    Glacier National Park in May

    Thanks for posting this; I am headed to Bozeman for graduation at the same time and was planning to hit Glacier. Guess I need to rethink my plans and would appreciate suggestions for a 3 day rented RV trip out of Bozeman.

    Would you keep a cow moose hide?

    Perhaps a shoulder mount would be a better keepsake than a tanned hide and might not be that much more expensive? A cow shoulder mount would be unique and fun.

    Anyone have experience w/ long range fuel tanks?

    $2,500 would buy a lot of Jerry cans and fuel is readily available on the ALCAN.

    What do you want from your woman?

    Keep it simple, make him his favorite dinner (I like the suggestion above for a decadent chunk of beef) and follow that up with a menial pleasure appropriate to consenting adults.

    Alaska Rubber Boots

    I use insulated extra tuffs with wool insole liners. The liners make a huge difference in comfort and soaking up sweat. I pull the liners out at night and fold the boots down to make it easier for them to dry out.

    Why the NR HATE?? Let's fix it!

    Wow. A bunch of entitled rich guys scheming for reallocation of resident tags. I think resident commoners, new hunters, and young people should be prioritized. Every NR tag in these fully prescribed states takes away from resident allocation.

    Miles on your old 7.3 diesel?

    I have the same thing going. She's rusty but I still get compliments and random strangers trying to buy it. I dont like how hard it is to start in cold temperatures and it is slow on hills when pulling my boat (~13-15k pounds) but I cant imagine paying $50K plus for a new truck.

    Kenai River King Salmon - Circling the Drain

    It is a mixed stock fishery with abundant red salmon and struggling king salmon. The commercial folks target red salmon and the commercial fishermen with the most potential to catch kings were completely shut down last year. Meanwhile, there was at least some sport (commercial guided and DIY)...

    Kenai River King Salmon - Circling the Drain

    Here is what WalterH said above: I think the primary impact that this proposal would have on the comm fish and ESSN folks is that they would be doing the bulk of their sockeye harvesting later in the season. From a sockeye run timing standpoint, that doesn't seem to be problematic seeing as how...

    Kenai River King Salmon - Circling the Drain

    Interesting because your Facebook profile says you are a "fishing guide". Apparently you are playing word games. Perhaps your sentence should read: "I am not and have never been a guide on the Kenai but I am a fishing guide in Alaska". Your proposal is just another attempt to reallocate fish...

    Keep hurting my lower back any tips so this will stop.

    Do you use an electric toothbrush? This video is interesting and might have some helpful suggestions for you. Good luck!

    ADFG Targeted winter caribou hunt announced.

    I'm fine with a hunt just think it should be limited to bulls.

    ADFG Targeted winter caribou hunt announced.

    This is an any caribou hunt and I wish they would leave the forty mile cows alone. If it is too hard to distinguish between cows and bulls because bulls have dropped antlers and all have long winter hair then keep it closed.

    Kenai River King Salmon - Circling the Drain

    I agree there is a problem in the ocean and there is advocacy/petition to list all king salmon populations that use the Gulf of Alaska, including fish that spawn in the Kenai and Kasilof rivers as endangered (https://www.northernjournal.com/p/washington-conservation-group-proposes). It isnt...

    Kenai River King Salmon - Circling the Drain

    Delaying the sockeye harvest isnt an option as WRO pointed out because of the impact that would have on silvers. The proposal you are pushing appears to be just another reallocation of sockeye conveniently using the low king returns as an excuse. If your proposal advocated for reduced sport...

    Kenai River King Salmon - Circling the Drain

    Thanks Walter - I share your concern for the plight of these beautiful fish and agree with stricter limits on retention. Does your proposal advocate for stricter limits on catch and release? Catching a big fish multiple times increases her chances of dying before spawning.

    Kenai River King Salmon - Circling the Drain

    Please don't get me wrong; I support drastic action to save these beautiful fish. My position is that the commercial red salmon fishery in the salt has been massively restricted (and rightly so) to minimize catching kings and it is time for the sport fishing guided and recreational fishery to do...

    Kenai River King Salmon - Circling the Drain

    Yep, and in 1985 the record 97 pound 4 ounce king salmon was caught. And then the guides and sport fishing exploded and the fish have become fewer and smaller for the last ~20 years.

    Kenai River King Salmon - Circling the Drain

    You could not be more wrong about that. When is escapement is low, commercial fishing is restricted first to allow more fish into the rivers. It is rare for sport fishing to be closed although it has been occurring on king runs throughout southcentral AK lately. Also, the red run you are...
