No thanks, man. I spent a couple hours making the print, and I suspect the returns would be poor (even worse than knife-making). I have seriously thought about making plaster casts of SE Alaska brown bears, wolf prints from around here, and, of course, a good set of Gulo prints. I think they'd be better and easier to make than carving walnut.

The print was actually from a 5-year old adult male grin

Now THAT would be neat indeed , Jack !

They could be left as the natural plaster colour, or painted .

I doubt they would hold still while the plaster dried

Nice broomed finish and good edge work on your walk. I wish I would have thought of it when I hunted the Peninsula but it didn't cross my mind at the time. I did get some casts from a large female grizzly in the Delta Junction area. Couldn't capture the claws in my casts. [Linked Image]

I remember the bear track ash tray or whatever you want to call them that was offered for sale in the airports in both Anchorage and Fairbanks years ago which is what sparked the comment.
The kick backs will be in the next pour ha ha

You guys did a good job finishing that side walk!

I've had all sorts of prints show up overnight on broomed concrete when we pour late in the day. Calves, deer, coons etc. Most people don't care except the guy with the calf prints. They were his calves then he asked me how I was gonna fix it lol!

I know what happened....

Garth decided to make the trek south to see you....upon finding your fresh poured art- himself decided to add to the art in appreciation wink

I believe in the thought....live smarter, not harder.

A paved walkway, so attractive, and easy to maintain , there is nothing at all wrong in that.

Adding an artistic touch is icing on the cake

Let it age for a bit and those tracks are all you will see as they collect debris. I was changing the mower blades on my uncles mower Sunday and noticed turkey tracks in the cement from years ago by accident. They are forever and all you notice.

Very cool. Now to make shoe soles with wolf tracks. No more setting from the sled then.

Very nice!!
Now where is the wolf trap?


Thought I was a good trapper until I started trapping coyotes......
Thought I was a good bowhunter until I targeted mature bucks....

Any body use the plastic pop bottle trick to make tracks going to your sets?

HA! Pete -

The walkway is not for me (yet). I figured if you wandered out of Bare-Flanks Alaska and lost your way to New Joisey, the handicapped trail would be for you. Put the wolf track in it so you'd feel at home.

How will I ever be able to repay you?!!!!

I was just talking about you the other evening. Recalling the time when you came into the office and mentioned the young bull moose you had passed up in Rosie Creek while cutting wood one September day. You thought that the FMA (bow only) included the whole RC drainage and were not aware that RC itself was the boundary. The whole west side of the drainage was an open rifle area! You passed up a legal bull because the ADFG regs were (arguably) "too complicated" for a card-carrying ADFG Biologist to interpret clearly! While I mentioned this example a couple of times while I was on the BOG arguing to "Simplify Game Regulations" you will be pleased to note that I never invoked your name while "on the record!"

Pete
