Just read this article. Should hopefully make some people think twice about following the regulations. https://news.yahoo.com/alaska-moose-poacher-fined-100-000-sentenced-jail-213527205.html
Alaskan moose poacher

Alaska doesn’t play at all. Not with any of nature’s tasty critters or swimmers. You WILL get the book every time. They also have amazing regulations that seems you need a masters to figure out, but it works.

Alaska doesn’t mess around with waste of meat. Canada has harsh penalties also....a guide once told me that he would spend less time in jail if he shot a person than if he shot a moose out of season....don’t know how true that is but it did get the point across that they don’t play when it comes to poaching a moose!
That’s what they say.
As far as the meat...they go as far as to say you must take the tongue. Don’t let them find a animal with a tongue still in it. They will find you! The rack is also the last thing to be taken from the field.
Well if ya take the tounge. What about the nuts?
Maybe he was eating some bad stuff etc....For real tho a 45 inch spread.i guess I could see that happening out of excitement. Still tho I would have to clean that animal and make the call.
The other two anyone should have been able to know. The DOW will never get their 100k. Shoulada just took his L’S Ita obvious he wasn’t starving.
Alsaska May have some great laws.
I’ve watched the show life below zero tho.Saw a few things I didn’t like.
One was taking a boat up river and finding caribou crossing river pulling up beside it in the water and shooting it in the head with a 22. They shot probably five or so. Basically put them on a stronger and moved on.
Then setting up a big net and driving hare/rabbits in to it. Then clubbing them to death.
I don’t live in Alaska/never been there. (Bucket list trip) but I wouldn’t shoot anything in a river by driving up to it and putting a 22 to it’s head. Unless of course I was starving.
In the defense of the people they said you are allowed to kill more to use for trade. They were doing A okay on the killing part. Guess it’s a different life up that way. I say the least. But watching that from my house was like wtf?
Those guys doing that aren’t hunting for sport, they need the meat to get to spring. You kill when the game comes, same with salmon. None of those animals go to waste. Every bit get used. Subsistence living
Well seeing they had killed a moose the week before. Watching the show it was a family of five I believe. When they had done that to the caribou they said they use it to trade as well.
These people killed enough animals/caught enough fish etc to feed a whole damn army. Way beyond what they needed.
Dudes wife tho. Did use damn near every piece of animal, coats jacket bones etc. She was one smart Eskimo.. They were killing for trade. In quite a few instances.
That family probably is a huge support to the local village. You can also proxy hunt and fish in Alaska. I can see your point here, but many remote places don’t have s store you go to, you run over to Myballsfrozztomylegz house and trade him rice/sugar/salt for meat. Hard to explain, but I don’t have a problem with it as it doesn’t go to waste and they help each other. Not like they sell stuff for profit, trade/bargain system. I ran my store on the same system. Money is only worth so much, but trade me some time or something you no longer need, we can make a deal. Taught a lot of young troops that you can get what you need without a dollar paid.
You see the one where Agnes (the woman u speak of) sucks the eggs out of a live whitefish from the river? I dont know if I cringed or if it turned me on alittle bit......
I missed that one. If it’s the same lady I’m thinking of I probably would kiss her husband before her.
Somone find that clip and play it here. We need to take a vote! Lmao nah really I want to see that.
I thought the hailstones in that show didn’t follow certain regulations because the woman is a native Eskimo. I assumed this because her and her kids can hunt seals, but her husband can’t even be on the boat. Those were my assumptions but never cared enough to check.

Maybe this will help....Seriously, I just dry heaved...
You guys build your own fantasy...I know what they look, act and smell like.
But like all Alaskan girls, I call them popcorn girls. They look pretty good until cooked for 25 years and POW, they blow up over night.
