Now you are talking about breaking game laws. I agree that everyone should be expected to follow game laws regardless of their background(especially the more generous subsistence regulations). These laws apply to everyone. Anyone can break these laws, it is up to law enforcement to enforce them. The thing I took issue with was your initial assertion that subsistence hunting should be limited to methods of that that approximate the way things were done about a century ago. This is an argument that I find arbitrary and pointless. Why force anyone to turn back the clock 100 years? What purpose does it serve? And why not roll the clock back 200 years and require them to use flint spear points? Honestly your original argument reminds me of anti-hunters saying that hunters are cheating because we use “hi powered rifles with scopes” and that if we want to hunt we should not be allowed to utilize such technologies and should be limited to spears. When it comes down to it it’s not our method of take they dislike, it’s the fact that we are allowed to hunt and that they can’t control us.

I agree with you. I heard some or those stories when I spent time in your old stomping grounds. I do hate hearing these stories and I would like to see those guilty of waste being punished. I can only attest to the village that I lived in and from what I saw there was very little waste. For the most part these people policed themselves and there was a huge stigma against waste. If a bad seed was caught wasting game they were simply told by the elders “you can’t hunt”. I only know of one person this happened to and his right to hunt had been taken away long before I moved there and he was never given back the right to hunt.

I like the Last Alaskans, Old whats her name that has the airport, can be a pain, but she must be one tough cookie to live the life she lives, just that some of her shooting scenes tend to be staged, but maybe not..I like Elmo te old man married to the Indiam lady, and the Hailstones, they seem to be real... So many of these shows tend to over play the dangers of the wild, how the hell can you starve or fall and survive? You have a camera crew and a helicopter etc behind the scenes..Like the Sat morning hunting shows, the kill the animal, then film the hunt..Its just entertainment I suppose..

It is a shame The Last Alaskans was not renewed. Sue is tough no doubt. What gets me is how she know how to fix everything. I got to talk to her for 15-20 minutes on my last sheep hunt up that way. She is definitely interesting .  betta fish laying on bottom | |||

Jim, that makes another reason we never bothered to own a TV. The few episodes we have seen were when visiting friends Anyone who claims the 30-06 is ineffective has either not tried one, or is unwittingly commenting on their own marksmanship Phil Shoemaker Alaska Master guide FAA Master pilot NRA Benefactor www.grizzlyskinsofalaska.com | |||

WEll Phil, I suspect if a reality show was real it would bore you to death!! bottom line I enjoyed the show, in fact its the only one I liked or watched, I mean they are shooting old beat up rifles and misses are common, but they survive and lead a good life..I take everything on TV with a grain of salt even the politics of our government, a cartoon within itself.. Our sat morning hunting shows?? not that's a different ball of wax, they sit in a blind with the latest high dollar junk gun with a 6x20 power scope with gadgets galore, wait for a perfect broadside then load the gun, mess with the power, mess with the safety then shot and shoot the animal at 50 to 100 yards off a high dollar rest. A shot that could be made with pappys 22 L.R....oh yeah and on a high fenced Texas ranch that's overloaded with bred deer, that support only horns that come about thru management, and protein..now that's reality!!  God bless Heimo and I hope hes making a financial killing on the show... Chit going to prison, I thought that was real, most would not have shown that..his wife makes some awesome caribou shots with that Russian milsurp rifle don't you think?
