have a great time, guys. let's put some feathers in the dust.

wow. look at those scars. that boy has done some battle.

i got within 18" one time, and that's it. never did get lucky enogh to connect. congrats to you, and to the win.

pretty cool. good job, tim

i believe you are entitled to use ALL the lake. it's the "navigable waters" part of an act. it started when farmers/ranchers would close off a river, not allowing boats, rafts, or fishermen access to their "private" ranches. the courts said if a boat would float on it, or you could walk it, it was not a part of the farm/ranch but was community waters. you CANNOT step on dry land, above high waterline, but you can walk/float any water the boat will fit. short point is, he is wrong and you have a 1/3 interest in that lake. check with the local law, of course. but you can actually open a travel lane on your property, and allow the PUBLIC to fish that lake. perhaps just a jab at him, but in no way does he own the waters and his property, by federal law, ends at the high water line. yours does, also

good luck one and all. these are great hunts.

hello, all. got to alaska just fine. no poblems. we did pull off to eat in snoqualmie, washington. connie looked at a tire on her side of the trailer and noticed a bubble. not good when pulling 16,000 lbs. anyway, right next to the restaurant was a auto mechanic shop and for $20.00 i ate breakfast and came out to a trailer ready to go. two days on a ship later, we were in ketchikan, then on to home on prince of wales island. i'm going to actually try to post a pictue here. we'll see. it was about 4 degrees when we got home, so the fire was lit immediately. after a toddy o 2 it was time for bed, and the house was toasty. anyway, all is well and i'll get back as i can.[ATTACH=CONFIG]14159[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]14171[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]14180[/ATTACH]

hope it was a good one, john

pretty cool, for sure

yep. i agree. most of us wish we could do the same work.

i'll go along with arty. cabelas is your best start. i've got some danner also and love them. i haven't had a pair of irish setter boots in 50 years, so thing might have changed with them. lol.

looking good so far

i'm headed there. lol

well, a bit early but i'm ready to go home. we leave for alaska on monday. of course, i'll be hauling up a big trailer full of "stuff". i'm actually over weight, so i hope it pulls well. we'll see. this year, i'm headed to seattle to board the alaske ferry. a 44 hour, 2 night ride. i've never done that, so we'll see. of course, i'm headed to dial up country. i most likely won't post a bunch. but i will eat tons of crab and shrimp, with salmon in between. i've got a few forum members coming up this year, again, so expect some posts from them when they get home.

must be my computer. i couldn't get sound

wow. he's a keeper of a tenant for sure

don't be surprised to find a cougar. where there are deer, there will be cougars. a 5" spread is a big animal.

ahh. enjoy the fishing and crabing, bug. we leave march 24 for alaska. fish, crabs, shrimp and lots more.

not a trajedy just yet. there may be a hanger somewhere in muslim land, holding live passengers and an intact plane. don't give up hope, albeit slim.

i agree also. keep the game & fish duties to the biologists and trained professionals in the game and fish department, not on the ballot where the untrained people vote on things.

it's truly quite a mystery. i am (was) a commercial pilot in the day. everything is not electrical. there is always a dual system with a mechanical backup. airspeed indicator, horizon, pitch/yaw indicator, etc. with a quick fire, the plane is flyable unless you are dead. then, we have the terrorist thing. maybe hi jacked? maybe that's why the transponders were turned off. with electrical failure, the transponders have backup power totally unrelated. why are cell phones of people on board still working? if the plane hit water, there would be floating debris. if it hit ground, why are the black boxes not working. if it were terrorism, why is no one claimbing it. if it were a hi jacking why is there no ransom demands. this one is a very strange one. maybe, while looking, we'll find amelia earhardt. lol

ahh, in a few months we'll all be wishing for snow. lol

been pretty nice in wyoming. we're in the 50's and i'm lovin it.

prayers said, ross. the lord will provide.

we have lots of heartache and fighting to do on this very subject. i wish i could say we'll win, but i really do not know. the supreme court is stacking against us, and the constitution.
