I would love a green house someday, I do have raised beds I made out of logs, hard to see with all the grass growing around it. My soil is acidic from under the tundra, I have been adding compost every year and its getting better. Its burns any small vegi starts I plant in the spring in it now, need to lime it more too I guess.
The voles are wondering where all their spuds went.
My asparagus is doing good, harvest some next year maybe.
Sweet corn and broccoli , not so much. lol
We had a cold late spring here, one of the latest I remember, had no pollen coming in until mid may.
And it was alder smoked, BBQ'd King salmon on the grill tonight. Food Don't get much better than that.
And who said you guys way up north dont eat like Kings....
What was the copy rite on YJI? I hope they did not make you cut out your rock and roll theme music. Stupid government or Google whoever.
It was from M C A records, apparently they don't want thier old washed up, has been ,Bob Seger exposed to the younger generation on YouTube.
YA kinda stupid my son posted a video on facebook of his wedding dance him and his bride dancing to something playing on a kids ipod hooked to some speakers in the tribal building in AUK and facebook killed it

We get out of life only as much as we really want and work hard enough to achieve
Beaver open next week down there? Hoping to see another beaver snaring video watched the last one must be 10+ times now.
Our beaver and muskrat season is year round, don't close here, we can shoot them too. At the price of beaver, I wont be trapping them , just a few to eat.
And yes otterman ,they do take the copyright thing to ridicules levels.
Also O-man, I was contacted by a beekeeper from Dillingham this spring, said there were a few beekeeps there, would you know who that is, and how they made out this summer ?
Jeff, not a clue as to who is keeping bees here but could make an educated guess or two on them but Have never seen anyone selling anything other than fireweed honey

Thanks, I was just wondering if their bees did any good. Was a wet Fireweed flow here this year. Have to feed mine to get them up to weight for winter.
Just watched the moose hunting video.............WTH, looks like you had the camera lady with you, was sure hoping for a shooting clip. You must have had to be picky to find a nice fat cow. I'm generally preferable to more mature animals if you can get them early enough. Was that a Remington 742 or 750 next to you in the boat? Looks like you went downriver. How far off the river did you go? Cool video tho, loved the music, as usual! mt
Have to agree with MT. Mature animal....bull preferably before the rut starts. Lots of good fat. Best meat possible IMO. Nice video though ! I mute the music Thanks Jeff !

MT That's my hunting buddy Junior in the video. And yes It took a while to find the right fat cow. You know how when your looking for a bull and all you see is cows...well that works the other way too. The cow in the video was with a 60" bull and three other cows. I picked the fattest looking cow.
That's a Remington 7400. Been using my Ruger 7 mm mag recently, but the 7400 shoots pretty sweet.
I went in a few directions, across and down river,and about 5 miles in the sloughs, I only have a 40 horse so don't go too far.
And I agree White, A big fat bull early is hard to beat. After the 16th forget it.
I have not ate a piece of bull in three or four years, and no regrets at all.
fantastic photos, fascinating field reports, and i am with muskrat on the baby beluga: looks waaayy too blubbery to be appetizing. maybe a big dollop of honey will change that
Great thread Jeff, always enjoy your posts and pictures. Honey bees have always fascinated me. Stupid city will not allow me to have bees but from my back yard it is only a stones throw to the little farm my nephew rents and a bee keeper has 20 hives there. It's like 200 yards away. There reasoning is they may annoy or frighten the neighbors. Guess they don't know that those bees on the farm may fly all over town up to 3 Km away. Couple of orchards right in town also have bee keepers place hives.
Did not see any goose feet or beaks in that dinner shot.
