  1. It’s been chilly here the last few mornings…low 40’s One of the first signs of Fall are the high bush cranberries starting to ripen and it’s leaves turning red Might be an early Winter
  2. I know and I am. He's really proud of himself when he brings something home. The problem is more often then not they are still somewhat kicking when he gets home and I end up having to break their necks then dispose of the carcasses. He wont eat the squirrels and the rabbits are full of worms in the summer time. Country dog doing country dog things.
  3. Oh, we have a major vole problem. They are everywhere. They stay out of the cabin in the summer, but in the winter I set an extensive trap line. He’s been a vole hunter for years, the rabbit and squirrel killings are new. After I get up in the morning and feed him I let him out and he goes on his daily patrol. He’s usually gone for 45 min to an hour. Lately he’s been bringing back his trophies. I wish he’d just bury them out in the woods.
  4. Magnum has developed into a straight up killer in his middle age. Eight-ish years old and he’s bringing home voles and squirrels and rabbits.
  5. We refer to that as "The Wolowitz" in our household. In the parlance of our times, it slams and goes hard.
  6. Jay’s BBQ Shack, Abilene. Solid as always. Good brisket and ribs. House made jalapeño and cheese sausage is as good as I’ve ever had. Not pictured, jalapeño corn and hatch green chili mac and cheese. Both very good. Best Q in Abilene imo
  7. Wildfire about a mile from the entrance to Denali NP, right across the Nenana River from the tourist area. Apparently the tourists are freaking out on facebook. Sent to me yesterday, smoke jumpers landing and the fire which is right around Horseshoe Lake
  8. Jeff Bingham Adam (Northern Exposure) Lt Col Henry Blake
  9. Inside of the front door to our cabin. That sign has been keeping the summer sun at bay going on 14 years. He will be missed.
  10. Knights in White Satin by the Moody Blues makes me want to kick a puppy. I fucking loathe that god damn song. I also can't stand The Beatles. Their entire catalog is shit for me, but especially the bubble gum pop they started out with. I Want to Hold Your Hand gives me an instant headache.
  11. It’s Africa hot. Tarzan couldn’t take this kind of hot.
  12. It's 83 fucking degrees here and I'm fucking dying. Had to take a ride in the truck so I could get some AC. I'm going to have to run the generator all night for a fucking oscillating fan. Shit's not right.
  13. I almost cross posted the pic in the other thread 😂
  14. Seen more bears this year already than I saw the last two years combined.

  16. Anal Palomino
  17. My maternal grandfather gave me two pieces of advice when I was young. Never trust a Baptist minister, and it’s not wrong to kill someone who needs to be killed. Kinda thought the two were related, but he died before I could confirm.
  18. This is sort of incorrect. While black bears are more timid and easier to scare away, if they do engage you they will maul you to death. You can play dead with a brown bear and there is a good chance they stop attacking you. If being mauled by a black bear you fight for your life because they aren't stopping until they rip you open. Black bears are actually more dangerous than grizzlies.
  19. No puppy pics of Magnum, he was a rescue. Here are a couple when he first got to the woods and one from last winter.
  20. Horseshoe Lake Denali NP
  21. June 1. The official beginning of tourist season. The shoulder season crowd, seasonal workers and early birders looking for cheaper travel deals, have been here for a month. The RV’s are starting to roll in so here’s a game we play to soothe the local rage when getting behind one of them meandering at 30 mph down the highway or stopping in the middle of the road to gawk at a scraggly molting cow moose munching on leaves on the side of the highway… Put Anal in front of whatever their trailer, fifth wheel, or drivable behemoth is named. My favorite so far this year…Anal Rustler.
  22. It's like a cow with a cracker on either side.
  23. 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.
