Crud! I thought we were going to get to hunt for some ladies. I probably couldn't afford the trophy fee anyway.

Longbob
in your case wouldn't it be poaching?

I'll pass the word Ann

Longbob - used to live in Texas, moved to Alaska, can't afford any of the fees you refer to..... Seriously, the Sitka Blacktail deer hunting is great and if you're lucky, you might get to have an "up close and personal" visit with mr.brown bear when he hears you ring the dinner bell

Rock,

You and Kmule would probably be the first to turn me in and take the evidence.

Longbob

I suspect we could probably make a good deal with your wife for your rifles during the divorce proceedings.....

Although it would be tempting, we wouldn't turn you in, we men have to stick together. Especially nowadays when the ladies are independant enough to go off on hunting trips by themselves.

of course if you just mailed me your 35 whelen.....

(Sorry Ann I know we are getting off track again)

There is nothing like a good thread hi-jacking. At least it keeps it at the top.

Ann,

I'm sorry too. I'll leave this thread alone.

Hey Long, no problem! TTT works and you guys have kept it clean. Looks like I got a group of rowdy 60 year old lady artists to go on a week's stay. My mom included! So you don't have to hunt but the hunting is very good! I plan to go and check out the hunting!

Hmmmm Longbob

while we are for our respective hunting seasons to open we could start a thread-jacking season...

I'm sure ScottB and maybe Pecos might be game

-rh

Ann glad to hear you may be booked, (will you be able to keep up with the ladies? if they are anything like my mother and mother inlaw it might be a challenge)

Does this mean none of you guys have better halves that hunt????

Jeff,

You need to work on that! There are a lot of weeks available to do this hunt so lets get some ladies to go do this!

Ann,

Tough enough to fing guys that hunt in CA let alone gals.

Do u have a flyer made up?. I'll post at a Safari Club meeting.

Ann, it sounds like a very interesting trip, and the price is certainly reasonable.

Holly and I may be interested in going in November. I'll discuss it with her later today and let you know if we have any questions.

I've never been to Alaska before but have always wanted to go. This may be a good way to "break the ice" so to speak and get a look at the place.

Can we do some fishing along with the hunting?

Sounds cool, Mark, yes, you can fish too. Let me know. Mike, I will send you a Word document about it.
