Silly Monkey
Via Maggies Farm
This monkey buisiness reminded me of one of my favorite watering holes. Darwin's Theory in downtown Anchorage Alaska. Their motto. "A smart monkey never messes around with another monkeys monkey."

Alaskan Clydesdale
This story moved back to the top for some crass self promotion.
Other than my two loyal readers, and the occasional hit via the IowaHawk blogroll The Salmon generally plugs along in relative anonymity, but once in a while a story will hit a nerve and visits will skyrocket. The Alaskan Clydesdale was one such post and I want to thank Marlinowners. Com and Levergunowners.com for linking to it.
A friend in the north country sent me this incredible story.
"Only in Alaska....... This guy raised an abandoned moose calf with his horses, and believe it or not, he has trained it for lumber removal and other hauling tasks. Given the 2,000 pounds of robust muscle, and the splayed, grippy hooves, he claims it is the best work animal he has. He says the secret to keeping the moose around is a sweet salt lick, although during the rut he disappears for a couple of weeks, but always comes home.... impressive!"
Thx Steve.

Flotsam and Jetsam: Nature Running Wild
One of the things I miss about living in Alaska was the fact that wildlife was literally as close as your front door. Quite often moose would make camp in the front yard and chew the crab apple tree down to the nubs in the winter, and in the summer there would be the occasional bear strolling through the neighborhood. This video was sent to me by a friend in Anchorage. See it here
Thx Nette!
When I first saw this photo I was sure that sleg dog was on the menu. See the whole story here.
Thanks to Maggies Farm.
"The roughly 18-point buck he shot and killed was dragging with it a dead 10-point buck. The two deer had fought and their antlers had become irreversibly joined."They are locked," Willmsen said. Nice job Jim!Thanks to the Gazette. Story and video here.
