Hahaha. . .do your homework and get back to me.
Just kidding. My crab and shrimp traps go out in front of my house if I need some of either. There is a 6 month deer season (limit 4 bucks), bear season is September 1 to the following June 30 (limit 2). Elk are across Clarence Strait on Etolin (draw hunt). Moose are 50 miles away by boat on Kuiu (OTC tag), all the salmon are either in the streams or the salt, steelhead start showing up in a couple of weeks and go through May, halibut, lingcod, rockfish, flounder, all the clams you want for the digging, wolf. People are by and large quite conservative with a "live and let live" outlook on life.
The deer hunting can be any combination of beach hunts, low country/muskeg and making the effort to get up to the alpine. You could explore POW and the surrounding islands and water the rest of your life and not get to it all.
It is growing zone 7b, not very cold winters, and not very warm summers. Did I mention it rains? This was the first year it did not get cold enough to freeze the bay which is awesome since my boys and I commute two miles to the town dock every day to get to school.
Teachers have a tremendous amount of autonomy, which can be intimidating. I bring the middle school and high school kids on what we call Subsistence Week. We camp, hunt, set halibut skates, shrimp pots, go fishing. Parents join us as much as they can to hunt and cook amazing food at camp.
Whale Pass school runs an annual fund raiser which is a Gun Calendar raffle. We sell 100 calendars at $200 each, and have an awesome list of rifles. We send kids to archery Nationals every year. We are starting the national marksmanship program. We have a four day school week; three days of academics, and a day of electives. My afternoon elective this year is Outdoor and Subsistence Skills.
