What's been you're most harrowing experience with an animal in Alaska?
I'm almost positive I've told both of these stories in the thread so I'll summarize...
Never really had problems with any bears, black or grizzly. I had one pretty close call with a grizzly when I was taking water samples out in the field for work. Dude was standing on his back legs clicking his jaws at me from about 20 to 30 feet away. Thought he was going to charge me but he didn't. Butthole puckering distance for sure.
The other was when I was snow shoeing home one evening. The wind drifted us in and I had to park about a mile or so from the cabin. Forgot my headlamp at home that morning and forgot the pistol in the truck when I started home. Couple of wolves followed me for a little while. They were close. I could hear them breathing and stepping through the snow. Couldn't see them at all, it was a dark night. They peeled off after a bit. They could have had me if they wanted.
Predators really don't want anything to do with humans. If you leave them alone, they'll leave you alone. I've said this many times in this thread, moose are by far the most dangerous animals in the woods.

We get a lot of over landers up my way. The Denali Highway (Paxson to Cantwell) is a popular destination with all of the side trails available to explore.
Tourists are starting to show up now. Tourist season will be in full swing by June with the very mild weather we've been experiencing.

I listen to a battery operated radio every morning for weather/news while drinking coffee and getting ready to leave for work.
Found it in the cabin when we moved in over a decade ago. Thing has to be from the early 80’s, maybe late 70’s. Still works like a charm.

I've regularly served backstrap that people thought was beef loin before I told them what it was. Our deer are basically eating the diet of a beef cow, just roaming through corn and soybean fields and eating that all summer long.
Makes sense. We live on wild meat and fish. We splurge on good beef about once a month. Tommy G’s in Fairbanks if anyone is curious. Great meat shop.

Have you had venison from a deer that lived in corn country?
No sir. All my venison has come from Texas. I actually like the gamey flavor, I grew up on it. But I understand why some folks are put off by it.

Never had moose, is it similar to elk?
Very similar. Not gamey like venison. Very lean. I would give a slight edge to elk. Basically 1a and 1b on best wild meat I’ve tried.

Have any of y'all considered becoming hunters to supplement your red meat needs?
Hunting and fishing provides us with 95% of our protein. The only meat we buy regularly is bacon. The occasional ribeye about once a month. We live on moose, caribou, grouse, salmon, halibut, ling cod, and rock fish.
I realize that where I live provides us with way more hunting and fishing opportunities than most of you have, but providing for yourself and family is one of the more spiritual aspects of my lifestyle that most people overlook. The bonding that my wife and I experience during the whole process is immeasurable.

No experience with Tikka, but I love my X-bolt. It was the only .270 I could find with a left-handed bolt. It drives tacks. Good feel, relatively light weight. It's my default weapon when hunting in Texas.
I added a Mark III in 300 WinMag (also LH) two years ago when I went elk hunting. If you can spend a little more, I'd look at the Mark III as well. I was in the same boat as you. Wanted to get something I could hand down to my son eventually. The stock is gorgeous. A bit heavier than the X-bolt, but worth it.
No experience with the rifles mentioned, I shoot a 30 plus year old Remington Model 700 BDL with a Leupold Vari-X II 3x9 scope .270 Win for moose.
I've killed 10 moose in my time up here, all with a .270 Win. All neck shots, all within 300 yards, and all one shot kills...DRT.
It's my favorite rifle cartridge and can kill any antlered species on the North American continent if you can place your shot. The .270 makes that possible because it's so easy to shoot.

I just can't imaging lamenting that my tax dollars are going to educating someone, or feeding someone, or providing them shelter, or taking care of their medical needs. But I'm not a piece of shit, so I got that going for me...

And then I realized we could develop a sativa strain of marijuana and call it “Blue Duck - Will Fuck U Up” - and be sitting on the beach earning 20% after sales take off….
We call our indica, “The Ledge”.
”Being on The Ledge is always better!”
I need to work out some trademark things with Brisket.
I’ve been working on it for several years now. All we need to do is get the marketing department up and running.

Tell that cunt I will personally shoot her when she starts her shit. But not a clean kill shot. I want her to feel her agonal breathing as her lungs fill with blood. I want her to experience those last moments, knowing that she fucked around with my country, and she found out.
I’d say the same thing about any fucking terrorist who tries to overthrow my country by violent force. She’s worse than Bin Laden, and I hope her cocky ass meets his same fate.36 minutes ago, TwiceHorn said:Fuck that, I'm gonna gut that fat ass pig-eyed bitch like a fish. Except I'll leave her entrails sitting her lap so she can look at them.
If these idiotic turds actually start something…I have visions of lining the 3 1/2 mile road to my cabin with maga heads on pikes. Hopefully on both sides.
Sounds like you two would be lots of help. Come on up if the shit hits the fan.

So do tv characters count or just “personalities?”
Because I don’t give two shits about tv personalities. Can’t name a single one I’d call a favorite
But Adam from Northern Exposure and Jeff Bingham are my favorite characters
