    Sitka blacktail meat vs moose

    For my tastes, SE Moose is much better than SE Sitka Blacktail. It's not even close for me.

    Hunting guide as a career ?

    I don’t buy into the whole idea that you will ruin something you love by doing it as a living. I have 20 years guiding and I look forward to it every year. Probably do 15 more before I hang it up. Am I burnt at the end of the season, yep. But that’s normal. The key is to be good at it. I...

    Hunting guide as a career ?

    Probably shouldn't be a hunting guide if you are worried about being way from home. I did the Coast Guard. (AMT/Flight Mech) out of high school and ended up in Sitka, AK. Never had considered a move to AK prior to that. After my obligated time was up, got out, got my capt. license, and...

    Is the western hunting bubble bursting? (Or at least shrinking?)

    Some select hunts that could be true. I am in the fishing biz in SE and I will say that the average age of our clients is old. We are losing probably 5% of our repeat clients each year due to age and health issues. That is about to quickly accelerate. In fact, operators are cutting doors in...

    Is the western hunting bubble bursting? (Or at least shrinking?)

    There has to be a price. 3k a tag? 5k a tag? You average nr Hunter doesn’t have a 100k truck and 30k utv. If anything, those prices make it more likely we have reached a peak.

    Is the western hunting bubble bursting? (Or at least shrinking?)

    I think if we are not there, we are close to the top. Everything has gone up in price. And now that money is actually worth saving (5% cd rates) more guys will elect to save money rather than spend it on recreation.

    Will the Fed break the back of outfitted hunts

    I think you are right. Every year a lot of boomers are dropping out of the hunting/fishing pool and that will only accelerate. I think the little surge in demand will be short lived.

    New Alaska Draw System Idea

    There is lots of support for some kind of point system on the local ac level. I would probably support it if a proposal was made that made sense.

    Politics in high school sports

    Focus on schoolwork, hunting, and fishing. Those are things that he will do for the rest of his life. Seriously, a lot of coaches are idiots. Teaching him to read sign and bail to move onto bigger and better things will be one of the most important things he will learn in life. The whole...

    Anyone here a Realtor?

    First year done for me. Learned a lot. Market is much slower now which is more the pace I envisioned. Probably made more my first year than I will ever make doing it. Total timing thing. Pretty good side gig.

    Ford 5.0L V8 vs EcoBoost: High mileage experience?

    Major coolant leak right now. Apparently it’s a thing with that year/model.

    Ford 5.0L V8 vs EcoBoost: High mileage experience?

    My 5.0 coyote 2013 is problem after problem after problem. And every one of them apparently is a “common problem” for that engine. Hopefully the newer ones are better
