458WinNew Alaskan blogger
My daughter has been sucked into the blogosphere by my old friend Ron Spomer so it should prove interesting to read first hand accounts from a woman Alaskan guide's perspective

FourtyonesixPhil it’s really neat that you could raise your kids how you did. Not many kids being raised that lifestyle anymore. There’s another woman guide shooting a 416 down southeast way that gets quite a bit of press and grew up in the family guide business. But she’s raising kids on the boat while guiding last I heard.

I think Tia knows most of the female guides, including Mutts

FourtyonesixI think mutts tested for her registered the same day I did. But I’m not for sure on that. I remember a younger girl in there that day. And that’s about all I remember, nerves were going a bit that day....

Phil, you raised her right, kudos.

458WinThe hunter was not too happy at first with having a woman guide.
But by the end of the hunt he had decided it was OK !

medvedthank you Phil to bring that up and raising your kids that way.
Phil,
That was a great story and I'm going to bookmark that page so I can check back frequently. You raised some great kids. Good job.

"...I advise the gun. While this gives a moderate exercise to the body, it gives boldness, enterprize, and independance to the mind. Games played with the ball and others of that nature, are too violent for the body and stamp no character on the mind. Let your gun therefore be the constant companion of your walks."

458WinMart, Even though I "know" most of the stories and details of my daughter's hunt and adventures, actually reading her renditions is fun for me as well .

Mutts has been top dog in that family for the last 20 years.
I can attest to Tia being a very accomplished guide (gets it from Dad), and now we see that she is a very articulate writer (also from Dad), but the real question is how do her cookies compare to Rocky’s?
