Recorded history is a mere blip in the overall graph of the earths fluctuating climate.Right now we are near the bottom of the 3rd interglacial of the current ice age(the quarternary).It will get warmer for the next few hundred years then we will be over the hump and on our way to the 4th glacial.
There have been 5 known ice ages and we are in the 3rd interglacial of the 5th ice age.The last glacial period of the quarternary ice age ended 11000 years ago with the start of the Holocene epoch,which is where we are now.

Yeah, but we now have MUCH MORE political hot air!

Shucks might miss hump day. Better buy some short sleeve shirts.)

Well we went out and got 40, pretty excited about goose soup!

Check out the brow tines on this guy.

WOW! Great find!

Nice sheds! What is that machine the antlers are leaning against?

The machine is a Pac-Trac sc-2300 Its kind of a handy little machine for hauling wood and gravel up from the beach, and loading the boat.It has a hydraulic dump and can pull anything if you put some weight in it.

Must be about 30-40 yrs old has a Japanese gas engine.

That would be handy to pack out a moose I bet.

Yes we use it to pack moose up from the boat most years. Its kind of heavy to haul around.

Found a few morels again this year down on the beach in front of the house, just two steps from the water.I am pretty sure its near where the kids were swimming last year and built a fire.

Will let them grow a few days if they don't go under water and see if they get any bigger, look sunburned already.

Hived a swarm today. Mine of course.

The kings are really starting to come in!

Nice King, I hope they let us have a few this year.

My bugs are doing great.

Nice King HFT. Got plans for any more fishing?


Looks like the girls are working hard Jeff. How much honey you get last year? Our are doing super well this year.

Almost looks like your girls are building a queen cell on that frame Jeff.

I lost one of my hives to a black bear earlier ...


I set up an empty box hoping to capture the scattered girls and put up a game camera. Caught the culprit.

Bummer Chickeminer, good thing you got two packages, might want to look into an electric fence. mine are in range of my 7mm mag from the porch, next to my dogs.

And that queen cell already hatched and they swarmed the first month, I have two hives now

First year Bee keep Full freezer. I hope I can get some fireweed honey this year but might not take any and see if I can overwinter them.

Looks like that bear yielded plenty of meat Chickenminer!

Any body been having luck with the Bears . Here is a few on trail camera and one we took over week end . Have to take pics of phone can't get them to email over . This is what 2300 lb of donuts get you . The hanging barell is between 4.8 and 5 feet off ground

Nice bears! Still waiting.................but I did go to the Chitna and pulled a limit of reds.

Nice bear V, odd year for me for spring bears, they showed up earlier then I have ever seen them at the bait (late April). We took one boar Mid May and the site went cold now when it should be the busiest.
