  1. Spring has sprung in the great white north. High temps in the 40’s. Spring cleaning time…
  2. You do not want to get caught with an illegally taken animal here. The penalties are extremely severe. That being said, defending yourself from a dangerous animal happens. You notify the authorities and they come out and investigate. They also confiscate the animal, so there’s no bullshit stories about “It was coming right for us!!” and then you get to take it to the taxidermist to show everyone how much of a bad ass you are. Taxidermists are also required to report you to the authorities if you bring in an animal without all the required paperwork. Leave predators alone, unless it’s gonna be a fair fight…use a spear instead of a gun. That would actually impress me.
  3. https://www.nenanaakiceclassic.com/brochures According to the link above the latest date the ice has gone out is May 20
  4. Snowmachine weather The Alaska Range in the distance
  5. Rural Alaskans are very aggy like in some ways They hold traditions abnormally close I’m sure the first tripod was actually a tripod That’s just what they call it
  6. Skeeter season! Assuming you were heading to Fairbanks? You drove right by the turn off to my place
  7. Nice bull. Moose hunting is always wet work Cool 4 brow tine paddle…wide 46 to 48 inches? Cutting it up alone in 8 hours is actually pretty quick work That dog has a wonderful life
  8. Nenana had Tripod Days last weekend. Tripod is set. Get your Ice Classic tickets before the ice breaks
  9. Haven’t heard any scuttlebutt, at all Which is kinda weird Alaskans don’t let the truth get in the way of a good story, no rumors is no bueno But you know the deal concerning these types of allegations
  10. The good news is Spring might be here next week. Special weather statement about a warming trend. They only do that when they think the ice and snow are going to start rotting Gotta start being careful on the trails and especially the river and lake ice.
  11. Missed getting back to you in time but glad you saw how it ended I haven’t heard the full story, but a moose got tangled up with Seavey’s dogs and he had to shoot the thing before it killed them all Shit like that happens from time to time and there are very specific rules about the meat salvage, because the meat is going to someone out there It is not wasted I’ve said it up thread, moose will fuck you up Most dangerous animal in the woods
  12. Magnum enjoying the early spring sun. 10 degrees and sunny is porch nap weather.

    High

    Tried this for the first time last night. Magic Marker 32.28% THC. High.
  14. My home town Not much to do in Abilene but eat and fuck Perini Ranch is very solid. The Shed BBQ is good but I like Jay’s BBQ better. It’s one block east of Treadway on ES 11th. El Monterrey on N 10th is still my mom’s go to for Mexican. Los Arcos on Ambler is real good when it’s on, but it has been hit or miss lately.
  15. Or extreme cold. There are a few around here I see from time to time.
  16. Meine dispatcher say there is something wrong with deine kabel
  17. I guess cancer put a boot in his ass
  18. Winter finally showed up about 2 weeks ago. Before that it had been the mildest winter we've ever experienced. Less that 2 feet of snow total and it had only been below zero a handful of times. Then the bottom dropped out. Got to 63 below at the cabin last night. It's been below -40 at the cabin for 11 straight days. Supposed to start warming early next week. The shitty thing is the Lights are usually spectacular when it's this cold, but we've had nothing in that regard during this stretch. Burned more wood in the last couple of weeks than we had in the last couple of months combined. We have noticeably more daylight now. The sun will eventually win and spring isn't that far away. Cheers Wally
  19. You a very welcome. We checked Jolie’s mouth and gums for a couple of weeks after her porcupine encounter. The vet said on xray it only looked to be 5 or 6 mm long. Probably broke off under the gum during the incident. Give Charley and Emmy pets from the Great White North.
  20. While true, a porcupine quill ultimately did in my chocolate lab Jolie. Unknown to us, one broke off in her mouth, embedded in her gum. A curious thing about quills is they continuously bore into whatever they are stuck in. She started having recurring infections. Antibiotics would knock it out for a week, then it would return. We played this game for a few months, then finally an xray revealed the problem. By the time we had this info it had drilled all the way into her jaw bone. She was 14, the infections had weakened her to the point that the vet had doubts she would survive the surgery. We took her home to the woods and managed her pain until it was time. My wife called me at work to let me know what I had to do when I got home. Fed her a moose steak and gave her one last wheeler ride to the river she loved to swim in. Hardest trigger I’ve ever pulled. Put her in the river she loved. I’ll be hoping Charley and Emmy fully recover.
  21. No clue, should I have? made cheese enchiladas instead of chicken and dumplings
