I'm in my late-50's now and it has been a dream of mine since I was a kid to hunt your great state! Who remembers how the stories by Jack O'Connor and Russell Annabel fueled your dreams? Well, two years ago, with the blessings of my wife and with some great friends we began to plan our greatest hunt. Was it what I thought it would be? No...it was MORE!! The people were great - thanks to Alaska G&F and the great folks at their Anchorage Office, our processor, transporter and anyone else we met along the way. We hunted the 40-Mile herd and we all took great bulls and our friend from Anchorage also took a beautiful grizzly. I also learned there is a big difference between wilderness and 'wild'. What we experienced was 'wild' country - a white wolf, wolverine, moose, thousands of caribou, incredible weather and scenery - we saw and experienced it all. When the wind quit blowing...the absolute silence was deafening! We were remote, but we were reborn. Thanks Alaska...I hope we can come and do it again sometime.
