Lurker from AK

I've been in and out of the forums for years, typically never posting or sharing. But now I figure its time to start posting and sharing knowledge that I've gained. I've hunted several L48 states and currently live in AK.

Welcome aboard! Absolutely love Alaska. We had a cabin just north of Willow for a couple years. Covid killed our travel.

My dad got stationed up at Fort Wainwright in 59. I’ve been in and out of Alaska every year but one since then. Sometimes I was living and working sometimes just visiting for a while. I’ve been from Pt. Barrow to POW at one time or another. Never get tired of it, well at least not so tired I don’t come back. Guided out on the Peninsula for 20 years, love it out there and up in the Brooks Range, still pretty wild up there.

I wish I had the option to move up here in my earlier years..it’s an amazing place and at this point I’ll never leave.

I haven’t ventured to the brooks range yet it’s on my agenda for this fall for moose and maybe a caribou.

There is a lot of opportunity to be had here in AK jobs and hunting.

A man needs three things to do well up there. A super cub or similar, 20 foot sled, a raft could be handy. Full wallet doesn’t hurt either. Shit, guy kinda needs a good blue water boat as well.

That’s the truth. - I picked up a sxs and a raft with a outboard.

Now 40 hours deep into flying lol… but I’ll have to sell a kidney to afford a plane.
