Thanks...I did not doubt that the ram was full curl as the tip is up there near the bases, but wondered what the bio aged it. Take it to another and I am sure that you will get a different one :) Part of the advantage of taking a full curl, nothing too subjective.
I love the part about...
BREAKING NEWS...
Got a call from Ivan and his partner via satellite phone...they are packing meat. Both scored bull moose. I am sure that he will have lots to share on his first AK moose.
How old did ADFG age that ram. Can't count the rings on that ram for sure. Those light colored horns make it tough and with all of the speculation lately, it is way too risky. Congrats again.
The one on the top looks like a Mitchell body, but head could be another carvers. The second could be many carvers, possibly a Graham. There is a book about Susquehanna River Decoys that I have that would give you a better idea, as would the Havre De Grace Decoy Museum. I had them identify a...
I used TAG bags available on the Pristine Ventures website. They are really nice. I can haul the front shoulders whole and did so, so one bag each, four for the hind quarters, one for tenderloins and backstraps, and at least one or two for other meat. They are sold that way and it works.
The AK hunts are pricey on the new gear, as it getting the meat, antlers and gear back. All something to take into account BEFORE the hunt. Nothing like hearing complaints about having to give the meat away b/c the hunter can't afford to have it processed and shipped from AK. Look online for...
Fishing on the Kenai peninsula may be pretty fun, so check out the areas around Soldotna and Kenai. It will be a madhouse, but worth the mahem. With a motor home that size you may be able to just pull off of the road along the Seward Highway from Portage to Anchorage for a night on your way...
I think that this is a pretty good thread. Even AK is having its troubles. Hate to say it, but I have to hope for higher oil prices and I am not in the oil field. We had quite the budget surplus last year, which should help us get through this year, but the future is up in the air.
I am...
This will depend on the water that you are floating. Personally I would go with the breathable pants type. Here's why... for safety reasons one should still be wearing a PFD to protect against the occasional sweeper, etc. This definitely is true with chest waders. Hip boots are good, but you...
As an alum of the gators, I believe that the coaches, players and fans are taken care of better in Gainesville than any other place that I have ever been. As for Florida being chosen #1, that is up to the experts. I have to say that I enjoyed the game though :)
I agree with both Buzz and Bambi on the roadkill, hanging every animal on wall idea.
I am a native Marylander, I guess, and am now in AK. The Montanan and Wyoming boys have their flags in their offices here as well. Most could have gotten a job there, but came as they (with a significant...
Well buddy, I pay property taxes, and federal income tax, but that is pretty equal across the board. And with the cost of gas, I hope to be getting a decent PFD in September. :)
