Thanks for the reply.
I believe the relative I talked to yesterday. She names the Native who came upon the moose kill minus the antlers. She said this is not an isolated incident.

I know that many yrs ago, the Natives would tell of fisherman who would go into their towns and fish. After they were done, the Natives would later see the dead fish rotting on the banks.

Will ponder over this development. Yes, it’s people from Anchorage who were the guilty parties. And they know who comes from where up in that less populated area of Alaska.
We both agree that the oil money attracted a lot of lowlifes up to Alaska.

Off topic, but I asked her, just for deckuvit what did she think of Sarah Palin. She had a favorable opinion. She said that Alaskans already suspect she’ll make a run for the White House in the next election.

We had a spectacular heat wave down this way. It’s lasted a few days. It was hotter than summertime.
Had to stay indoors.
I used to love going to my favorite canyon (miles long) and try to see snakes. I saw one that was the most beautiful snake I’d ever seen in person or on tv. It had ivory white skin with deep purple triangular shapes and it was about three to four feet long and if an adult connects the points of his thumb and forefinger, well that was the size of its circumference.
Another time I saw a king snake. It wasn’t alarmed by my walking nearby in a parallel path. Saw more dangerous-looking snakes like a thick deep-orange-brownish snake in the nearby grass. I found it because of the fresh trail across the sand. Wanted to get someone’s attention so they could see it but no one came by.

How’d I get into that? Oh yes, the heat. It may continue.

There are motorists and byciclists who deliberately run over them, the same as other small creatures. I’ve seen snakes writhing on the pavement. No weapon nearby so I could finish the job to get them out of their pain.

Gave a quick run through of the newer posts. Don’t know what I can add except I believe Mackenzie.
In one of my earliest posts, I wrote about what can happen when one puts “spirits” inside one’s body. I wrote that in many cultures, it is widely believed that the “spirits” take over, and the real persona of the human is relegated to the background. And that the spirit directs the body of its host as to what to do.
If I’m not mistaken, it is also in the bible.

Well, I’ll return tomorrow. Hope you are faring well up there now that the dark is arriving earlier and earlier.

I HATE HUNTING. I love animals, and I prefer them ALIVE, thank you very much. I absolutely ABHOR the practice of stuffing an animal, or putting a head on the wall. I find nothing more disgusting than those magazines with pictures of people holding up the head of a dead animal, smiling like they just went for a ride at an amusement park. I dreaded moving to Alaska because I knew it was a big hunting state and I couldn’t stand the thought of seeing dead animals. Just this very day, I received a phone call from my neighbor, asking if I would be okay with her coming over onto my property and “harvesting” a cow who had wandered into our front yard. I looked out the window and saw the cow over by our garden, her calf nearby. I couldn’t allow it, even though my neighbor shod my horses and housed her horses in my barn. She had an empty freezer and this was the last day of the hunting season … STILL, I couldn’t allow it. Not on my property. Not in my front yard. Not in front of my daughter. Not in front of me. To my knowledge, the cow and her calf both lived through this hunting season.

Okay, now that’s off my chest …

I’m in no way, shape or form a vegetarian. I love beef, chicken is okay … and I LOVE moose burger. Unfortunately, I’m not a big salmon fan, though I do like it canned with jalapenos, and we do can it that way. I also like halibut a lot. I just can’t cook fish to save my life. Love it in the restaurants, but not so much from my own kitchen. Bummer. As far as the hunting in Alaska goes, I personally have no knowledge of wasted moose meat. I can’t help but believe the kills made for antlers alone are not Alaskans. I realize the Natives in the Villages may be blaming folks from Anchorage … and the could very well be right. Anchorage is full of Seattle and Pacific Northwest transplants, more on the yuppy side than any other part of the state. But still … I’m not saying the Natives in that area are wrong. I’m just saying it’s hard for me to believe because from what and who I know, moose meat is very valuable to the state residents.

Now … I absolutely, completely, without a doubt 100% agree that the Alaska Natives out in the villages should receive a larger percentage of the harvest permits issued each year. From what I understand, they receive subsistence rights to harvest. I’m not a hunter, and I don’t know DNR (Dept. of National Resources … Fish and Game) law. My husband knows it inside out and sideways, but not me. The laws and penalties for poaching need to be MUCH STIFFER. I’m not talking about the guy who steps over the boundary and shoots an animal out of his zone. That kind of stuff is stupid. I’m talking about POACHERS. They are like land and nature rapists, IMO. They are criminals and should not be slapped lightly on the wrist.

My husband is THE most anal retentive person I know. He follows rules to a “T”. Not only does he follow the rules of the law, but he follows the rule of simple respect of life. He doesn’t shoot what he doesn’t eat. He doesn’t catch more than he needs, and more often than not, releases the fish he catches. And he is CAREFUL to not unnecessarily injure the fish (and makes sure it swims off safely) while removing the hook. He gets ANGRY when he sees people disrespecting fish. So do I. I have seen kids STOMPING on fish with their feet, and I have approached them and hollered at them for it.

I don’t know what the answer is, Alife. Most people don’t waste. In fact, here in the Valley, when a moose is hit by a car, the Troopers call groups that have put their names on a list (churches mainly) and the meat is salvaged. Moose and salmon are very important to the State. So many people rely on them to fill their freezers. This would not be a good place to be caught doing what your friends talk about. Alaskan juries would not be kind or forgiving. The people who are doing it are people with money. So they need to be hit hard in the pocket book. REALLY hard. REALLY, REALLY hard.

I am really ticked off about this and will have to talk to my hubby about it. He’ll be even more ticked off about it than I am. I’ll ask him what he thinks would work … outside of stringing the guys up by the kahunas, because I KNOW that’s what he is going to suggest initially! LOL.

OT … you mentioned no comment in 10 days. Can you see the other topics? If not, you need to log in. Ian is back and we have PMs (private message) capabilities. As always, I love your topics! Take care.

Hi! It’s been ten days since anyone posted. So I thought I’d put this out there and see what you think.
It has to do with moose and how it’s hunted by some Alaskan newcomers for nefarious purposes; not what Mother Nature intended. Also, I firmly believe not what God intended.

I just called some relative after a long spell. I asked her how the natives are doing this year as they prepare for the hard winter ahead.
She told me the natives are hungry. She said certain people esp. from Anchorage come up to their country and trespass. She said they come up to kill moose; but only to keep the antlers. The rest of the kill is thrown away. She described the evidence that natives found. She predicted the rough times coming because there is less moose to share with one another.

We know this is not what everyone does. It’s only the ones who have no respect for the laws of Mother Nature who disrespect her creatures.

I told her that the natives should form a coalition to safeguard their livelihood. She agreed. We agreed the problem is that the natives are not sophisticated enough to utilize their potential power at the polls. They have little choice but to move forward using all the help they can muster from any and all sources.

Personally, I am completely disgusted by those who only kill because they want the trophies.
I well recall an article with photos in NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC. It showed a light-haired, rather portly man sitting in his living room surrounded by many, many heads and horns of Alaskan wildlife such as dall sheep on the walls.
He had the look of a zombie; like he had no soul.
