Jeff, was the eggs on kelp a gift or did you go somewhere to rake them up yourself? Must have been a long ride if you did! Someone in Mountain get the Beluga?

The Herring on Kelp was from St Michael, so was the Mungduk both gifted to me by different people that went up. I used to gather the kelp myself off the rocks and dry it was good that way.
I used to have a Herring permit for Norton Sound and fished up there every year. We would follow the Yukon break up out the mouth into the Bering Sea and up to St Mike, Stebbins and UNK. was a trip that separated the men from the boys. We would be stuck in sea ice for days eating seals and bird eggs. setting crab pots. That area was my old stopping grounds neat country with all the reindeer.
I did some time in the Norton Sound herring fishery back in 86 and 87. Fished with Shak guys. Roe and muktuk was a treat. Brined and dried beluga meat was good too!
I was fishing there then. We fished cape Denbee with the Shaktoolik crowd. I tried climbing the cliffs for eggs there but realized that was a bad idea. Straight up.
Jeff I'm glad to see your hives didn't get destroyed good plan with the electric fence if you knew what trail it would be using a game camera would make it interesting to see the outcome .
The honey crop may not be as good as in the past years it's awfully dry around here this year but I'm glad to see that it's not as bad there .
