  1. 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.
  2. Weather has been beautiful here. Quite possibly the easiest Spring breakup we’ve gone through. Took a hike in Denali NP. Saw a first for me, a collared grizzly sow, a few caribou who were camera shy, and one of my favorite spots; the Savage River.
  3. If you have to say you're Alpha, you ain't Alpha.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. 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.
  7. 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.
  8. 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.
  9. Chicken fried moose sandwich with cream gravy for dipping. Forgive the dishes. We don’t use disposables.
  10. 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.
  11. 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.
  12. 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...
  13. Why does one even carry a gun when you can’t hit your target from 6 feet? Fucking dipshit. Dead dipshit now though.
  14. Denali Borough I’m the only year round Longhorn in the Borough 🤘 Just wear something burnt orange. Anyone in Sooner attire will be shot on sight if the maga ‘pocalypse starts
  15. 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.
  16. Magnum on the trail of something
  17. 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
  18. And there will zero accountability for whatever hero pulled the trigger You’re either cop or you’re not
