Get a boat with a harpoon cannon on the front,like the Norwegians and japs use for shooting whales.

I don't want the Bob Barker tracking me all over the place throwing rotten butter bombs at me!

Yesterday I went berry picking in a small shallow channel about 60 miles north of Aklavik. I used my 16' Lund with 25 hp m
Mercury for the shallow water. Berries were plentiful but small and most not ripe. It was rainy but calm with lots of bugs, we picked about a pale. Going home we hit the Peel Chanel of the MacKenzie River and a North West winds came up. 4' waves. Bounced along home,6 miles from home the waves were especially large I crossed an went a little to close to shore. I hit an object under the water and ripped the fin right off my kicker. Made it home with the berries though.

Those fins are overrated anyway

Every one is telling me to use it like that so I might leave it for a while.

As long as the lower unit oil doesn't leak out, you should be fine.

There is still lots of metal below the oil reservoir so I should be ok. Thanks Newhouse.

muskrat I Did that to an old pro 50 Yamaha never cracked the caseing on the lower unit and so ran it that way for 3 or 4 more years before I killed it on a log pulling up to a beaver house. That made for a long couple of days getting home.

Good story otterman

Fishing guide killed a brownie in defense of self and clients with a 9mm. There's a couple links at the bottom, one has pictures of skinning in progress. On of those hard casts went in the flank, through the vitals and was nosed up against the hide on the other side. Still, 9mm just seems so anemic for that purpose.

Be safe out there!

Still haven't had a chance to get out the seal hook, will take a picture of it sometime. Got our selves a moose the other week. Will be pulling out our whaling gear and going after beluga sometime.

Is it ok to say "japs"? WOW!!

Why is that not politically correct now?
Probably cant say Bohunk,Squarehead,Canuck,Newfie,or Drunken Irishman either-FCOL.

I am a Square Head, and wear it with pride!

Yukon Jeff is in this area? Hows it going down there Jeff?

Kusko :

I guess it all depends on an individuals perspective. Jim Rearden is considered an Alaska historian. He has written over 30 books and in several, he uses the term Japs ( Aleutian campaign ). This includes his latest - Old Alaska two:
Events of the 1900's. Then again, at age 90 - he probably could care less about being politically correct.

Mulukchuk I have heard about the same as been reported on the news, I buy fur from the Minok's in Russian Mission, I am assuming that might be his boy.

The cub was the guiding service that flys moose hunters in here.

Sad for sure.

Jeff....
How did your bees do this summer ?
Not good here. My one remaining hive only produced 2.5 gallons.
July & August were just too wet and cold.

Not much tuttu(caribou) around this fall,but aklaks(bears) are always around. This one will make a nice sleeping mat! I thought the view was nice where I caught him. This has to be one of my favorite hunts, probably because its only once a year type deal. Happy Hunting!

Nunamiut that is one nice looking colored bear.
Allan

We have three bears that color at the garbage dump. Would not want to sleep on them though smell rotten garbage all night.
