I was drawn this year for a Central Tanana River Any Bull Moose tag. A permit for any bull in an area that is one of the most heavily managed areas of Alaska. Slam dunk, maybe? I always had my eye on a few side streams down river from Fairbanks. I did some checking with a local and it turned out...

As I have noted before, my job sucks. It takes me all over Alaska, where I prombtly get eaten alive by various vermin. Here are some examples of how much it sucks. https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/itFuS3ATUVFKa3V5zaaAlFy_g-9TYLdZQfFyJm5wwSY=w1280-h340-no...

So, last summer I picked up an old, abused, Herter's Duck-Goose boat. I am finally making the time to repair the repairs the previous owners made to it. Most of that work is to grind/sand off fiberglass patches installed while the boat was in use out in a remote marsh. The patches cover some...

So another person has followed their GPS to their (assumed) death. Following Chris "super tramp" McCandless as an inspiration, a teen has vanished into some of the harshest high desert in North America...

I had another subsistence any caribou permit for a resident only area. I had tried getting out earlier in August but couldn’t make it work out. I did get out the second week of September, and used an ATV to get into some really nice areas, but the animals were all moving at night and were gone...

After seeing comments on Dani's "Short Bus" and then Matts comments on old FJ's I decided to post up two links on old Toyota's running through the Alaska back country. The photo series in the two links are not mine. They were posted on a local Alaska hunting forum when someone asked about...

Someone on here has a coworker that is the former duck guy from Alaska that developed the state's first duck hunting laws. I need to pick that guys brain as to the why of something. We Alaska duck hunters have a question as to why the Feds determined that Golden eyes would be in the basic...
