BrettAKSCIWhat to hunting near Wasilla?
As you all probably know from my other threads I just moved to hopefully Wasilla/ maybe Anchorage. I'll of course be an out of state hunter this fall. What are some of the better hunting opportunities open to a guy willing to work hard, with some funds (read not unlimited), and unknown time off at this point. As an out of stater what can I do? What do I have a reasonable chance at? Should I stick to the small game and fishing for a year until I'm a resident or are there other options? Thanks for any input.

Rhyme of the Sheep Hunter
May fordings never be too deep, And alders not too thick; May rock slides never be too steep And ridges not too slick.
And may your bullets shoot as swell As Fred Bear's arrow's flew; And may your nose work just as well As Jack O'Connor's too.
May winds be never at your tail When stalking down the steep; May bears be never on your trail When packing out your sheep.
May the hundred pounds upon you Not make you break or trip; And may the plane in which you flew Await you at the strip.

Joel/AKI'd stick to the small game/fishing. maybe tag along with someone for spring bear and through out the fall season. just to get an idea about hunting up here.
A year does go by fast.

The Food Stamp Program, administered by the U.S. Department of Agriculture, is proud to be distributing this year the greatest amount of free Meals and Food Stamps ever, to 46 million people.
Meanwhile, the National Park Service, administered by the U.S. Department of the Interior, asks us... "Please Do Not Feed the Animals." Their stated reason for the policy is because "The animals will grow dependent on handouts and will not learn to take care of themselves."
Thus ends today's lesson in irony.

I hope you like it there. I have spent several days in ANK 4 different times. I liked it. They do have some good Gun Stores there.
There are several posters on AR that live in the area.
However the people I have met that live there, pretty much say, that you need a plane to get to the good hunting areas.

Joel/AKYou dont need a plane, you just have to be smarter than the road hunters.
Brains goes alot farther than vehicles.
