Wobbly_Alaska Posted October 27, 2010 Report Share Posted October 27, 2010 Sorry not a lot of extra time for being here the last few months, it has been a rock star year of hunting, Board of Game meetings, Legislative action for our business, and work in General... so here are some photos to look over. in short we have filled 5 of the 6 draw tags this year and a special subsistence caribou harvest we were awarded late this fall.. My oldest Daughter filled her caribou tag with a monumental hunt that entailed passing Dall sheep on the way up a mountain to her bull only to have it fall down a 500 foot ravine with only one way in ( the TOP) and one way out (the BOTTOM) the album can be seen on my face book page. http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=30052&id=100000477065010&l=683703ccbb but here is a peak. our two 12 year olds each bagged a cow moose this fall. Ian and Natalie ( hers was 50 foot out side the front door) http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=32047&id=100000477065010&l=f23acc4cee My 69 year old partner also bagged his first moose this year, also a cow on our mining claim 300 yards from where Ian got his the week before... ( album>>) http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=43109&id=100000477065010&l=c14497df43 and this last weekend... we drew a nelchina caribou tag in that i filled my tag and assisted in the harvest and recovery of 4 others with some good friends and one i made on the hunt... http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=46046&id=100000477065010&l=d280c91938 take a look at all the photos... and enjoy them. i still have an archery moose tag to fill this season. and now that it is beginning to snow i will have to get after it. so far i only have 52 days afield since August 24... LOL much to the wifes dismay... and time to start planning next years.. if your interested in applying for and Alaska draw tag the winter draw supplement is out on the ADFG web site http://www.wildlife.alaska.gov/index.cfm?adfg=permits.hunting :rockon: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wobbly_Alaska Posted October 27, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 27, 2010 I Guess i should add... that the Benefit of taking my kids and old folks out hunting.. is that YOU KNOW WHO... does all of the cutting, gutting, and packing.. one moose hind quarter is about the size of a mature white tail deer field dressed. ~125-150 lbs. my daughters caribou boned out to 200 lbs of meat and the smaller ones last week come in about 150 lbs field dressed. helping out the others.. i never knew i had so many hunter friends that had NEVER done it before. all of our meat was processed at HOME, and this year we benefited 7 other families with donations of clean game meat. on top of the Halibut, ling cod, sockeye and coho salmon this year... We are EATING SOME good... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wtnhunt Posted November 4, 2010 Report Share Posted November 4, 2010 Not on facebook here, don't know that I can look at the other pics, but looks like a couple freezers worth of fine eating there from the pics you posted here. Congratulations to your family, and friends on their success. Good luck filling that archery tag. Caribou is on my list of hunts I hope to do someday, your daughters there looks very nice.

Congratulations to your family, and friends on their success. Good luck filling that archery tag. Caribou is on my list of hunts I hope to do someday, your daughters there looks very nice. thanks for the compliment on the bou... sorry it took so long to get back again.. but am in the middle of regulatory year stuff with the board of game and fish... as well participating in the management plan for a few of our caribou herds up here... and the holiday season... well it is busy as an interlock provider... anyway. I took kiddos Bou over to be scored for Boone and Crocket... and she received a Gross score of 403 and 3/8 and a net score of 383 6/8 ... though she did not make the all time book it made the awards book with a 375 minimum net. it was really cool as this was the first time i have ever measured anything and the process was very detailed and enlightening. the mount i am having done should also be worthy of the fine animal he was. (also a first for me) not sure i am going to get to that archery tag or not... time is waning for me quickly. it ends the 27 of this month and day light is short these days in a hurry... currently -6 and i really don't need another moose to deal with LOL... but i am sorta planning my first Deer hunt ever. May head after some sitka black tail down in the Prince william sound area out of Cordova Ak... when i head down there next month for work... well see if it can pan out or not... Weather is a big factor in the winter for heading out to the islands for deer... Edited November 18, 2010 by Wobbly_Alaska Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
