Fall 24/25 Days Afield Thread

.300WSM makes such a sweet CRACKshhh report it's a shame to muffle that tone..


I have to go out of my way to play MegaJillions, so I sink my lotto munny in ADF&G and Nenana Ice Classic.

DC608 Killey River caribou [mountain caribou, #5 B&C came from this herd]
DI351 McGrath bison, bull
DE711 Afognak elk, bull
DG342 Grant Lake goat
DM611 Portage antlerless moose
DS102 TMA sheep

Ak Resident gets 6x chances/species in a random draw. Each chance= $5 [$10 for bison and muskox], can use all 6 chances toward 1-6 hunts, defined and numbered by ADFG. Winners published "By 3rd Friday in February"

Odds are slim-none, but it doesn't cost a hellavalot, and if you get drawn for a hunt it's impossible to be bored by anyone or anything for the next 6 months.

Missed out on some apparently awesome powder skiing but managed to fill the freezer this morning. Better late than never I guess.

Nice! Hopefully the sun hit you by the time you had to start butchering!

[wendigo]

not sure where else to put this?
helping out on a wood bison reintroduction project.
feed them once a day in a soft release pen, will be free to roam come green. temps are all over the place ranging from -23 to 20F this week.
If the population gets above 500 there will be a limited hunt.

Probably time for a new thread but bumping this one up for now - just looked in my email inbox to see I drew my Colorado elk tag! Guess I need to get to work.
