akp those big racks are not that good eating anyway. Well maybe I shouldn't say that yukonjeff probably has a recipe for them. smile

Looks like a nice little buck for meat in the freezer.

The big ones eat just fine. Later in the season it pays to remove the tarsal glands immediately. I know some will disagree but I really can't tell the difference in a doe or buck at the dinner table. But then again I like SPAM.......

Wow Didn't no I carried such clout. I am forcing the idea on the people of the Lower Yukon. It is a simple discussion. Are you saying we can't discuss in a civil manner something that you don't agree with. Since when do the members of Tman carry such clout in conversation? Did I miss something. Is this where the board of game comes for advice.
Oh and the part of trying things in Homer. We already have lost our over populated moose population. Seems someone didn't have the foresight to see what needed to be done in time.

Where do you come off with that statement. To the contrary find one place on here that I made that statement. It is not something I want at all. I was thinking out side the box when I stated that I think it is a valid idea to consider for a local entity, (down the road) to build a lodge. Owned, run, and guided by Yupik eskimo. ""Locals"" Maybe even throw in there own plane since there are a number of commercial pilots from the area. Keep all the money local. Never once did I advocate for bringing in out side guides to the area.
Since when is an idea of discussion forcing something down anyones throat. I am sure a CDQ company buying fur wasn't exactly in the cards when they first formed but look at the success of that program for the area. Quick pack the CDQ organization is already paying people to harvest logs and building houses. So a lodges and building it is not all that far fetched of a discussion.

Really all I did feel some sincere interest for is the question of moose dispersal on the lower river. I find that intriguing and an interesting topic for discussion. Time to give it all a rest and pack. Be in Anvik and Grayling for the next two weeks.
Looking like Elder Trapper interview might be the first thing on the agenda with the students. Looking forward to that.

Y'all need to find some common ground. I won't have this forum turn into a battlefield. Its okay to exchange ideas, but don't get personal...

Kusko, I agree with the first two, I would follow them with #3 elk, #4 moose, #5 blacktail, #6 caribou. Maybe I feel that way because the only wild game I've had in the last 15 years has been blacktail and a few elk. I REALLY miss sheep and moose.

Yah, I forgot about elk...it's really good too!

And...I forgot about muskox. It's number 2 or 3. Sheep is by far the best.

I don't have any pictures but we enjoyed some afghanistan goat/ sheep the other night it was delicious.

On another note at what age and what type of gun did you start teaching your daughter/son? I was thinking a single shot .22 or .410

barf...

If I could choose what to fill the freezer with it would be.

1. Dirts benjamin franklins
2. some of that grain fed Delta Bison
3. Musk ox
4. moose


That rock mutton is nasty....It might taste great on the side of a mountian, but I can't stand the smell or taste of that sheep meat. I would rather gag down white king instead.

Thats funny I heard that sheep was the best..never had it so dont know...

I like Caribou and when ever I get any I quit eating moose until its gone, I do like moose though.

Kusko sent me a piece of Muskox once ..tasted like soap..he says he washes his meat so could be why smile

Beaver is right up there,and I can eat that almost daily.

Fall young goose as well

eel Pie is to die for smile

Based on your previous posts of what is on your chinette, your taste is skewed and thus must be eliminated from the data set.

If we were talking about a Seagull or a raven's favorite foods, your input would be acceptable.... grin

No sheep so can't say about it I prefer moose over everything else but certainly enjoy elk, deer and caribou in that order. Like Jeff I have been know to eat and enjoy a lot of the more exotic foods Alaska has to offer. I figured when I came out here 30 yrs ago I better try it all with an open mind as I never knew when I was going to be in the situation of either eating something or going hungry. I have been glad I did as that situation has come up on many occasions. Beaver is great when properly cooked so is porcupine but sorry to say eel pie just sounds bad but I will reserve full judgement until I have the opportunity to try it
