The rain was light as Dunk and I sat on the top of a steep and forested bank overlooking the Nonvianuk River. Smoking Camel cigs we lounged in our gore-tex waders on a soft bed of lingonberry bushes, blueberry bushes, and caribou moss. Our location miles above the Nonvianuk River’s confluence with the Kukaklek River to form the Alagnak River — Surrounded by over two million acres of Alaskan wilderness. Dunk is a seasoned hard-working fly fishing guide and river captain on the gnarliest river system in Alaska. And the “fishiest” professional guide I have ever met. An Alaskan local from Anchorage, Dunk has beenRead More →

The Alagnak is a wild and vast river. Flowing for a hundred miles or more through the Alaskan bush, it rips apart tree-lined  banks, tumbles rocks the size of refrigerators the distance of a football field, washing and wearing down the tundra. Finding it’s course it gouges new routes each season, turning rocks into pebbles and sand; It’s j0b since the dawn of time. Sending countless millions upon millions of gallons of freshwater over the wilderness to the ocean of Bristol Bay. My days are spent travelling The Alagnak as the captain of a 16 foot Lowe Roughneck flat bottom scow with a 60 HPRead More →

November in Upstate New York is whitetail deer hunting season! Big game hunting is a healthy outdoor activity that can be both exciting and bountiful! Whitetail deer hunting is a great way to get outside and observe wildlife and put meat in your freezer. Deer hunting can mean different things to different people. What every deer hunter wants is a big buck. Each moment in the woods, in the blind, or in the tree stand, every deer hunter anticipates a mature buck with big antlers will appear. Sometimes they do. Whitetail deer hunting requires patience and skill, but it is a game of luck. AndRead More →

The years seem to go by like yesterdays. When the age of 50 hits it requires me to sit down and think about life a little bit. A lot of bit in fact. The year 2022 marks my 19th year leading others in pursuit of fish and game as a licensed guide. Vibrant and vivid memories of all the nice people and beautiful places I have known in nearly two decades of professional guiding come to my mind. It is easy for me to get lost in reflecting on memories of seasons past. I become overwhelmed with happiness and satisfaction. What stands out most, besidesRead More →

A couple other methods deer hunters use is called driving and pushing. They are simple, effective, and makes deer hunting much more communal. When driving deer, the more hunters the better. The pushing of deer, however, is best done with just a few hunters. Driving and pushing are deer hunting methods that mankind has been practicing since we learned that deer are good to eat. A book written by Canadian biologist Farley Mowat documented the lives of a now extinct tribe of native tundra nomads whose existence relied entirely upon caribou. The book is called People Of The Deer and I recommend it. These native people of theRead More →

On a recent visit to my friend Fick’s hunting camp, on the banks of the upper Indian River in Lewis County, the dinner discussion began. The topic? Deer hunting. What else. While enjoying a cold beer and plate of fried wood duck breasts over wild rice, I posed the questions and Fick gave the answers and explanations. And then I questioned his explanations and answers. Our usual routine. The terrain we hunt around Fick’s camp is the most rugged country I have hunted anywhere on the planet. (The only exception is the Canadian Sub-Arctic or Taiga). At Fick’s camp, we are surrounded by vast tractsRead More →

A friend of mine, George, is an avid outdoorsman here in upstate New York. George has spent thousands of hours trapping and hunting turkeys over the course of his lifetime. His skills are fine tuned. The truth that proves it is his ability to place the pad of a coyotes foot on a three inch diameter steel trap pan within hundreds of acres of farmland. As a hard-core fur trapper for over thirty years, George has seen many shenanigans performed by deer hunters. An overall lack of respect for the environment, misuse of state land (and private land) is often displayed by some of the legion ofRead More →

  With the busiest open-water season I have ever had behind me, I now look forward to hunting season. Whitetail hunting was something I took interest in and became fascinated with as a teenager. After 35 years of hunting whitetails, and 17 years as a licensed guide, I have decided to offer my deer hunting experience to novice and beginner hunters. This delayed response to the guiding of deer is the effect of a few different factors. Number one is that the fair chase hunting of whitetail deer is a most difficult game. The odds are well stacked in the deers’ favor. Second, I often thought ofRead More →
