[QUOTE="NorsemanAlaska, post: 1319150, member: 101498"] My first 15 or so years here in Alaska I hunted off the road system mostly with a few fly in hunts or off a boat we'd anchor up and skiff back and forth to the beach. The last 20 years or so I go off the road system by flying in. We either fly into an area and make base camp or fly to a location and boat up river to base camp and then wear a pack to hunt. Sometimes we'll hike a few miles from base camp and set up a small spike camp for a couple days to hunt a specific area. Sometimes we day hunt in and out of base camp. But there's no wheelers or horses where I hunt so you have to carry out your animals. Packing moose or caribou quarters anywhere from 1-5 miles from base camp, most times more then one trip, is a honest hard working endeavor. You really "earn your meat" so to speak..... Our saying is "don't shoot something further away then you want to carry it" :) And at 54 years old I have carried a LOT of meat out in a pack... [/QUOTE]
