Perhaps the details are best not put on the internet...Don't blame ya.

I needed some harvest tickets, and to talk to the local bio. I walked up to the trooper post. She stops me about 50ft way from the trooper post with a halt signal. Yells at me "what do you want" like I'm doing something wrong by walking up to the [bleep] trooper building. Won't let me talk to the bio, because it's his day off, offers no assistance, and tells me I'm "out of luck"... All while acting like a giant b!tch, from 50ft away.

Do you really blame her?

You're one ugly lookin' mofo.

You must have been carrying a scary looking gun that goes bang, of which sight offended her.

I plan on being in Aniak this sept. What does she look like? Maybe I shouldnt ask......

You gonna use Inland? Tell them I want my $500 deposit back..........

Yep, Inland aviation.

We used them a few years ago and were very happy. We took out 3 bulls and they were running as fast as could be expected.

Inland? Wildone care to tell your story?

I've gone out of Aniak and used Inland before too, and they did a great job. Probably helped that my buddy did work for them when he wasn't guiding fishing trips on the onoko.

Sure had some top notch pilots at that time. Anything can change though.

I'd sure swear one of their worst/newest pilots is on flying wild alaska now for era though.

I was just funnin' him. We're dry, and "they" do sometimes control who can buy yeast, or bring it in, but that's as far off track as they get. Dry is a local option, an option that never seems very popular, but one without any good alternatives in some places. The 'net police don't have any jurisdiction when it comes to stuff like that.

An ADF&G bigshot, recently retired, got whacked for that with caribou or some such several years ago as I recall. I'm sure the dogs wonder why they are expected to eat the required "evidence of sex" we leave "naturally attached" until we get meat home. We can leave the antlers in the field in the fall. Winter is an antlered only season which means, I suppose, that we have to bring the hardware home.

Might just be a girl thng... the repeated reminders...

From what I've heard the Feds. seem to think they own the place. Look at what they did to the guy up on the Yukon this last fall when he didn't pull his boat over when they thought he should have.
Years ago, the Feds. tried screwing my friend by charging him with cutting green timber for tent poles in his dad's hunting camp. He wasn't even in the area when the incident happened & was charged. He had to go to court and got the charge dropped but...
IMHO, the Feds. are [bleep] & I won't go out of my way to help 'em or be extra friendly to 'em. The [bleep] think they own the place.

In fact, as an addendum to this post, I've decided that should I EVER be on a jury of someone charged by these buttheads, I'm not going to vote to convict - period!!! IF a State of Ak. game law has been violated, that's another story but the Feds. can kiss my rosy red posterior.

It's 2011. You need to have your boats registered.

I'll let Calvin do it he was there too.

What they ought to do then, rather than stopping folks in midstream under questionable circumstances, is come out to all these rural places and hand out tickets. Few boats, very few, are actually licensed. Perhaps they'd rather snipe them individually. While I do support the idea of registering boats, I think it's ridiculous, though it is the law, to register hondas and snowmachines in these remote areas. What's the point - other than for the State to garnish a few more dollars? The Feds could take some cues from the State IMO.

I'm a little bit skeptical of that whole deal. The article clearly says that the LE in that area have had over 200 contacts with the locals, and only 2 tickets were issued. Doesn't sound too bad to me. The troopers had a field day down here last memorial day on the water, and I bet that a whole lot more than 2 people got tickets. I'll admit that I was diving through my boat making sure I had everything I needed when I heard the troopers were pulling over everybody and the tickets were flowing!

I get the impression that a group of people don't want to take the time to play by the same rules everybody else does, and are trying to back down the LE by playing the "rural" card.

BTW, Eagle is on the road system. It's not like they can't drive to town.

Well, I can't say he shouldn't have been on top of things, especially if there is a presence there regularly already. But I wasn't thrilled with the way that deal looked. Of course, many times things look different than they really are. And perhaps he's a guy who's been trolling for trouble.

I agree with the concept of the same rules. I'm not crazy about the rules when there isn't a game however. If you pay the same as everyone else, then perhaps one should be able to hail the Coast Guard the same as others can, or ride on trails just as others do. It's not like I'm a total renegade however. My original boat registration was through the Coast Guard, and my registration number ends with a single letter, so I've been buying the stickers for awhile. I figure reflective tape ain't cheap anyway, so it's not a total waste of money.
