Yes i did see a few boats out front trolling. i am asking around. Very nice down here.

How did it go? You are probably flying home right now, or maybe tomorrow? Can't get much on line, as to voting yet of course.
Hope you got a ride and were able to drag a line.

not flying home yet.. still in deliberation. it is crazy down here. any new technology makes everyone a poacher. what the heck.

Al..can u ask the Juneau bio why they manage brown bears differently in SE.? That goes against the adfg mission. There are so many in 1c .
So why cant the residents take a brown bear every year???( Because the bios want to protect these apex predators). It likely will go up one or 2 bears per year but they say they have 68 to 150 based on there formula. In just this one area. Apparently. These liberal bios know more about wildlife than I do...even though I spend more time out there and see what is actually going on. We could have more moose in 1c if the bear population was managed like up north. Also We have brown bear dominating traditional black bear areas ask any hunter in the springtime...one evening we saw 8 brown bears in one bay.....zero black bears and zero moose. Remember...the mission is to manage to maximize yield for all user groups..clearly the tourists and fly fishermen deserve a brown bearvPic over my resident brown bear tag..which we pay for here in SE...supposedly it goes to fund the SE brown bear management plan that they only do every 23 years.
