We only got one moose this fall and a few caribou, few bear. Picked up a 308 Scar this PFD day; my new hunting gun nx season. Haven't seen many wolves, got to do some riding when kids come home from school at Xmas. Anyway, what's new and exciting in MatSu?
Sorry to not getting back at you sooner, just woke up a little while ago, getting ready for a supposed busy day driver the concrete mixer, its going to a Pentecostal church in Palmer. Weather in mat Su is mild, just a trace of snow on the ground, Sarah Palin has been mostly silent on recent events. I honestly cannot comment on what is blowing around the valley about the election, I do know there is a lot of very disappointed people. They didn’t want to vote for Romney but did anyway, basically I get the impression many just did not go out and vote that they probably knew it was going to be a wasted effort.
Myself my job is about to seasonally end, maybe another week or two, all this season it has been almost like guarding a graveyard, dead slow, I only hired one driver for the whole summer season, when it got busy we hired temporary drivers who used to work for us and had the time from their other job.
I do believe Alaskans will whole hardheartedly endorse being an independent state, as you are aware its been a sore subject for decades. My plans of heading to Oz is still there, possibly just before breakup, if my passport application is rejected I will haul my trailer to Edmonton and work the oil patch for the summer. My year to date wages are half what they have been from years past, I am in debt big time, I may have to actually sell some of my guns.
Depends on how much Obama intrusion we get here in Alaska I suppose. i stockpiled over 130 gallon sized cans of the Auguson Farms freeze dried foods, thats enough for me to live on for a year. If I had a moose to harvest I can get another years worth of meat. have to wait and see, last I heard some group wants to relocate all the Valley moose.
I think its because Fish and Feathers believe the people will start to massively poach, and that quite possible since salmon season was a total bust. I hope you have prepped for a long winter and ALL your needs have been addressed. I still need more stored water cause my well has nasty water full of iron. Good Luck to you and happy hunting!
