves would have done if we had any wolves. Just, mostly scavenged.
