This is what's great about alaska. It's big, and although each and every corner of the state however similar can varie in so many ways. Being Alaskan Born and Raised in the South West (YK Delta), you are acustomed to your surroundings. I cannot comment on hunting in other regions of our great state because I haven't done it. There never was a need to. There's caribou, moose, bears, and many small game in which to hunt and trap in my region. Here along the lower Yukon river and its connecting sloughs, the banks are lined with thick willows, alders and cottonwood tree's. there's also openings where the banks have eroded and exposed meadows once hidden by these growth of tree's. there's no 'old logging' trails or 'mining' roads out here. It's safe to say that 9 out of 10 moose kills have to be packed. Whether its 50 ft or 300 yds. I've done both and many in between. Whether it was mine, my hunting partners or just helping out other hunter's packing game out. We out here help our neighborhs if they need it. Yes it can be tough packing meat out but when you've worked all day and your boat has a moose in it and you and your hunting partners are catching your breath and resting, there's no greater satisfaction then of a job well done. I can't emagine living anywhere else. Scott
