casper50 Posted September 16, 2015 Report Posted September 16, 2015 I haven't been on for the last 2 weeks. I've just returned from my annual 2 week float trip to stock the freezer. My buddy and I both got a bull. They will fill the freezers nicley. 1 Quote
Dan Hiebert Posted September 16, 2015 Report Posted September 16, 2015 Congrats! Those are a couple of nice animals. A moose license here in Maine is by lottery, with any hunter over 65 automatically getting a license. According to Maine, Maine is the "moosiest" state in the lower 48, although Lyme Disease has noticeably reduced the numbers. I've been here since May, and I still haven't seen any except by helicopter (which doesn't count to me). I've had some good sized moose tracks in our yard a few mornings, but no sightings, yet. ("Moose peeping" is one of the past-times around here.) Hoping to reinvigorate my hunting skills now that I'm back in a hunter/gun friendly state. Quote
casper50 Posted September 16, 2015 Author Report Posted September 16, 2015 We have moose cows in the yard quite often. Very few bulls in the yard. In this area we are allowed 5 black bears, 5 wolves, 1 bull caribou, 1 bull moose, 1 grizzly every year and 1 wolverine. All at no extra cost to the regular hunting license.The area I go is an "any bull" area. I'm a meat hunter not a antler hunter. Quote
Plymouthy Adams Posted September 16, 2015 Report Posted September 16, 2015 as a younger person I hunted but little and today...I do not hunt....I only eradicate some destructive varmints occasionally..my son, like many is an avid hunter and is a different story, he keeps the freezer full of wild meat.. my meat department at the grocery store has no bag limit signs posted...and I never step in blood gathering it in.. 1 Quote
Don Coatney Posted September 16, 2015 Report Posted September 16, 2015 Alaska is about the only State I have yet to visit. Hope to do so some day. Do folks eat wolverine? It is my understanding that the only animal more ferocious than a wolverine is its cousin the honey badger. There is a great movie on Netflix called the honey badger that is well worth the watch. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4r7wHMg5Yjg Quote
Plymouthy Adams Posted September 16, 2015 Report Posted September 16, 2015 wolverine = souped up badger....ferocious critter I care not to meet up with..I will do a read on the honey badger...will make that my 'learned fact' for the day Quote
Don Coatney Posted September 16, 2015 Report Posted September 16, 2015 Amazon has the movie. Worth the ten bucks. http://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-listing/B00HUTPKFE/ref=sr_1_2_twi_dvd_1_olp?s=movies-tv&ie=UTF8&qid=1442404842&sr=1-2&keywords=honey+badger Quote

Same here. I shoot targets for fun, but I won't shoot an animal unless it's a mercy killing. I went moose hunting once & stepped in more than blood. But I'm in awe of the guys that will go through everything it takes to be a hunter nowadays. All that red tape & effort spoils the sport for me. I was allowed to take my rifle and my bicycle and go ride off into the desert and shoot whatever the heck I wanted. Hell, as a kid I was Frank Buck (in my imagination) out in the wilderness, stalking deadly jackalope and tarantula. But now I don't hunt, and while I will butcher something already cleaned and dressed and packaged at costco, I don't gut anything bigger than a bass. Quote
casper50 Posted September 17, 2015 Author Report Posted September 17, 2015 No red tape in Alaska. Buy one hunting license for $25. I'm allowed 1 moose, 1 to 5 caribou depending upon where I would hunt, up to 5 black bears, 1 brown/grizzly bear, 5 wolves, 1 mountain goat and 3 deer. That's just the big game. All on the regular hunting license. Alaska is an open carry state so no permits needed for guns. The only hassle is getting into and out of where you wish to hunt. I've got that down to a long drive only. Quote
LAKOTA169 Posted September 17, 2015 Report Posted September 17, 2015 Do folks eat wolverine? People from Michigan State eat a lot of Wolverine. Go Green!!!!! Quote
Don Coatney Posted September 17, 2015 Report Posted September 17, 2015 It is for sure they don't eat Buckeyes. Quote

casper50 Posted September 18, 2015 Author Report Posted September 18, 2015 non residents have a few more hoops to jump through for certain animals and tags are more expensive but no more red tape than residents. Quote
Ulu Posted September 19, 2015 Report Posted September 19, 2015 So residents do pay for tags in addition to the license? Quote
casper50 Posted September 19, 2015 Author Report Posted September 19, 2015 no. Non residents do Quote
Desotodav Posted October 23, 2015 Report Posted October 23, 2015 You guys don't want to go hunting deer around North Dakota or Minnesota because they have trained deer there so that they cross where the deer crossing signs are on the highway - it's a funny story... follow this link... https://www.youtube-nocookie.com/embed/CI8UPHMzZm8?rel=0 Maybe it's a conspiracy between the government and the insurance companies? 1 Quote
casper50 Posted October 24, 2015 Author Report Posted October 24, 2015 She's become famous for being stupid. Oh wait a minute, maybe she should run for the senate. Quote
Merle Coggins Posted October 24, 2015 Report Posted October 24, 2015 It's a scary thing when an island tips over and capsizes because it's overloaded. LOL!! Quote
casper50 Posted October 24, 2015 Author Report Posted October 24, 2015 (edited) Won't be surprised to hear that there's a government study about the possibility. Edited October 24, 2015 by casper50 Quote
Plymouthy Adams Posted October 24, 2015 Report Posted October 24, 2015 if this is not a joke then the joke is the general public who are registered voters.. Quote
casper50 Posted October 24, 2015 Author Report Posted October 24, 2015 after the session the senator answered some questions from a newsie. He said it was a joke. Did he look like he was joking? lol Quote
Plymouthy Adams Posted October 24, 2015 Report Posted October 24, 2015 only after the floor erupted in laughter and fellow members were rolling on the floor holding their gut did he realize the message prepped for his delivery was just that....remember the old day of cartoons....the picture of the character with a SUCKER over top his head...blue ribbon sucker is what this guy got..
