How Many is enough?

[font "Calibri"]Sorry for being a bit to general with my post. The economics of Alaska is not much different than anywhere else right now. What I am referring to is families in semi remote areas. I am well aware of the regulations regarding taking game for personal consumption as a last resort. While the law has it merits, I’m sure is used often and abused. That is not the issue though. The point I tried to make was that it is best not to judge someone by how many fish he keeps out of the water. I use to live in a semi remote area in Alaska outside of Glennallen. While I was there I have met many good people just trying to get by. Many would hunt and fish to provide the main staple of food for their families. Most would dip net silvers and king salmon close to home. It can be time consuming but would you consider taking 40 silvers over a few days. I know many that do and use everything they catch. You just can’t count on getting a moose or a bear or two every year. There are groceries available within about 45 minute drive from where I was but, then again many were farther than I was. As you can imagine their prices were less than reasonable as well. Sure Costco is a great option if there is one close enough to make the trip worthwhile. That tends to not be the case with a smaller minority of people. [/font]
[font "Calibri"]Overall I just want to say that life is tough and nobody knows what another family is going through unless you ask. For this reason I can say that I try not to judge what others do when it comes to fishing. Going over the limit or not obeying the rules is unacceptable for myself and many others who have lived in less than ideal environments.[/font]
