RE: Alaska Thread
BEARHUNTR- I'VE HUNTED THAT AREA FOR SHEEP IN THE TONSINA WALK IN AREA. ONE TIME ON THE WAY OUT WE SAW A SINGLE GOAT BUT I THINK THEY ARE FURTHER SOUTH THAN WE WERE. FROM WHAT I'VE HEARD.
GET 4 POINT CRAMPON ( INSTEP CRAMPONS)
LONG HANDLED MTN. AXE
THESE ARE MANDATORY SAFETY ITEMS IN MY BOOK.
I HAVE HUNTED THESE CRITTERS PROBABLY 15 TIMES IF NOT MORE. I HAVE 10 DAYS PLANNED FOR AUGUST TO CHASE THEM IN A REGISTRATION AREA, SINCE I DID NOT GETA DRAWING TAG. GOT TO GET ONE WITH MY BOW BEFORE I GET TOO MUCH OLDER. 56 THIS YEAR [:'(][:@]
I ALWAYS CARRY 175 FEET OF ROPE AND I WOULD NEVER DO IT WITHOUT MY KOFLACH PLASTIC BOOTS. IF YOU ARE A SIZE 11 A FRIEND HAS A PAIR HE HAS NEVER WORN OUT OF THE HOUSE...HIS FOOT IS TOO WIDE (EEE)
GOOD LUCK - PAT

RE: Alaska Thread
Hello
Just a quick question . Where can one find MRE's in Alaska ?? I live in Homer and having them shipped from the lower 48 is just nuts !!!! I guess you cant have them shipped by air due to the heaters in the MRE's .I do go to Los Anchorage a couple times a month but have not found anything there either . Thanks for any info .

RE: Alaska Thread
Hey Nim - You have any open water for sticking pike up there yet? 
Everytime I run across one of those fancypants videos on an outdoor channel of guys fishing for pike I think of you and the fun you have driving a piece of wood through them! LOL I think your style is a lot more challenging.
Got your spring bear hunting planned out? Going down to PWS again, or are you coming down to hunt with Stitch? I see his Svenson skiff moving around a little on the trailer, but I haven't seen hide nor hair of him. I wanted to shoot the breeze a little - maybe I'll catch him one of these times.

ONE STITCH IS GETTING A NEW BOAT BUILT. HE IS ON CLOUD NINE OVER THAT. I'M GOING DOWN TO HUNT WITH HIM FOR DEER IN NOV. BUT WILL BE GET 3-4 FOLKS OUT HERE FOR SPRING BEAR. I JUST WANT A BIGGER BEAR BUT OTHER GUYS WOULD BE HAPPY WITH AVERAGE BEARS. THEY HAVE NOT ARROWED BEARS YET. ALWAYS GREAT FUN TAKING GUYS OUT FOR THERE FIRST BOW HUNT FOR BEARS.
I WANT TO GET BACK DOWN THERE IN THE SPRING FOR HOOTERS BUT ALWAYS GET TOO BUSY. LATER PAT

RE: Alaska Thread
Nim- I will be headed south to Oregon for turkey myself the last week in April and the first week in May. I plan to try for Merriams in the north-central part of the state then put in a little more time for Merriams further east in either the Blues or the Wallowas. Near the end of my trip I'll go back down to the Medford area to see if a can collect a Rio like I was lucky enough to do last Spring. Hunting those "nuisance birds" can be a lot of fun! 
I'll be putting a lot of miles on the son-in-law's pick up!
I hadn't heard about Stitch's new boat - maybe I ought to buy his Tollycraft from him. LOL Sounds like you have yourself a full-up schedule for the next few rotations. Good luck on your travels! I'm looking forward to a little more warmth in the sun so I can finish tinkering on the boat and get it back out on the water! A fresh King salmon steak would really be yummy off the BBQ about now.
