My wife and I are both avid outdoors people and Alaska has given us the opportunity to enjoy
to the fullest.  Fishing and hunting are the best I've ever known up here.  Although we're no trophy hunters
or professional fisherman, we seldom have problems filling the freezer every year.
Starting with the King (Chinook) salmon season around the end of May and continuing on to the fall Moose season in Sept.
We're found most weekends out looking for something to catch or hunt.  Here are a few of our more enjoyable trips.
As well as some great links for hunting and fishing info here in Alaska.  Come on up, you'll never experience anywhere else like it.
    This is my wife Witchy Woman and a good friend of ours Jerry Reed (really that's his name), taken during the fall of '96 after both moose had been called in to within less than 20 yards.  Although Witchy has hunted for years with me this was her first big game animal.  Not sure who was more excited her or me while calling it in.  We managed to bring him in from over 300 yards away all the way around a huge clearing.  If you've never called in a 1000 lb animal looking for a fight then you should really try it.  Watching a bull moose heading your way stiff legged and ready to take on any challenger is something to get your blood pumping.
 
Another shot of Witchy's first moose.  Fall of  '96 shortly after falling him.  To say she was a little happy would be an understatement.  I consider myself the luckiest man on earth. Witchy not only loves hunting and fishing with me, but got mad because I wasn't letting her do enough of the dirty work while packing this beast out.  So I let her jump in with both feet and arms, and if you've never cleaned a moose you can only imagine what I'm talking about...

 
 
 

    Here is Todd Sterner a fellow I work with up here and his '97 moose.  Needless to say this one was a real dandy.  Measuring at 67" spread and taken near the Alaska range in northern Alaska.  Unlike most of mine and Witchy's hunting Todd had to pack this animal out on his back to the airstrip.  14 trips with a 100 plus pound pack and you really start to question your sanity.  Course I've always questioned Todds sanity.  When it comes to luck this man has it.  Getting this fine moose and getting drawn for one of the prime Dall Sheep hunting areas in Alaska all in the same year.
 


Here is a shot of the results of that hunt.   Another fine looking animal this 37 1/2" full curl Dall ram taken in the Tok management area of Alaska.  Todd not only got drawn for the hunt but also managed to find a neighbor that has a Super Cub (the Alaska taxi) and the knowledge of where to go with it.  Setting him and his party down in prime sheep area.  The picture may not look it but this is no little hill either.  This was taken looking down, almost straight down a rather large mountain.  Dall sheep inhabit some of the most beautiful and rugged areas of the state.
