I buy one bottle of hard stuff a year. It is for my flyout hunt for big game in the fall. Because it is flyout weight is an issue. The solution was to buy something in a plastic bottle, R&R for several years which is horrible. Now southern comfort comes in plastic and that is tolerable. Usually...

Suspect my dogs have it or had it at times. I treat runny stool when I see it and if it looks like dog isn't well. Okay stool I am not looking for a solution to what I don't consider a real issue. I've had it once and I'm pretty sure the dogs didn't give it to me, only my own stupidity.

Still mild Greg?

Bob my 15 year old golden managed a few birds this fall and the 11 year old is still a machine. As far as fishing I live where I live because of the fishing. When you are ready let me know and we will go after salmon. Oh and I have a 4 year old who tried to kill me this year. Great post. Mike

Actually in Goose’s own strange way he makes a point. MT is really too easy on nonresident hunters and yes I am one. One cheap license for the whole season and allowing “professional “ trainers all the time and access. Other states don’t offer that good of a deal. Those dog trailers and big...

Congrats, my wife has hunted with me for decades. She also is a better dog trainer than me.

My wife and I used to fight that, using a stack of old towels by the door. As so many of our dogs have passed over the years we could care less now. All carpet is gone and mostly tile and hardwood, it does help that I was a flooring contractor, but their lives are too short to complain about them.

It is looking like this will be a monumental year for red salmon fishing on the Kenai. Projected low returns of king salmon will shut the set netters down and a potential listing of the kings with the endangered species act could shut the drift fleet down. There will be no way to stop the hordes...

I remember that beer. Drank it as a kid growing up in Wisconsin, do they still make it?

Cable cutters, I had a dog get caught in a snare and I still have nightmares. I was fortunate because he was well trained and quit struggling because I didn't have a cutters at that time. Today on a poop break I have a cutters handy. Forceps because of quills, thinking back I think this was one...

Yep, I grew up on a farm, tough way to make a living.

My wife likes to do dog agility and so do I. So we did some trials on weekends and hunted/hiked during the week. Started in MT/ND on pheasants until I fell in a badger hole and had to miss Nebraska. The travel trailer is a way better way to go than motels

Well I can’t comment about land cost in the lower 48 I have just noticed something of interest. Traveling through northern Alberta where they grow a lot of wheat I see massive areas where they are clearing forests to make wheat fields. I mean the amount of effort, time and money being put in...

I left GreatFalls Tuesday and people were golfing,mid 60s. NOw at fort St. John and still very little snow. Gonna be a real bad fire year I am afraid.

48 years and counting, if we make it to 50 she says I can maybe get off probation.

Well I tried the desert quail thing this year. It was pleasant walking and I managed to scratch out a few. My pheasant dogs work too close to be really effective and at 72 I can’t run like I used to, but still it was fun and I will try it again next year. For some stupid reason I am heading home...

I got birds over my 15 year old this year, short walks in moderate cover. My 11 year old is still going strong. Now the 4 year is trying to kill me.

I moved to Fairbanks in spring of 75. That first year it was minus 42 on Halloween and after it got seriously cold. The next year I moved to Goldstream where I was above the ice fog. About 85 I moved to the Kenai for better fishing and seldom seeing anything worse than minus 30. In the 70s and...

My first year in AK I wintered on Badger Road outside of Fairbanks. We hit minus 60 at times that winter and the northern lights actually made noise. I still enjoy the lights.

In Great Falls putting trailer to bed. Heading home next week, should be a cool drive.
