If you have a Co-Operative Extension office where you live ask them, they always have the best local information. If you don't have one local you can contact someone from the statewide site: http://www.uaf.edu/ces/ Also with herbs many grow very well in pots, and then you can move them as the weather changes.<br><b>References : </b><br>gardens in Fairbanks It really depends on the area and the herb.

I lived in Anchorage for awhile and grew some herbs there. If you are in Juneau it may be quite different than my Anchorage experience. What herbs are you growing? Annual herbs should be fine. Perennial herbs may or may not survive the winter. Either should be find for the summer. Thyme did fine for me there. Lavender had some difficulty.<br><b>References : </b><br> Which area?

Basil is very very cold sensitive, and doesn't like anything much below 50 degrees. Most other are fine with chilly nights. And unless you can provide a sunny window, outdoors would be better for them in terms of sunlight.<br><b>References : </b><br> Depends on the herb.

Example: in Kansas the river otter was almost trapped to extinction in the 1930's they never really made a comeback until the wildlife department started a reintroduction program. that reintroduction program was paid for exclusively with revenue from hunting licenses and tags. after the populations reached a certain level, they issued a limited number of tags (limited, like, 40) and allowed trappers to harvest them. populations werent negatively affected, so next year they will allow a few more. etc. etc. the end result is that river otters make a comeback in Kansas, and hunters and trappers get to pursue a new species. its all paid for by the hunters. and its their cooperation with the efforts of state wildlife management that makes projects like this so sucessful. the otter wins, the hunter wins, and the state wins, because the more animals means more hunters means more revenue means more projects means more animals means more hunters means more revenue means more projects.... it is a beautiful circle of reintroduction, state revenue, and citizen fulfillment. sorry, got off track there. yes is the answer to your question., a limited harvest of wolves with the intention of stabilizing the population will only benefit all involved. ok Mark, you are entitled to your opinion, but your opinion doesnt include made up facts. farming, industry and urbanization destroyed our ecosystem, not hunters. and you made our point for us. hunters are absolutely required to maintain whats left of it. there are no natural places left in the lower 48. the impact of civilization (not hunters) is what put our ecosystem in a place where it had to be actively managed. hunting is a part of that active management. why do you think the state encourages it? do you honestly believe that the state would let hunters destroy its assets like that? they are responsible for the welfare of the ecosystem, and they do a pretty good job of protecting it. if the expert animal lovers, the stewards or wild critters, the guardian angels to all things furry think its a good idea to thin the numbers through hunting, then im all for it. at least i would tend to trust decades of intensive biological study over the pontifications of a kid on the internet. and if you ever want to be taken seriously, dont cite television documentaries and then say " so i know what i'm talking about" the television is not a credible source, i dont care what channel it was on.<br><b>References : </b><br> i hear you, its been seen in other instances too. in california when they outlawed cougar hunting, cougar attacks spiked. animals as a collective group are quick to take chances and exploit new opportunities. they need to be, in order to survive everything humans have done to the landscape. while this thought is fairly new to you, people have been toiling over this for decades. hunters have not negatively impacted an animal population in about 50 years. in fact, hunters are a crucial tool for the people from the state who manage these animals. hunters provide vital information and population control for the people who are responsible for keeping animals around.

You can use spinners, most work well big and small i use ones called spoons, large silver and shinney and pull them through the water fast. You can use dead baits on the bottom, herring are a good bait. You can attach a dead bait to the hook and reel it back fast and slow this will often temp a pike to take the bait.<br><b>References : </b><br>www.carpinfrance.net Hello you cant catch pike in many ways they are a preditor fish which is why you caught them bass fishing.
