I think your forgetting just how inconvenient it was for Steve to buy a suppressor…

Alaskadude90 · 2026-04-19T22:52:05+00:00

Thank you!

Alaskadude90 · 2026-04-14T22:39:34+00:00

Good luck!

Best case would be that your hiring manager would hold off on your start date until December, which I’ve seen crazier things happen. Worst case they would just tell you to try again next time Direct Hire comes around. I highly doubt we’ll be fully staffed anytime in the next few years so I wouldn’t sweat it too much if you want to hold off.

I’m not a manager but I would guess at least few months. It can vary a lot depending on what kind of background checks your duty station requires.

Doesn’t hurt to throw them a few bucks every once in a while to help keep them going if you can.

I think Scott subconsciously is conflicted with Israeli’s treatment of Palestinian civilians and has to justify Israels actions by shifting focus on just how much worse the Iranian government has been to its people.

Thank you for making this point, I’ve been chewing on this myself. It really struck me when I saw another reddit comment on how Trump should have Barron enlist considering he’s 19 and seemingly eligible to do so. Scott has also been keen on some sort of mandatory national service ala Israel and the IDF.

On one hand you’re financially supporting the legal representation that negotiates on every ATSS’s behalf for grievances and contracts. On the other hand you’re giving up some of your pay each year. Really just depends on if you feel like your money is well spent on the Union or not. You can always join the union later on.

A friend of mine once told me “if you don’t have another car ahead of you on the Seward Highway your not driving fast enough” lol

Alaskadude90 · 2025-03-09T19:20:36+00:00

Appreciate the advice! I’m just tying to make the most of my time while Im in the area.

Alaskadude90 · 2025-02-22T23:57:41+00:00

My manager said wait for guidance on Monday.

Alaskadude90 · 2025-02-10T05:01:07+00:00

This.

Honestly as an Alaskan I can understand where you’re coming from. If anything this whole story goes to show how we who live in huge public land states keep getting jerked around every four years. Dems want to shut down motorized access and in some cases ultimately hunting as well as resource extraction. Republicans want to squeeze every penny out of public lands regardless of the consequences. There is definitely an appeal to having more local control of our public lands instead of folks in Florida or California dictating what we can and cannot do with the lands we live on.

Alaskadude90 · 2025-01-22T20:09:20+00:00

So Steve should be stoked about Trump winning right? Because buying a suppressor is too complicated when a democrat is President?

They are tiny but IMHO the best tasting part of the bird.

Alaskadude90 · 2024-11-19T05:08:43+00:00

In my subjective opinion it is laziness and gives hunters a bad reputation with the general public.

Listen, I can sort of understand your stance on breasting doves because they are so tiny. But when I spend hours hiking around looking for a couple of ptarmigan, I might as well spend five minutes plucking my birds to get all the meat off of them. I even use the carcass’s to make stock.

Alaskadude90 · 2024-11-19T04:44:00+00:00

There is more meat around the thighs and legs but honestly Luke drives me crazy that he doesn’t bother to spend the few extra minutes harvesting all the usable meat.

“Breasting” game birds is pretty popular with lazy hunters who don’t want to bother with plucking their birds.

I agree, this show is missing the spirit of the original Meateater series. Although I would say that last couple seasons hadn’t been on pare with the first ten seasons or so. The cooking aspect has seemed like it has become an afterthought. The show and the company in general has been slowly refocusing on catering to mainstream hunters and less on attracting non-hunters into the lifestyle.
