I understand there is a literary license used by all authors so I appreciate the extra mile they go, to make a sometimes stale story exciting and enjoyable to read. I really liked his article entitled "Cub Killer" (I think that was the title.) in Outdoor Life years ago. -tnscouter

POS is too kind... Sitka deer, I haven't heard the story before and was curious to the reasons behind Batin's actions. Is it cool for you to expound on that or is it better left alone? I'd like to hear about it. Thanks -tnscouter

They were in the hole before anyone else, it was still early. Batten came in and anchored very close and immediately downstream of them... an azzhat tactic called "lowholing"... especially poor form as he had a boatload of charter customers and a big hole to choose a spot in. Very quickly after Batten showed up the daughter hooked a good king and it did what they do and ran downstream. My friend was videotaping the whole time and looking through the camera. The line almost immediately went slack... video review shows Batten pulling out a largish knife and cutting her line. The proof is very clear. Just watching him in his presentations is painful... oh, and he is quite short... Mark Begich, Joaquin Jackson, and Heller resistance... Three huge reasons to worry about the NRA.

OP butchlambert1 Campfire Outfitter B Joined: Dec 2004 Posts: 10,345 Poetry, Texas	Thanks RupertBear, I live on the Amazon website. Finished the Bud Conkle book by Rearden. I really enjoyed it. I have read the Heimo Korth's book, and a book on whaling and living on the North Slope in the 1930s and 40s I believe. Damn I can't remember the name of it. I need to check my little library. Yeah, I also read the book about the young man that lived in a bus near Mt. McKinley(Denali). He didn't survive.

I hear the show is coming back and might be even better this time, even though last time didn't have as much crap drama as "non reality" shows generally do... Working on Bear Man Of Admiralty Island right now since Carolyn just finished it. We can keep Larry Root and all his idiotic blabber and user names on here, but we can't get Ralph back.....

More like 'misguided hoofing and starving in Alaska'. But the lad had enthusiasm, I'll grant him that. I do not entertain hypotheticals. The world itself is vexing enough. -- Col. Stonehill

They built a cabin on Chandalar Lake and spent a month there every fall and the book is almost diary-like, but very well written. Mark Begich, Joaquin Jackson, and Heller resistance...

Maybe you can glean some of what I mean The guys a hoot and a very good outdoorsman I really like nick Jan's early stuff when he still lived in ambler He's a good writer and had interesting stories to tell Then he moved to Juneau and went all bunny hugger I'm pretty certain when we sing our anthem and mention the land of the free, the original intent didn't mean cell phones, food stamps and birth control.
