You can get all the detail at the DNR site on the fees. If I recall it was around $350 bucks this year and is going up again. Its spendy for non residents.

Not REAL sure ole Buzz is tellin the whole truth about dem Grits. I'm a thinkin he had some at Sawlex breakfast one morning. :

;) ;D ;D

Kirk_Allen · January 21, 2006, 09:05:26 PM

Trust me Harold, he didnt eat any at Sawlex. He even had a hard time sitting next to me and watching me eat a bowl of them.

I know on the trip south we didn't eat breaksfst but one time and that was at Burger King, if you can call that breakfast. Somerhing about grits that just dont sit right with him. ;D I couldnt figure it out but I sure hope he comes to his senses if he is going with me again cuz I am going to eat some GRITS! 8) 8)

Hope Y'all know what yer gettin into. Gator huntin is done AT NIGHT, in the DARK. Skeeters bigger'n bald Iggles, that argue whether to eat you on the spot, or drag ya back to the den. Ya otter git Ed to have the ''Guvner'' take ya in his airboat.

Speekin of the ''Guvner'', heard from him lately, Eddard ???

Kirk_Allen · January 22, 2006, 11:03:41 AM

You want to see some big skeeters come to Alaska. They are the State Bird. :D

Fla._Deadheader · January 22, 2006, 11:07:14 AM

Been there. Ever been up around McGrath ?? From there we flew 20 minutes to Ganes Creek. Most skeeters hide in the shade or before and after sunrise -set.

Buzz-sawyer · January 22, 2006, 03:31:37 PM

Ley me assure ALL the gator hunters on this thread....that no amount of grits will better my lethal effect....in other words the gator is a dead man! ;) :D
Deadhead.....you must seen ole Mr Kirk woofin those cantankerous grity goobers at sawlex.......... :

I was pilling up the plate with hash browns, eggs, gravy biscuts......NOW thats gator killin food.....
I was thinking of also getting a permit to kill one of those swamp woods mosquitos......and have it stuffed and put over the mantle at the new house......... :D :D

As for those hounds of heck.........I do recall DanG softly saying something as I wandered away from the ogling sawyers....But I saw a rusty tractor and a shed half piled with treasure/junk.........how is a brother supposed to resist that ??? ??? 8) 8)

Hey Ed......I dont know why that ole boy thinks he needs to have a mill......everyone knows you cannot run one with a can of Bud in your hand ;)

Fla._Deadheader · January 22, 2006, 04:26:47 PM

:D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D

Buzz, what's the skinny on that there Bandmill you was weldin around on ???

Buzz-sawyer · January 22, 2006, 06:29:00 PM

Well, as you may remember, I have been working hard to complete your guest room ,

so you dont have to brave the elements and water the tree when ya visit...........our goal is to prepare a deadhead friendly environment...as good as, or better than a rice patty.

so, that being said,
I havent given the mill project a lick of attention for months, but have been spraying texture, finishing, electrical, painting, plumbing, and .......ocassionally sawing on your Homey sawmill contraption out in the middle of the swamp ;D 8) 8) 8)

Buzz-sawyer · January 22, 2006, 08:50:14 PM

here is a view inside Dick's saw shed, the logs come in behind these guys, then hit a double band..........

Here is handy gizmo......light weight John Deere forwarder, they use it to jokey logs aroud the mill among other things

Fla._Deadheader · January 22, 2006, 09:04:36 PM

Buzz, you actually drive ole Homey ?? How'd ya like it , other than the clamp not up to snuff ??

Buzz-sawyer · January 22, 2006, 09:24:09 PM

WELL............
actually ole Edwardo had a firm grip on those controls and a steely determination......I did however manage to stack some lumber 8) 8)
Believe me I gave her the once over twice.....like ya say the clamp slowed things down.....but a great rig

Fla._Deadheader · January 22, 2006, 09:37:02 PM

The clamp used to work well. Still a litte slow, but, it would really pinch a log. We used it to raise the log or cant some, then back away and flip it or at least help flip it. Just need a better motor.

swampy · January 23, 2006, 08:33:31 AM

Nope ain't heard from the Guvner. I am tring to get all the info on the Gator hunts this year and see when they are. I tried to get buzz to run homey but everytime I looked around to find him he was off looking for hogs and deer and turkey as there were alot of hog tracks around ;) :D :D ;). I thought they made a beer can holder that attached right to the side of the control box to run the mill. This would be a great idea to invent and sell them with an extra long straw so you would not have to lift the can. Just got done with a large bowl of high octane, go get-em grits so I am off to work ;D ;D ;D ;D. The clamp works well but I am still looking for another motor witrh more torque to it.

Kirk_Allen · January 23, 2006, 09:04:00 AM

Harold, I have been to McGrath MANY times. We use to fly supplies in there all the time. Great staging point for some awesome fly in hunts as well.

Were heading back in May to buy our land. 8) 8) 8) 8)

Fla._Deadheader · January 23, 2006, 02:29:03 PM

Don't know much about planes, but, when I was there, we took off in a single engine plane, with 6 people and our gear. The Pilot went to the tail and lifted it a bit, to ''test'' if the plane would lift off the runway.

He figured so, but, we used MOST of that looonnnnng runway to get airborne.

We flew to Ganes Creek, past 1 mountain top that we could NOT gain altitude to rise over. We skirted that sucker. :

:

When we finally touched down, I have NEVER seen such a display of sparks coming from a set of brakes, in all my borned days.

:D

Murf · January 23, 2006, 02:32:53 PM

Dat sorta ting gits downright exciting when ya do it with a float plane Harold. :D :D

Fla._Deadheader · January 23, 2006, 04:16:58 PM

Got brakes on dat float plane ???

I was wonderin if we was gonna stop before the runway gave out, but, them sparks caused a LOT of drag on the air and we made it OK ;D ;D :D :D

The plane wasn't none too pretty, and this Dude came wandering over to us, dressed in Jeans with forty-leben patches and grubby hands. Figgered it was the mechanic. WRONG.
