If you think it would be"Cool" to have locals guiding suggest it to the local Homer AC

I think anything to take anybody off welfare in the area would be cool. Always have.
You pay them to harvest a local resource. It has been a tremendous help in self esteem and productivity in the area.

Now if QuickPack paid guys to harvest the logs, like they do now, Build two or three nice quality lodges in the outlying areas of the lower river, that get hunted by no body because there are so many moose, and had exclusive rights to the area seems doable. Providing jobs to locals and helping decrease the Federal dole harvesting a resource that is plentiful at this time and in the future provided it is managed. I do see that as cool thing. Done from the inside it would be viewed a lot better than outside guides coming in. There is vast areas of the Lower Yukon that never see a hunter. Just discussion.


I was in Beaver Alaska watching locals there cache in on having outsiders come in. Year round. The money stayed in the Athabaskan village in lodging, food and activity costs. All they were doing was coming to view the subsistence lifestyle. Everyone seem fine with it because it was done from inside the village. They were not harvesting game but it shows that not all villages are bringing in outside people to add to the village income.

Jeff I know your not against people having jobs and being productive and feeling good about themselves, so is it just that you don't like familytrapper or what gives?

I just dont like people forcing their ideas on people that dont want it..I am not against jobs I started a program that helps anyone make money if they want too..not just a select few.

If Len is so passionate about having guides come in or starting a guide service around here he should go to the tribal meetings in what ever village he is so concerned about and ask the people if they want it.

Perhaps Saint Marys wants it? ..did he ask anybody from there if they wanted it?..or is he just posting his Ideas on a trapping forum? before asking the people who it will effect....what gives is right.

See, I don't see the problem in starting up a transporter business using the local corporation money to get it started. Money earned (minus tips) could be distributed equally among the shareholders.

You guys don't have a problem commercial fishing up there or having people from the Kuskokwim come up there and fish commercially. What's the difference between fish and moose?

Like I said its not up to anyone on this forum. if anyone has a good idea about guiding here dont ask me... I dont own the land here (except under my house.)

If you guys think its a great idea propose it at a tribe or corporation meeting in person perhaps in your own region first.

Surley there are unemployed and homeless in your area that need a job.

I am not the Chief here so if you all want to gang up on me about this your wasting yours and my time.

I don't think we were asking you, we were having a discussion. My gosh, do you ever have a discussion about things that happen anywhere outside the lower yukon?

Jeff just an FYI. Homer doesn't have a CDQ group. They are only located on the West coast with 50 nautical miles of the Bering Seas Shelf. But maybe you know that and were being sarcastic

So on that note... I took my 06 for a walk this morning and put some meat in the freezer. Not a big rack but he was nice and fat and close enough to the road to get out with the sled. One hour to find him and make the shot, 3 1/2 hours to drag it out... lol!

Sweet APP! I am practically pacing in anticipation of a week of deer hunting starting Nov. 17th. Kinda cool, the teenage daughter asked if she could go again. Can't say no to that!

Sounds great Mike! I wish my daughter was still here to hunt with me. Got married and moved to Connecticut. Daughters make great hunting buddies!
