A couple of weeks ago I did a podcast with Caleb Martin, Executive Director for the Alaska Outdoor Council. We mainly chatted about my guiding career in Alaska. His final question was, “If I had one piece of advice to give to someone who is new to hunting or new to hunting in Alaska, what would it be.” There was a long pause as my brain was trying to engage. As I sat there thinking about everything that is involved in hunting in Alaska I stammered around and finally said, “Be careful out there.” At the time I was not pleased with my answer but that was all that I could come up with for one piece of advice. Later that afternoon when my wife came home, I asked her that same question and without hesitation she said, “Find a good hunting partner.” My response was, “great answer!” Why didn’t I think of that!
