As long as you're behind her Catrina, make sure that you talk incessantly with completely random topics. It's what she'd be doing to you...................:D:D. Love you Gals.

Dakota Posted January 27, 2009 Report Share Posted January 27, 2009 ....Hey, Luke, Silvertip, Flyera, Potash, and Dakota......if you can , it would be wonderful to have you up for this hunt-! Thank you so much for including me in your wishes, Kathleen, that really means a lot! However, as much as I really want to go (I mean rrrreeeeaaaaaallllllyyyyyyy want to go :D:D) and add a bear rug or a moose head to the wall, I'm afraid I don't see a way. I'm a college student going to a private University and don't have the money to make it up or pay for a license and tag. I have the time available to do it, just not the cash. I'm not the only forum member in a bind though, is there any way for future hunts a Realtree Forum Hunt Scholarship (or something of the like, I'm just brainstorming here) could be formed to help get some members to a hunt they wouldn't have been able to make before?

Dakota Not a bad idea, except for the fact that you have a few hundred members that would like to have that scholarship. You just need to concentrate on your studies right now, get your degree, get a good job and then the rest will take care of itself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dakota Posted January 27, 2009 Report Share Posted January 27, 2009 Well of course there would have to be some qualifications of some sort and I wasn't just talking about myself, just to clarify that. Right now, I think I'll just stick to chasing antelope, deer, elk and turkeys here in SD. Dakota Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's what she'd be doing to you...................:D:D. Love you Gals. .......Oh.....and like, how do you think I felt, when I was sandwiched between you and SteveB. in Colrado, day after day, prior TO and AFTER the election......it was like being subjected to marathon live broadcasts of Hannity and Colmes (or whatever it's called) in stereo.... ..........peppered with blond jokes , then some other jokes that I didn't get, and then some more jokes.... -yes.....-I do remember the one and only time I was talking your ear off while we were hunting...(everyone knows you're not supposed to talk or make unnecessary noise during the hunt)-BUT..... -then....I thought some conversation would have a sort of calming effect on you, since you were obviously stressed and in a near state of panic when we were "lost" for a few hours in the dark ,with no moon or light, trying to make our way off of the mountain,negotiating the winding creeks , and stumbling over beaver dams and through cow patties..... -I understand your fear of the dark, Jim....-it's all right...-when you get up here in June, you won't have to worry about that at all up here...:D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aksheephuntress Posted January 27, 2009 Report Share Posted January 27, 2009 Kathleen, Can a successful hunter donate the meat? I know all the meat has to come out----but after that can I donate to a local family for their winter supply? Flying home a moose would be pretty pricey. CB ...Hi, Bob...-I missed your question at first.... -sorry! -.....yes, a successful hunter can donate meat.... -which ...your question reminded me of an important point...-everyone coming up for this Alaska hunt and gathering will be returning home with plenty of meat and fish...-whether they are the hunter/successful, or not...-will be a group effort... -also....-moose are so large, with so much meat yeilded...-it would be neat if all the extra meat that wasn't transported home with participants....got shared and sent out to other Realtree forum members that would like some.... -we have 4 freezers here at the house.... -whoever wanted to send up the postage, could receive a share of the meat .....(40-lb freezer boxes send really well in the mail from up here, all the time...2-day express) -Thanks, Bob!....good question you had...hope you can make it! -kathleen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
