We got most of our pre winter prep work done today in the comfort of a truly fine fall day. Tires swapped, greenhouse winterized, summer stuff stowed away, winter stuff out and ready, etc... Enjoying a cold beer on a warm deck(70F in the semi shade) with The Woman and dog. It most definitely did not suck today! Hope everyone had a great day!

Pretty dang awesome here on the KP.

Nice view there Jeff!

I spent the day in a swamp cutting up moose... glorious is an understatement!

A great morning in the blind!

Climate Change has brought us ab abundance of birds that we don't usually see.
Snow Geese [150] are rarely seen here and this is the largest flock ever but UAF reports
fields full of em. I suspect these are coming from Wrangell Island or some area of Siberia.

Another first for me was the sighting of a flock of Pacific Brant......here in Delta.

Geese have been fewer the last several years.

Chicken Hawks galore!

150 head of bison wandering outside the decoys!

Moose cow/calf in every field but no bulls with em yet.

I better get out to the blind......20F.....better put warmer boots on for another great day
in Alaska.

Looks like today is shaping up to be a beauty as well!

Far North seems to have moved past fall

Very nice! Trust Mrs is doing fine?

Just to busy around here with all the flood damage, but if thats the worst we get, it'll be fine.

Jeff

Overcast here but no GD rain. I need about 2 weeks of yesterday.

Mrs. doing great, thanks. 'nuther great day here! Hope your area heals up from the flooding as well as possible.

Jeff

Wasn't near as sunny here either Mike, but it were dry! 2 weeks of yesterday, would be awesome!

Jeff

Damn! Glad to be missing out on that!

Went to Seward Sat great day and weather, bay calm and nice in the evening unusual for Seward.

Warmed up and melted today, honestly I'd rather it just gets cold and stays cold as the roads are much better up here in the winter.

90 degrees today. Much cooler than we have seen lately. It appears that we will be hunting opening day "first weekend in November" in Tshirts again.

Not even freezing this morning here in Bettles. Might have rained a little last night but not much

Sat and Sunday, opening weekend of bow, was 97 and 97. Screw that. I"ve shot good bucks at 99 on bow opener. But I just have no desire to sit still and sweat in teh shade...

MAGA!!

Yes Sir! Climate change?

Winter coming and the tourists have gone south.

normal variations. I"ve hunted October here when it never got above freezing for over 24 hours, and when its been 100... and all between.

Just not cut out for extended heat anymore though.

I remember that, but it was over 20 years ago.

20 years ago aint' including man induced climate change.

Its changing. ALways has, always will.

Heck there are even fish around Valdez now days. LOL

Except for the ski areas the mountains are empty in the winter here in Colorado.
