Ugly as that is, you are lucky to have that much arm left. Not to mention other bits of useful anatomy that you might have blasted!

Hope you heal up fast and get on with rehab.

Lookin good:), hope you get full use back in it. like I said lucky is was the forearm and not something more life threatening , a guy from my highschool shooting team had a similar accident and took a .223 round through his lung and heart, he made a full recovery so with a little time I think that arm will be good as new;)

Yikes man! Make sure you give it time to heal, and when it's ready use it.


Rumors of my assimilation have been greatly exaggerated.

You must shoot a lot of female ruffed grouse.

lbtrapper talked to my Alaska hunters safety class today using skype and had my junior high kids full attention. He did a wonderful job and appears to have made a huge impact on my students. Thank you so much lbtrapper, that was pretty stellar of you to agree to do this.

Him and a buddy were at home cleaning a rifle and did not follow your basic gun saftey rules, apparently the unloaded rifle was loaded. One guy decided to dry fire the weapon with the barrel in an unsafe direction and the other guy ended up catching the bullet with his chest. And like I said the guy that initiated the accidental discharge was on my high school varsity shooting and should have known the rules more so than your average highschool kid.

One of my bosses shot his wife's calf off with an unloaded 22-250. She never did let him hear the end of that one!

That's a wicked wound Brad! Looks like they did a good job.

That wound looks pretty good compared to my buddy here.. he was unjamming is 12 ga and it shot him through the hand and took about half of that including most of his fingers, then it went through his upper arm and bicep muscle through the bone and now the arm and hand is only good for holding his cigerett, not much else.

I hope you heal up 100% I wonder how many sef shootings can be atributed to the single shot [Please excuse my language... I'm an idiot] hammer...a bunch I bet.

(pull back hammer) its amazing how the filter on here wont let you talk about a gun part that you pull back to shoot smile

how do you set and under ice net? especially in a river?

I hunted in saskatchewan and they had a net under the ice for fish. it was I would guess about 200 ft long....
with only two holes.... that was mind boggling how they set it that distance...

I got my under ice net in from Memphis net and twine. In the next few days ill put my lines under the ice. I chop holes about 6 feet apart and use a long pole with a hook to reach under the ice to a weighted line and pull it the same lenght as the net. The ice ill be using is for smelt and is 112ft long. 112 ft to save $6.00 on hanging service. These nets are sinking also so u don't have to worry about freezing in.


Bring on cold weather,

We do like Nolluk but chop holes about 10 ft apart and use a long flimsy pole with a short two ft string on one end with a floater or empty whiskey bottle or oil jug tied on, and tie a long line to it and send it through to the next hole, the jug will pop up in the hole and you take off the long line pull the stick and jug back out and tie it on again and send it through to the next hole until you are are at the other end of the holes and then simply tie your net on and pull it under the ice with the line.

When you check it just tie the line on one end and streatch it out on top of the ice and pull your net and fish out one end of the two holes you have left and when done pull the line and the net sets itself under the ice.

The Canadieans do it on a lake on clear ice with no current so they use a self propelled little surf board type thing that is pretty slick but wont work here with our current.

That's crazy Jeff. Our last fuel barge didn't make it.

Kusko I believe it is a rumor that it didn't make it. According to KYUK the last fuel barge came in on monday and left on tuesday. That is why our price is jumping to 7.06 tomorrow.

Yes they are pushing it and will have alot of heavy equipment onboard to ride home if they dont make it smile

You Bethel guys are getting hosed our fuel prices dropped from $7.50 to $6.20 this summer, I guess it depends on when you order it.
