From keets ... "I would really miss 4 seasons"...

Reminds me of Alaska when people would say that.

I always knew we had all four seasons, though they weren't called Spring, Summer, Fall, and Winter...
Sept, Oct, Nov. = COLD
Dec, Jan, Feb = REAL COLD
Mar, Apr, May = STILL COLD
Jun, July, Aug = CONSTRUCTION

You mean like my prime $6 coon, and $8 beaver I just sold?

Spring, summer, fall...great. Winter...not so much. Maybe age has something to do with it.

It’s all a matter of perspective. Enjoying life really comes down to choice, and learning to find ways to enjoy yourself wherever you are. Fortunately Alaska makes that easy.

So my calendar goes more like this:
Sept, Oct- Big game (Moose & Caribou) season
Nov - Feb- Trapping season
March- April- Bear season
May- Aug- Camping, hiking (read “scouting”), gold panning. Oh and WORK.

I love winter weather. I wish it was during the winter time more though. 70's in Jan and 20" of snow in Feb is just a bit weird for my liking. I'd like to see it in December and January.

84 here right now at 2:15 pm. Sweat running into my eyes. Just got back from checking a few beaver traps. Skeeters tried to eat me. Pulled 2 ticks off me. One crawling on my face. Been looking carefully for exposed cottonmouths....none seen yet, but did see a black rat snake yesterday.

I hate warm weather!!!!

I like winter as long as I can still get in the woods. I can always dress warm. I really do not like the middle of summer. Do not like the heat.

Winter is my favorite time of year and March is my favorite month to fish. My attitude might be different if I lived in areas where the wind blows every day.

Do you ice fish in March or open water fish?
